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

) 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

Lunch in Lochy Inn, Nr Ft William

The A87

The entire route

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

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

Bugger! Wrong section!

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

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

)

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
