You must have done a few miles to get up as far up as you did, and ridden some fantastic roads.l’m definitely going back next year, I only got as far as Fort William on my trip a few weeks ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 The ride up was in heavy rain, then I pitched my tent in the dry, which was opposite to what the forecast had said. I bailed out to friends in Inverness, but the big storm never really materialised, again contrary to the forecast. I still got three days good riding and 9 tags. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Throttled, must admit thought I had bumped into you at Tarvie service's on Tuesday 12th, there was a guy on a green Kawasaki, but it was a Z1000sx, we were based in Aviemore for 11 nights, weather stayed pretty good, only 1 morning's ride down to the Cluanie Inn did it rain. Run up to the top at Durness was fun with the motorhomes!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgrump Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 At the beginning of the year I asked @Hoggs, to include the AA boxes I missed last year, so we thought we better get off our arses and complete them, so 1 today on a 3 day trip to Wales, and probably last run of the year . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway @Hoggs, thank you for another excellent year of getting out and having fun!!!!! Hopefully you will find time to put together another one for next year, and I look forward to the 31st December. But I think we are done for this year, can't see us using the bike much now until next year 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
