Top read folks, now we have proof from non-scottish folk that our roads are quality.... Very Happy

To be honest, I'd of given anyhting to have been in a tent, in a forest when that thunderstorm struck...talk about an atmosphere... Very Happy

I've been promising myself that *When* I get my bike, I'll take 2 weeks off and tour Scotland.

That post, and those awesome pictures have made me get my arse in gear, I'm going to book my 4 day course Friday.

Thanks lads. Thumbs Up

the best roads are in scotland and especiallly the highlands.
the garve to ullapool road and the invermoriston to kyle roads are my favourite. the golspie to thurso road used to be brill too, but they are straightening all the lovely hairpins, so thats it knackered.
a good trip to do is the lochinver and right round the top. see some beautiful scenery there.
i am very lucky as i have all these roads very close to me.

Good post boys.

Going in two weeks. Lovely.

Good to see you got there in one day, makes the plan of getting there in two days in a rather more comfortable vehicle sound reasonable.

I'd like a sports rack.

Have everything else.

I have at time contemplated going on the SV, but those thoughts never last.

That was an excellent read lads. Well Done!

It makes me yearn for more touring though. At least it also inspires.

Good Stuff, we want to hear of more adventures!

If anyones planning a rideout up by Inverness, Why not pop into BRC Motorcycles up in muir of ord - Only 15mins outside of Inverness!

Go over the Kessock bridge outside Inverness, continue until the tore roundabout, head towards muir of ord, past a woodmill on your left, and turn left towards an industrial esate (lots of trees on that junction with a little pond next to it) go through the estate until you get to the 'Great North Road', turn left and along by the JCB garage, youll see the shop, next to a scrapyard. (closed sundays and mondays btw!!) And if you get to Beuly youve went too far!

My stepdad (Malcs) and Sparks took over this shop back in January this year and all seems to be going well! (I might be there too as i usually give them a hand)

Free tea and coffee if you ask Thumbs Up
