Mr Wolf and Rusty head to The Highlands .....

[O.C.]

Cool, Time Travel! (Note time posted and time claimed)
Rusty, don't be naughty now or we may have to withdraw forum privileges. 

Its not possible to travel that far West in Scotland that you actually move into a different time zone is it  ??

Well yet again it's the end of another busy day ... 261 of Her Majesties finest miles heading south from Loch Ness to Portpatrick.. It's been a really decent day on the weather front ,warmish but dry and sunny which has made up for the last 48 hrs !
There have been a lot of bikes heading North of all shapes and sizes and yet I haven't seen ANY Gtr's !
I am writing this soon after 10 in the evening ... It's still light outside and Steve went to bed ages ago ! This is truly a lovely lovely setting. Once again just a couple of photos .... Hope you are all well.



And this was the each about 25 miles North of here ... As you can see fine sand and almost deserted.

Boomer,

The clock on this forum is set for GMT, so that probably explains it.

I think only the ZZR is capable of going fast enough to beat time itself... 

[Boomer]

He's right ya know, the Clock on the Forum is set to GMT-1 so this post is added at 11:50 yet the forum will show it at 09:50.
So, Rusty was not lying about the time,..... muchos apologias Rusty. I owe you a beer,....
Actually Asif owes you a beer for not setting the clock correctly. 

[Rusty]

Well thank you Chaps for clarifying the time !!!!!! 
I am back in Sunny Sussex, a long way from Isle of Skye and our recent adventures.
7 days for me and 1,886 miles .... £160 in fuel and a bit more for board and scoff !
It was great and after I have come down to earth and got on with the jobs that have magically appeared on my list for when I return ( finish my daughters bedroom decorating ! ) I shall crack on with posting the photos and doing a decent write up ..
The Gtr was just fantastic and ate up all those miles with ease .. Even the long ride home today .. 4 hrs about, was just made so easy by this great bike ,so well done Mr Kawasaki !
I believe Steve will beat me to the write up ..... Stand by !

Photos added to my original post on page 1. Plenty more in circulation but they are for Rusty to post. I can only echo what Rusty has said, the GTR was brilliant, who needs a BMW GS 1200 for a trip like this eh? 

[O.C.]

Excellent pics Steve, and the 'arty' ones are great too.

the starter of fish soup that you had would have been Cullen Skink , not Cullen Skiven ...very tasty it is too 

Did your friendly little dog relieve itself on your GTR Steve, if it did it's probably because your bike isn't GREEN   

[Rusty]

OC ... You are so psychic ....that is exactly what happened and its exactly what I said to Steve !

Rusty, they say that "great minds think alike" apparently though it's also true that "fools seldom differ"   

[Rusty]

Ok ... So here we go with a few of my pics. ... Forgive me if there are a few repeats but I have just chosen a few ...
Thanks to Steve's thorough write up there is little more, content wise to add to these but I can explain if needed as we go along ! So ...



A bit arty but this I think was taken on the way back ... There is sunshine to prove it ! It ended to be drawn to taking photos of the bike dressed in GREEN !



This gem was taken on The Isle of Skye, just by the distillery, where I would like to add that I purchased my FIRST bottle of Scotch .. Just getting into Whiskey at my old age ! The water was crystal clear but really so cold ....



Poor old Steve ... At the end of a wet day he was tired and needed his bed ... I was off taking photos and found him asleep at his bike .. Could. Have left him there ... No one would have bothered him !



Now Steve doesn't drink tea or coffee .... Took me 6 days to remember this fact but he does like his hot chocolate !

Simple ... This is on the way round Glencoe.



Yours truly ... This was about 30miles from Portpatrick on a very nice sunny but windy day



I thought this was Geoffs new Verysys until Steve pointed out that it would be too quick for the old boy.



Now by this point Steve was getting a bit upset at the number of photos being taken of the green bike, but to be fair there were a lot of people showing interest in my bike and not even noticing the " magnesium" thing that was close by ...... So he was being really childish and trying to stop the inevitable !!

Eilean Donan Castle ... Very old and amazingly preserved .. Bit like someone else on this forum.

On a long long road ... Time to stretch ones legs ....

And lastly ... What OC and I have been chuckling about ... Steve and I having a romantic breakfast for 2 at Portpatrick on our last day ...  2 lovely dogs go bye, one of which Steve saw earlier ... He points them out to me as one is a Border Collie .. My favourite ... And then this lovely old dog takes a sniff at Steve back wheel, cocks his leg and empties his bladder all over Steve's back wheel .... Did I laugh ? No not much ... Nearly bloody choked on my black puddin !!!



That my dear friends is about it .. There are more but it's late and I hope that's enough to keep you amused ... We certainly were.

[Rusty]

Ps .... Sorry these pictures seem a little large ... Don't know what's going on !

[100milesaway]

That invalid carriage thing would go pretty well around the twisty bumpy terrain of the Dales, yes I can picture it now hanging over the side to get more traction, Pink armbands flapping in the breeze 

[Lonewolf]

Nigel, oh how those pictures made me laugh! 

Size wise, they seem fine to me.

[Rusty]

Geoff ... 

Steve .. yes.. fine on the big PC just look a bit big on the iPad ... the boat pics I took with your Nikon have come up a treat !

[Lonewolf]

Well of course they did....it's a NIKON.
