Love the Scottish scenery, two years ago I managed to persuade a group of friends to jump on our motorcycles and spend a week up there. I could not believe how dramatic and endless the scenery was, I had a cam on my bike and took hours of footage and still go and watch it occasionally to remind myself that I didn't dream it.
Thanks, Tiger and Wibb for the boost from positive comments.. and the Zombie Apocalypse observation. That was spot on...! As for 'Easy- Riding' round here yep, you could spend a lifetime exploring the Highlands, and always find another special view somewhere...as long as it's not a tree coming to meet you
We get lots of bikers here in Summer, often from Germany and the Netherlands;
but as beautiful and inviting as the remoter roads are (and no speed cameras too...
) they can be very dangerous. I once had an old ex-police BMW RR80TR, with full beefy fairing and panniers, but deer are becoming a real problem here, especially during the rutting season and, having had one commit suicide on the bonnet of my Civic a few years back..I'd be reluctant to encounter a randy 3/4 ton red deer with massive antlers on anything sporting two wheels...even the RT. The mess one made of the Civic was very sobering (...though I wasn't actually under the influence of the amber nectar

but they- the Stags- (weirdly) seem to see cars and bikes as potential love rivals; so what they'd make of any vehicle with a long barrel is anybody's guess...

So, yes..I probably could whizz up a credible face for our terrifying teuton...; but it's a question of finding the time. Before the tank bug bit unexpectedly, my main pastime had always been making and recording music. It still is, really...but it's taken a back seat for a while. Also, there are the formerly shared drugdy household, and life-management, chores that fall upon the divorcee..like a vicious and merciless gang
