It's official....I am a moron! Being a train lover as well as a bike lover I headed out at 5 this evening to see a possible locomotive clearing our line of snow...needless to say it couldn't get through the snow at Forsinard (30-40mins away by train) and so had to turn back and head south to Inverness, where they're taking heavy duty ploughs back north tomorrow to get through!

And sitting waiting for me in my garage from last year was my 2006 Black KTM 990 Adventure. Every day I was on the 125 I was itching to get on the bigger bike! Doing tests up here requires a long wait...
