The accident came just two days after another motorcyclist was killed on the A809 Glasgow to Drymen road.
Ch Insp Donald McMillan, head of road policing, said: "In the past week we have seen two families bereaved as a result of road collisions and our thoughts are with them.
"In general, we have seen increasing numbers of motorcyclists and other road traffic due to the good weather which has come in early in the spring.
"The biking season doesn't normally pick up until April but more riders are taking to the roads earlier.
"I would urge them to ensure their bikes are in good working order and properly maintained - especially if they have been garaged over the winter - and remind them to respect the speed limits and generally ride carefully and responsibly."
