Yeh the Isle of Rassay in the back ground, with the cuillin hills on Skye behind that!..

Cullen to day, nice day for a bimble along the east coast for a change..

Over the far side of the loch, pretty much in line with the bike's headlight is a submarine cruising along on the surface

Medway estuary opposite Thamesport today.

Loch Ness Monster

I rode almost 400 miles for that joke

Admit it, you took the van didn't ya? That bike is far too clean to have done all of those miles.

Seriously though, looks like a top trip.

Love that road. That whole area from the Kyle to applecross is an underwater testing area for subs and torpedos. There’s a building on the left as you leave applecross which is the northern point of the testing range,

Directly above the headlight, on the far side of the water?

Yes, this was taken a couple of hundred metres before that building

That's it. Young eyes, not like skub

Good ride out today , Woodhead Pass , Strines, Hathersage, Bakewell, than a stop at Wetton Mill for dinner.
Then on to Warslow ,Cat n Fiddle, and back home via my Brothers to see his new puppy.

Brought the 125 home from my shed, which helpfully is about 20 miles from where I live now. Of course the sun was splitting the stones when I left home and pissing when I got to the shed. Great fun riding the wee thing though....

Here's a thread full of lovely photos, and then I come along with my poorly composed photo taken facing into the sun.

Anyway, from yesterday, a trip to Chew Valley Lake with the wife and kids, to meet up with some fellow motorbiking friends for the first time this year and share fish and chips

Locked up in the compound at work.

We need an in depth owner's critique.

Today I took the new to me Gladius out for a run to Loch Earn. Here we are just at dusk and the Loch was all quiet.

Well, the Gladius is great fun, very tractable and flickable! I have never had a Suzuki before, but now I understand why people speak so highly of their gearboxes. This is so smooth - change down from second whilst you're still moving and you get first; change down from second when you're stopped and you get neutral - brilliant! I've plenty more to learn and its great fun so far!
On the way back from the Loch I was almost brought to a halt by a red deer hind who was standing right on the verge looking as if she was going to cross the road. Fortunately I spotted her in good time and I was down to 10mph before she changed her mind and jumped back into the trees. I will always give way in these circumstances! (perhaps she thought the same - a Suzuki Gladius is a bit big to argue with!) There is talk in these parts of Lynx being reintroduced to the wild in the woods round Aberfoyle. Well that would be interesting - not only do you have to look out for the deer, but also for what might be coming after them!

I'm really not sure why the Gladius is ignored by so many riders... It's a cracking thing i bet.
