Post by mikey_01 »

well the ullapool ABR rally what can i say???? I LOVE IT!
set off early from thurso on thursday morning to head to aultbea just below ullapool with a friend and have a catch up, great roads and veiws there! kiped there the night then met ian of the fourm and road to ullapool, we got there about 11am, there wasnt many people there at that time, but i was very pleased to be here! i had a natter with a few of the lads of the site got to look and sit on my dream bike! yamaha tennere 660! went and set my camp up and sat back to hear the sound of bikes and watch them all rool in and fill the site up! by late afternoon the site was pretty busy i met some really great people! we also hit the pub that night were i got speaking to a few guys all really good crack! but i got speaking to davidac, great bloke top man! i was telling him about my goal to travel and see the world he told me some amazing storys as where he dad been by bike and trian. so dave if your reading this, am starting my job tomorrow and saving up for 6 months and setting off! not a clue where but il run out of road somewhere haha, thanks mate! anyway we all sat and drunk abit me and mule missed the chippy wasnt happy, and went to kip,

the next morning i headed down the coast with daveac irish dave lol james and jim went a bit offroading too was great the GS took a bit of stick tho and with a very low rear road tyre wasnt to good for grip but did ok.

headed back to the campsiteand chilled out there then went back to the pub with mule this time we got a chippy, mule went to bed and i ended up having a few beers with matt, ollie, katie,jim and billy, once again all really good people who just love to travel! well billy loves to go offroad.. haha poor yam dosnt get an easy life! haha, we sat and swaped storys for a while then turned in for the night as we all had to head home apart from jim and billy who went playing again the next day.

sunday came and well i did not want to go home, i walked round speaking to people jim gave me his tent after mine leaked haha so thank you jim! irish david was still asleep after a hard night on the piss! but other than that most were leaving. so i packed my stuff and set off up to durness and back to thurso, few pics to follow. all in all a top weekend and i met some really nice people who just go out there and do it! never mind charly and ewan just go! i am!!! see you all next year! maybe not on the GS tho lol

Good to meet you Mikey and glad you had such a good weekend of it. The Suzuki GS500E is what I passed my test on also, so, fantastic to see one being used on green lanes. :)

The man himself - and a GS that costs less than £10 ;)
