Me too...did the same with wifey in 2012....even visited the same store Green welly store :) and battled weather demons too.... glad to know they found gold...we did too in the beauty of the place

We go every year, stay in Fort William, put the bikes in the van and drive up from near where you live near Donington park, I take my S1000rr, it's our favourite holiday of the year the Kyle of Lochalsh road is a mega road to have a play on the sports bikes and the view is unreal !

Why travel abroad, we've got it all here. Stunning scenery and a bit of rain thanks Taylor.🏍🌧👏

Absolutely beautiful and on our own doorstep so to speak. This is the first tour I plan to do when I finally pass my MOD 1&2 😆.

Great video Taylor, lost count of the amount of times i’ve done them roads over the years, i can imagine the conversation now, “I’m going Scotland with a few mates, Taylor Mackenzie, his dad & a few more” “Oh ok, are they any good”? 😂😂

Well done today at Snetterton mate, crazy racing and some great results 👍👍👍👍😁😁😁

Excellent stuff Taylor, more of these please.

Brilliant photography Taylor. Makes the video, short, sharp, snappy and enjoyable. This place is my back garden (and of course your dad’s old stomping ground - Denny), so I’m really glad that you enjoyed it. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏍

Scotland is a fantastic place I think you were unlucky with the weather it’s been so dry this year 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Scotland next year for me again. I rode in some biblical weather down the M74 from Glasgow a few years ago into horizontal rain, a gusting south westerly gail and at night. I counter steered into it all the way down as far as Gretna and the arm pump was so bad it was either stop or die basically. A memorable trip.

Taylor Interesting fact.The train journey from Fort William to Mallaig was voted the most scenic in the world a few years ago,it's amazing. Great couple of days you had there.

The road from Fort Bill to Mallaig is also outstanding.. plus you can get the ferry to Skye, it's only around 30 minutes travel..

2022 go to Glasgow, pick up Gordon Grigor & Don Rutherford (West Coast Harley) & Graeme Ferguson (Mickey Oates Suzuki), head down to Campbeltown (whisky capital) via Loch Lomond, Inveraray, Lochgilphead. Then do the islands & more whisky ... Islay, Ghia, Jura. Take a ferry back via Dunoon. This is the best motorcycle road in Scotland.

I've just done that journey myself, and it was just what I needed to shake the lockdown out of me. I grew up in Ross-shire and the Hebrides, and for some reason we moved to Norfolk ffs! (bonus: Snett)

Sorry, only just caught up with this vid as we were @ Snetterton last Sunday and well done on your 2nd place. Tried to catch your attention on the podium, but think you were more overjoyed with the result, so had a chat with Billy instead. Did the west coast to Torridon in 2018, so did the same roads on the way up, stopped in Tyndrum and filled up at the same station before taking in Glencoe. Such amazing roads. Lucky to catch only one storm all week. Your journey home looked pants. Need to get back up there soon. Nice to see your dad 'borrow' a bike from Redline. A great set-up and always happy with their service.

The river at 9 mins in is the famous river spey , prolific atlantic salmon river, as you went over the river spey and turned right for tomintoul , few miles up the road is famous "Brig O Broon", in songs, then you hit tomintoul and out the backroad to aberdeen, past the ski lift etc awesome video Taylor

Nothing like the spray of water off the road surface from a huge truck. The rain was comfortable till that !! Excellent video- crazy swimmers are world wide evidently !! And it doesn't get any better than riding with people you don't have to worry about, riding skills that is.

Dude, reminded me of my last trip on the NC500. It pissed it down every day except one. On that one dry day I was heading through Wester Ross, the weather was just perfect. Blue skies, a couple clouds dotted here and there. Empty roads.And every corner was painted a beautiful image of why the north of Scotland is truly a world class destination. That is, if you can ignore the figgin midges 😀

Wow Taylor, that was awesome!! We have so many great places to visit on our Island. It must be so cool having a dad like your's, he is loved by us fans. Yeah do lots more with your pops cos he is cool AF! Hey and you are too Sir! Oh and superb video editing👍🏻

Enjoyed your video, hadn’t heard of you as I don’t follow bike racing now but did recognise your dad although not straight away. Have a photo with him and my dad along with an autograph when I met him at the Scottish Motorcycle show many years ago, he was always the person I looked out for in racing then👍

I also visited that castle this year on a bike tour . I’m up that way a lot in fact but first time to Castle Tioram. Cracking views . The single track road along the river is a bit sketchy.

Helmet hair, the best and simplest way. Seriously, these roads and scenery are a revelation. It's best to take time to walk some of the mountains though.

Absolutely epic, can't fault you Taylor it's amazing up there, rode around the Cairngorms 6 weeks ago with the Mrs, stayed in the middle of nowhere just outside of Edzell, heading to Dumfries in 2 weeks (annual trip for a bunch of us) for the weekend, and yeah......the rain, all part of it pal 😂😂 cheers for sharing appreciated as always 🙂👍
