Well nushipwright, I was going to mention a trip next year, possibly taking in the sights that snorveys see!!
We'll have to start planning!!
Possibly even meet up with snorvey if he's interested!!
Hey snorvey whereabouts are you based?
I'm originally from Barrhead, have you heard of it?

I've heard of Barrhead Travel Agents! :-)

I'm up in Moray. Deffo up for a meet in the warmer months. Today was 250 miles easy with many photo and refreshment stops.....and none of the normal motorcycle  pain issues like I had on my last Applecross trip

It would seem that heading towards each other  on the A82 would be the plan. Glencoe/ Fort Bill area for lunch?

[Edit] I went camping in Plockton when I was a teenager (many moons ago). I've always fancied going back. My original plan was to go there today as well Applecross......but hey, why not make it two trips :-)

Yep, the petrol station is still there - it's just grabbing one of the locals to fill you up that can be difficult. I used to fill up in Loch Carron, before climbing the hill  but the DT only sips the juice on a long journey, so I went on to Kinlochewe and at 188 miles I filled up...I still had nearly three litres left! Pretty good

Would be interesting to meet up! And seeing three white DownTowns at the same time would be nice too.
Snorver, your photos are killing me (softly.... :) in a positive way)

The man's photos are that good I had to go and do a few miles on Google Street view around the north west of Scotland!! Some (most!) of the roads are superb!!

 170 miles is normally when my fuel light starts flashing. Maybe you're a bit more.....errrr..... Less gentle than me?

Talking of burning fuel, these lads are my next door neighbours.



I luv 'em to bits..... But sometimes the peace and quiet of a wee bike run is very welcome.
