    Long Way Up

    I will give it a watch.
  2. Forecast not too good tmrw either bob , drier over aviemore way, nice site at Rothiemurchus, camping in the woods, midges almost nil.
  3. Probably need something like a pan European.
  4. I was run over in a petrol station in glencoe by one of the old dears. There was/is a nice campsite in fort augustus not sure if it's open with covid. Red squirrel can be mental with midges.
  5. Although I love it , Highlander is at best a fairly ropey film but the Queen soundtrack lifts it to another level . The haunting Who Wants to Live Forever and the beautiful One Year of Love bring tears and goosebumps just thinking about them . I can't think of another film that has eight songs specially written for it that each stand on their own merits . I get so bored of Martin Scorsese just bunging in chunks of Stones songs etc. That's not a sound track . That's product placement . The farm stead for that bit was filmed on the old Road just over the hill from the waterfall as you drop down into glencoe
  6. If a car is disturbing you your too close, overtaking the disturbing car just puts you at greater risk as said disturbing car will be behind you now and following now that would be disturbing.
  7. That's amazing, fancy having a spare bike in that thing.
  8. There can be only one, say hi to Mr mcleod
  9. Forecast not looking good the/wed.
  10. The inconsistencies are down to the shops, screwifix could be doing the same as toolstation but they choose to make it as awkward as possible and I now avoid if at all possible, toolstation is fine. Same with wickes and bnq, wickes were pretty sorted when they opened and bnq, is still a pain, wickes however shut for a month when it could and probably should have remained open for trade, bnq were open right through with click and collect from carpark when it was bad.
  11. That's you and the wife, thought you would look a bit older.
  12. You want to cut down on the cheese before you go to bed . I think cheese is the least of the problem. I think it would make a great add.
  13. [mention]onesea[/mention] silver linings and all that Been through all of that wouldn't like to do it again, glad your getting time together enjoy it because it won't be 2mins till she has a life of her own.
  14. V stroms/fazer. Get something you like and fits what you want to do, don't worry you can always change it if you get bored. You may want to be looking at 800 rather than 650 territory with your weight it's pretty much like me ridding the 650 with the wife on the back and that certainly takes the edge off it, no disrespect to you or my wife intended Fazer8 was frowned upon when it came out but it's a great commuter do everything bike https://www-motorcyclenews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.motorcyclenews.com/amp/bike-reviews/yamaha/fazer-8/2010/?amp_js_v=a3&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#aoh=15962808314359&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.motorcyclenews.com%2Fbike-reviews%2Fyamaha%2Ffazer-8%2F2010%2F Read more into the owners reviews rather than mcn, they said the fz6 was to docile going slow as it's been tuned for traffic and then to frightening for noobs if you pin it. It's neither.
  15. Find a local place and do a cbt and go from there, if they are good they should answer most of your questions Don't over think it just do it.
  16. Funny, I've just instructed the wife to do just that, except I didn't have to send her the money she already has it
