Got a week off work and seeing as the weather was nice it would have been rude not to go out on the bike.
Left home and headed north along the side of Loch Lomond and straight through Crianlarich, Tyndrum on to Glencoe for a stop and stretch of the legs.
Quick fuel up and off round to Oban then back into Inverary for another stop then home via Arrochar. 250 miles.
Excellent day, hope the rest of the week is the same.

Stunning views stug! Pissed it down here

Nice one canny beat firstly a wee week off and secondly a wee run up north

Great pics Stug

I do love those roads, hope it stays drier than the forcast for the Italy trip Enjoy your week off m8

Every morning, the sun is streaming in the windows, and I think "Could have a wee jaunt up to Tyndrum and Inveraray" ................ By the time I get a coffee down my neck - the sky is overcast and the weather forecast says "RAIN"

Hopefully get out in the next few days..............

Any traffic plod around?

Passed a few cop cars but no traffic.
Got a few frights with camper vans sitting in laybys though

Paisley seems busy with them, just seen a woman pass me doing over 40 at bottom of Dykebar Road with the usual trap at the school/bus stop, the old white Merc with private plate and ohh am sorry officer wont happen again didnt work as she was escorted out the car as we passed, sore one

That road to Oban is superb sadly only done it in a car at the moment.

This is the new method Joe.
Reduce the speed limit then sit there catching folk out.
Same in all the surrounding villages, Houston, Brig o Weir, Kilbarchan, Linwood etc
My mate works in Houston post office and told me he has been taking in speeding fines galore.

Licence to print money with the feckers now, I was told when I used to be frequently up the west coast on standby to slow down at all the wee villiages on the way up or down as they sit and try and catch u out, coming back from Lochgilphead into Inveraray had a guy flash his lights heading towards me, I was at 30 anyway but all that could be seen was a yellow arm with a copper hiding behind a wall stcking his arm out trying to catch people....

It is illegal for them to hide. They must be in plain view but they don't .
That's where all the crafty nonsense comes in, sitting round bends, under bridges , behind bushes etc.
the law is different down south I think.

I thought it was Illegal as well but generally they are in view, they will no doubt target the west coast over a period of time over the next wee while, just need to keep the wits about us lol

Done the run up to Oban last year with a few mates. Great roads and scenery.
