Right, well as the euro trip had to be postponed and shorted due to 'unforseen circumstances' it was decided a practice trip to John O' Groats and back would be a good idea.
So, after very nearly writing my bike off two weeks in advance of the leaving day and throwing a new fairing on the night before we left all was good to go :niceone:
I'm not really much of a story teller so i think i'll let the pictures so the talking.

:lol::lol::lol: (lived in Scotland myself for 20 years) Ahhh midgees, the toothless piranha of the sky... I gave up riding in Winter after season 2... tearing a bike down over the winter with no shed and an irate wife just didn't seem to work for me for some reason... but really god to see pics of the old country again...

It's a stunningly beautiful place.

I was practising tonight ,,,I didn't realise , 26 bucks a bottle , for a 12 year old single malt
Sod beer , this stuff is cheaper than water ( almost ) and considerably less than where i have been drinking of late
the last bar bill was 17 000 yen for few bits of meat on a stick and 2 beers
I am off to bed now after drowning in a sea of single malt
thank ,,,,, I am self employed
