3 men, 2 bikes an STI support vehicle and 1 dream but that’s another story and really not publishable on here

Yes Ewan, Charlie and their support teams have done the Long way round, and the Long way Down, so we intrepid WYIOC’ers made the usual meticulous plans, and the journey was born.
(not too much interest on the initial thread understandably with the busy show season)

Short way up.


29th August 2008 –

The team:- Ewan Mc’Shorty, Charlie the pole Ward and Mr. Jock Strap (in support)

The transport:- Varadero 1000, VRF800 and an STI8.

The plan, to travel up to Scotland passing Glasgow, then pushing further north past loch Lomand, to our first overnight stop.
The first part of this epic ok ok (short in comparison) journey around 300miles.

After a well deserved rest, a couple of the local establishments finest and a night tucked up under the stars, we will travel around the mountains and lochs of Scotland. Soaking in the scenery and exploring one another’s




Limits of adhesion, on the finest roads Scotland has to offer.







Good Times.


Updates and pics to follow:-

 

Pictures, music, nefarious activities and some compromising positions are mandatory......

 

Believe me, those boys will give
the Highland Fling a whole new meaning

 

Got a pile of stuff to get through today, so just some pics from me for now...























And my new favourite piccy...

 

Just like to say, thanks guys... what a top & epic journey and laugh, my cheeks were aching in my lid whilst riding we laughed so much... just how good are those roads... I post my pics when i get ma gear from the support vehicle... oh and I'm sure the old l;ady from the B&B 2 though we were gay due to the odd Mick comment...

 

Butter *****?

 

Epic, Huge, fantastic, one of those road trips that goes down as historic, quite possibly.

Great mates great location, fantastic roads and scenery..

you WYIOC'ers know the sort of thing?.. Simply

Good Times

Thanks you 2 for being you 2.

more to come, but need to add some adult filtering to them

 

Bring on October

 

Nice pictures lads nice roads up there especially round Loch Lomond and oban. Wants next then short way down..

 

I'm not jealous.........................

Well maybe a little, great pics, enjoy yourselves

 

We were gonna change the name to Wrong Way Down, but the t-shirts were already in production.

Lessons learned?

Well, if it rains bikers get wet. And it did, ALL the way home for some 450+ miles.

If it rains, Scooby owners stay dry until bikers who left their gloves in the Scoob decide they want them.

McLattes taste even better when you're soaked to the bone

Kyle of Lochalsh to Wakefield is do-able in one day

...but there's **** all to do in the Kyle of Lochalsh

Next time, we're going over the bridge to Skye

 

Looks like you had a great time

I'm in for the next one, long as I get a licence to ride what I bought Saturday

 

Thanks for keeping me cheered with the MMS's... How jealous am I? A lot. That's how much.

But hey ho, Micks **** looks better each time I accidentally open that text....

 

Accidentally? Yeah, right

Daren't post THAT pic though Al. It's like a small supernova in the NW corner of Scotland.

In fact, it's that combined with a big black hole. Rare indeed

 

Looks like you had some great fun.. Wish i could have been there in scoob or bike...

Did you two not have a wet suit..?? I recomand a rucker all in one with mittens and boot covers 100% Dry.... Only got 1820 miles on mine but can ride it now
Glad you had a great time great pic's.

Dave..

 

Top pics guys! I'm pretty envious but after 4 hours on the boneshaker yesterday in the leathers not sure I'd manage a trip of those proportions. Still, took in some roads and sights from WYIOC adventures of yesteryear









Did a stretch between Grassington and Pateley bridge I'd not done before - absolutely stunning

Simon - I can't believe you've bought what I heard you were buying before you've passed your test. Very, very nice though mate. Get yourself passed and get out there

 

I am taking offers on the uncensored version

 

Nice pics Simon I was thinking of sending you a pm, maybe you can make the next one in

 

If there's an excuse to get my **** out then I'm always up for it

 

We got that one too, a tad radical!

Great pics, looked ace, jealous now

 

I recognise that ar*e - was last seen changing a tyre in Switzerland

 

It's a photoshop. "my" head is completely fake.

 

Nar man you can't see it properly because of the sticker

SPILF!!!

tbf, Mick sptted it, but IIRC I named it!

Whatever, comedy moment of the weekend. That and getting mashed in Paddy's bar on Fiday night. Mick and Dazza embark upon an epic 2 mile hike to their b&b, illuminated only by thelight of a mobile phone. Sticky nips over the road and is in bed before you can say *hic*

...though the fight to resist playing on the trampoline was a difficult one.

 

oh what fun

and could this be the next dazza rocket


went and had a chat today negotiations are going well...

 

Will you stop parking cars and motorbikes in front of all that lovely scenery



Looks like I missed another good do, but I ain't riding no bike on the road
