Finding myself out of work, I'm making the most of it and my friend Steve and I headed oooop north to Scotland for a wee bit o touring last week. I took the Monster and Steve was on his newly aquired Royal Enfield. Bit of an odd couple.
Tedious motorway travel is dispatched comfortably in the Chevy
We drove up to Edinburgh, dumped the van and headed west after lunch on Monday. The monster's battery was a bit flat from non-use and had to be jump-started. Steve slaps me on the back and says: "One - nil to the Enfield!".
First rest stop on the shores of Loch Lomond
Once past Stirling, there is little traffic and fantastic sweeping A roads through beautiful scenery... and some sunshine. The way riding is supposed to be.

Boats at Inverary harbour on the shores of Loch Fyne
We got to the village Ardrishaig just south of Lochgilphead and found the last two rooms at the Grey Gull Inn for the night. A good day on the road!
