Featured Touring Off For A Ride, Back In A Bit....

The back road that runs parallel to the Invershin road, just on the other banking, is probably 10 miles from bridge to bridge, no other vehicle crossing points.
It's a pleasant country lane where you let the world go by, again 4th gear, rev up, engine brake, rev up....etc, very enjoyable.

 

Now, whoever did this should be ashamed!!!



What an absolute shocking group, did they put the scope on backwards or something?



On a more serious note;
This amounts to gross negligence and stupidity on behalf of the FAC ( Firearms certificate) holder, and he/she deserves revocation.

 

Here's the sign in question.
What a cracking bit of weather we're having here.

 

The road just goes on and on, the traffic experienced, all x5 cars, is very light.

 

So last night I defied the laws of physics
I managed to get a 70cl bottle of Midori into a 600ml flask

No, only joking



But how about this for 'a-pair-of-teeth'?



Aperitif, get it

 

I nice steady start to the day, I'm in no rush.
a hearty full breakfast from the hotel and I'm on my way.
Today is noticeably cooler than previously, although still showing 15.5C on the dash and only light winds.



A clue to my destination;
Something in the waters.

No, not Loch Ness

 

I think they're taking the piss! It's a shewee!!

 

Right, so Syre is as far north as I'm going, and all of today's interest is now south.
A quick u turn, and look at this beauty on my left.



You know when you ride past something such as this and you're magnetically drawn in to walk across it?



Well it's certainly boingy in the middle said Zebedee ....

But look at the size of those timbers?
I'm a size 9 glove for scale.

 

I feel like a pirate walking the plank



It hasn't done that for a while, and suddenly the file is too large hence the screenshot.

 

So this was 11 months ago ......



And this is today .......



Same spot, same me, but now on my other Triumph.
I feel so lucky to own multiple bikes that I can just pick and choose, as the mood fits.

 

Double post...... so here's an alternative picture.

 

I was supposedly stopping for tea and something here but it's only closed Monday...... and today

Oh well, I suppose I'll just push on to @JackWS recommendation

 

Where am I?



Absolutely glorious, the temperature has picked up and I'm so glad I put this long sleeved thermal top on
I'm not sure the patrons would want to eat their dinners with me naked on the front row
So I'll have to sweat it out.

 

Yes of course, I'm here.

 

Excellent recommendation @JackWS with a glance at the menu, and the smell is wonderful.

What would you pick?

 

Scotland really is a wonderful place eh!
I've been twice this year and wouldn't rule out another trip!

 

you are where we were last month. A very good coffee and cake stop.

 

Don't forget though @Dawsy ....
It's imperative when behind enemy lines ( Hadrians wall), to keep your nutrition right and your protein up for any unforeseen encounters
Not sure which gender I'm thinking is the worse there
..... only kidding

 

Yep, I was sat where the guy in the horizontal stripe top is stood.

 

Absolutely! That goes without saying
