    And his will be empty before yours.
    We used to wind up the Porsche owning guys we worked with by referring to them (the cars) as Beetle GT’s, it was proper handbags when we rolled that one out.

    Set off at 0700 and had the road to myself.

    After the cyclist jamboree

    IMG_20190428_074543243_HDR.jpg
    it was a straight run up the side of Loch Ness and through Inverness then down the A96.
    When I passed the 42 cafe, in Forres, it was empty so I kept going till Cullen,

    when I stopped for a look round a curiosity shop, that I pass every day and never get to go in.

    IMG_20190428_112426503_HDR.jpg IMG_20190428_113834309_HDR.jpg

    Home and washed the bike IMG_20190428_131840556_HDR.jpg
    That was a cracking little break the 'Road to the Isles is fantastic and so is the road from Skye to Invermoriston.

    Cant wait for the Scottish Tour next month .

    Aye shes grand Andy. Chalk and Cheese from the GT. She gets the adrenaline pumping. a superb bike really, and comfortable.
    5 star does not do her justice.

    This morning I came round a corner out of Skye, trees at the road side, in front of me I saw movement, and the thoughts in my head went something like, "fu3k, whats that ..badger to big.. WTF..Bigfoot no badger WTF WTF " then three more in quick order.
