That's some good stuff, beautiful scenerey as well.

If only the drivers over here were half as courteous.

Beautiful and remote. Looks like you should always start the trip with a full tank, tools, etc ...

Hi All,
Many thanks everyone. I was not sure about adding the "commentary".
Hope it has "translated" well.
The road sign "hazard" in Part 2 was closer than it looks...
( I think the base had moved, so the sign was "overhanging" the road..)
And as for the "gravel"....whooa - check underwear..

..not really

Nice Clip, would like to do that too, next time I'm over. What kind of yamaha was that? Sounded like a boxer. How fast did you get to?

That's a great vid. I want to go to Scotland more than ever now. Thanks!

An acquaintance on another list suggested a piece of sticky tape
(scotch tape? )

over the microphone air inlet will block the wind
rattle while still allowing viewers to hear the motor and other sounds.
I've seen before and after videos that seem to show a great improvement.
Wish I had a bike camera to try it out... actually, just wish I had one.

Hi All,
Many, many thanks one and all.
What bike, a TeDiuM.....270 degree crank, hence "boxer" sound.
How fast....err hit 5th a lot of the time....

Probably about the perfect bike for the roads up there, in Bonny Scotland.
Even tho it pains me to say that...

slip, when i make it to the uk you'll have to show me around. a good riding buddy just returned from a week long tour exploring tuscany on a motorbike. now he wants us to take a trip together next year (couldn't swing it this year) overseas. looks like a good place to start.

Hi Hooligan,
looking forward to it already. That's definately AOK for me.

( Could we squeeze in a track day as well - C would be up for that, I dare say..) :cool
That said, "just" a good tour is great by me. :cool
(Should make some interesting You Tube footage..)

BUT, I will get some Rag pudding in for you to eat..
