Wedding Anniversary meal

We headed over to the West Coast for dinner at Achiltibuie, and a grand adventure on the bikes, even the sun shone eventually.
Main course ... thanfully there were six courses
Apart from a short hold up on the way home the journey was great. Hold up was due to a lorry failing to negotiate a sharp bend .... but he took home the sign as a souvenir.
Weather was super, on the whole.

No one upset the chef .... it was a
froth apparently, but Jenny was happy with her adventure.

Looks like a cracking trip - and Jenny's Divvy looks quite funky too.
Anniversary congrats all round.
(can't believe it was 18 years for us this year).

Wow talk about in the middle of nowhere.
I've been up to Ullapool a few times, but never on the bike.
Bet the ride across country is a bit lively?!
Cheers and congrats to you both

Yamaha have done a good job on the styling of that Diversion
(not too sure about that dinner course, mind
Looks a bit like the result of my cat eating too much......
)
I love Ullapool as a weekend destination - it has a bit of a buzz about it.
There's a good GS road north off the Achiltibuie road - through the Inverpolly nature reserve - to Lochinver.
Take your credit card if you visit the Lochinver Larder for anything more than directions

The 600 divvy was a possible choice for my new company bike. Test rode it, but it felt too small for anything other than short haul work.
Ended up with a Honda Crossrunner which is now a week old/1000 miles.
Stonking bike. Does everything easily

I think it looks ok ... def looks better in the flesh.
Went for white .... which seems to get dirty really quickly
