So happy you explored the B976 it is the perfect introduction to highland single track roads .. Yes the views are breath taking hahaha .. Yow know your on the good roads when you pass through snow gates.. I did it in the golden hour and with snow on the summits. On my Braemar to Tomintoul NC 500 vlogs . Made me cry . we are less than dots on this landscape. 👌🏻👍🏻💯🎬📽📸

Nice to see folk dabling with roads outside the NC500. You came through the village I live in, Nethybridge. The road from Braemar to Glenshee ski centre is one of my favourite stretches to be naughty on. Often nip up there for a coffee. See Dulsie bridge? I’ve jumped off that 😆 Great vid, cheers for sharing.

Have fun and ride safe.

Great video, it’s lovely to hear your reaction to being in Scotland for the first time. But now you have been the magnetic attraction will bring you back time and time again. Bruce, me ans the clan were on those roads in August around Glanshee up to Tomitool etc, amazing roads probably the best in the UK. My only problem was having to blur my speedo in my KZbin episode, at least in the little Honda and with no Bruce up your ass the speedo stayed nice and clear to read! Cheers.
