A wee run to Ullapool and back

Took a run up to Ullapool yesterday, and back today...........

It seems like the R-1 is an easier bike to ride, or maybe it depends upon the speed you are doing?

Anyway, had a good run up, via Crieff, Tyndrum, Glencoe, Ft William, Dornie and Garve. (back the same route)

Stayed in the Arch Inn (a wee bit pricey for single occupancy - £85 :shock: ) but next time would try for the Ladysmith Guest House, which looks good.

Had a cracking run home today - the A87 between Sheil Bridge and Invergarry - is absolutely stunning, with good smooth tarmac, rather than the broken surfaces on some of the roads.

Late lunch on arrival in Ullapool

No photos en-route........... Once the tyres were warm - the roads were too good :D

I don't believe that's your bike Al. There's no rim tape.

Bugger! Wrong section! :oops:

Maybe someone can shuffle it into the "Ride Reports" section? :?

(I see that my stealth-blue rim-tape is working....... :D )

That is truly a very nice machine.
I cant say I am not jealous.

- and its a BMW so you dont have to ride around with a 250ml bottle of Loctite 2760 in Yer toolkit.

Luckily, when I checked my nuts upon arrival in Ullapool - I discovered that they were still tight :D
