There were no other cars involved and the road was closed in both directions.
Sergeant Archie McGuire said: “Our thoughts are with the man’s family and friends at this difficult time.
“Enquiries are ongoing and we are asking anyone who has not already spoken to officers and can assist with our investigation to get in touch.
“We would also like to see any dashcam footage that captures the vehicle or the rider involved prior to the collision happening.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101 quoting incident number 1392 of May 9 2024.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
