so we go anticlockwise on the NC500 route taking in a bit extra. Mike is complaining about the milage so I start telling him its 5 hours travelling etc which does the trick A9 was f*&cking boring say hello and goodbye to IOM Bernie first stop Tain and a 60's cafe called the sunflowers cafe, belting out summer 60's chunes just past Tain there was a place called Morangie, not sure why Mike was dying to stop there Next stop was Tommy's fave place, Ardgay we then travelled off the beaten path along the A836 via Bonar Bridge. It was what we would deem a C class road, this went on for miles on single tracks with passing places. Suddenly we came upon an Inn in the middle of nowhere, Crask Inn this was built in 1800's for drovers. it has its own water supply (and filters) with a generator (wondered why it was so dim with the lights) we had a great chat with Denise the landlords wife. the landlord was also a minister and had a church on the premesis. this was the view from Crask inn and pretty much for a few hours riding the natives get in the way too https://i.imgur.com/XN57vNT.gif Kinbrace, where mike went for a pee and suddenly loads of traffic appeared then back onto the A9 and an afternoon tea stop at Berridale i had a massive eton mess cake (which I ate all of it) then up to Wick and John O Groats then on to Mey in Thurso and the Castle Hotel I had braised feathersteak mmmm Our hosts Mike from Liverpool, Mike and ? from east europe

I've been ill last few days.

I wanted to see the Bon Scott Statue and it was only 20 miles from Perth was the day before his birthday too stopped off at Glenshee for afternoon tea Droopy got his photo took top of the world here, very impressive Braemar castle somewhere, not sure , but it looked amazing stopped off for more refreshment and Droopy gets all the attention Ruthven Barracks, Seat of somewhere another brew stop commando memorial Caladonian canal, fort Augustus Loch Ness road to Lockinewe Tommy puts on his Brut 33

it all started at 4am, or rather 4:10 as Tommy and Mike were late, so amuse myself whilst waiting took a photo we went the long way to Scotland taking in Lancs and Yorks this is at Alston afternoon tea at Blueberry's stop for fuel just past Keilder Droopy chats up the women (Denise) in the garage We made it wthout incident, unless you call a little spill on gravel for Tommy I set off across to Scotland first waving at a couple of German bikers and wait for the guys, and waited.......and waited.... Tommy only goes and falls off again, luckily just setting off and giving the Germans a fright ? off to the BSB at Knockhill and sample the hospitality of Tyco BMW round the night off with some Scran next to the hotel at Perth

just go on a speed awareness course if offered, no points then and you don't have to tell your insurance. usually takes a few weeks depending on how fast you were going

went back to the old pump. I did get a new one and that did the same thing, the points jammed. I recon its the heat doing it. Anyway found the stator wires smoking today to the multiconnector, ordered new spade connectors and will cut down to new wire. must been resistance there

aye, I'm too busy also. brought the cases down form the loft and thinking about packing them.. Bike is sorted now too but not had much of a shakedown only 50 miles or so.

unfortunately not, it was all over the local facebook pages though
