Enjoyed that.

The last time I went was late Sept in 2013.
We had perfect weather and no midges so it was Scotland at it’s very best.
I was blown away by the scenery up the West Coast and can’t believe I haven’t been back yet.

yes they do ..they are way more comfy than the o/e ones ..i find them just brutal ... theres a few solutions coming out now ..k teck ae doing valve stacks for the o/es but then you need springs and still have no adjus table preload ...... so by the time you have done k tech 260 springs at 90 and a preload adjuter at 200 ...they dont look too bad at 480 as a on does all solution ..i find them pretty acceptable overall the vlaving stack is deffinatly more sympathetic to a comfier ride ..still to soft for full braap off roading ...but ive sacked the idea compleatly taking it off road its just too heavy for me tbo

lovley touring manners i enjoyed the ride

nicked this russ god bless nathan ...... added in glenshee on the way up came back via gourock dunnon ferry .....unless you want to beat yourself to death 5/6 days is best to take

Great video Steve, it must take a fair bit of time and effort to edit something like that.
