Well that's me home from my September weekend trip to Skye and beyond...set off on Thursday morning and it rained just about the entire journey...gear held out but left boot gave up with 30min to go..lol...one wet sock ain't too bad considering. Stopped at Tyndrum for roll n haggis and coffee then finally got to Portree around 4.30pm. Weather dried out and remained dry if a little windy at times. Here are some pics in the order they were taken...can't wait to do it all again..

Sorry for quality of pics as I'm using my phones camera and the exposure gets a bit confused at times but none the less, the run over to Applecross was amazing and the views of Torridon awesome... hope you enjoy pics, especially distillery mouser and Robin :)

Bike was flawless again and never missed a beat.

cheers

Love that picture with the bike in the foreground and the valley beyond. That colourscheme makes it like right at home in that landscape.

 

Glad you had a good time up there.

If you visit in Summer you'll be amazed at how many foreign bikes you come across.  The roads attract them.....the roads and the scenery....the roads the scenery and the whisky...........     and the weather ;)


900 with better bits. Owes me nothing, Makes me smile
