My wife will be working in London for the next few weeks, as we live near Aberdeen I'll be popping down for a long weekend.
I'm thinking about taking the Speed Triple instead of the plane for a laugh.
As the bike is no fun at all on motorways are there any fun roads to get me there or is it just a bloody stupid thing to do?
I've driven around the UK a fair bit but mostly in cars where I've stuck to motorways to save time.
On the bike I'd take a couple of days each way. I know where to go as far as about coldstream (it's quite far south of where I live!!)

There's certainly more than enough good roads for you mate, no need to touch a motorway really, just depends on how far you're willing to detour to avoid them.

You've got some wonderful roads in the scottish borders, and northumberland, cumbria, county durham, north yorkshire are renowned for the roads. Could certainly get you that far quite easily which I'd guess is half way.
