Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

Had a lovely run up to Glencoe with a couple of mates, stopped for lunch at the Clachaig, then home along the loch laggan Rd to Dalwhinnie then cut off at Calvine to take the back road to Pitlochry and home via the Moulin Moor

Some favourite roads there, Dougie!

 

sure was, it's one of my favourite loops

 

Just beautiful as always @Dougie D!

 

Glen Coe, Loch Laggan... bikers bliss!

 

Loch Laggan, Ardvekie House, Monarch of the glen...

 

Commute in the lovely sunshine again for me today .

 

Yep, same here!

 

Which Triumph today?

 

The Speed triple... I might have broken the speed limit...

 

My beautiful tiger is finally back home where she belongs!



Now I’ve got to go ride her as she deserves…

Back later

 

Very risky in Holland, I know from experience….

 

On my daily commute I have a good idea of where the piggies might be lurking with their laser guns...

 

@Dougie D: Great pictures and views!!!

 

Damn you! I was planning a daytrip nearer home, but you woke up the call of The Highlands in me and you've just cost me an eyewateringly large amount of cash I can't afford booking 5 nights in Scotland from tomorrow! (It takes me a day's riding just to get to the low lands.)

 

Excellent choice! You'll enjoy that!

 

A smidge under 100 miles for @Helmut Visor and I today, he rode his Nightstorm so it was a Triumph - only expedition.

We set out fairly early in this beautiful weather (I am a very early bird, Helmut not at all so my preference definitely won out today) with hardly any traffic on the roads and did a beautiful route through Herefordshire, into Wales on the A44, turned off for Builth Wells rather than heading up to Crossgates and then at Builth Wells headed towards the A438 to head back to Herefordshire. We then stopped at a bike / car meet at a local venue which we tend to go to every month - it wasn’t as well attended as usual, but I suspect lots of people are away on holiday. We had a coffee, a burger from the BBQ, sought shade in our sweltering bike kit and came home. We didn’t stop until the car / bike meet so no scenic photos but it was about as perfect a ride as you can get and I am trying to sell the early starts to @Helmut as by the time we were headed home the roads were busy and packed with enough variety of bad drivers to get your bingo dabber? dibber? (I have no idea) busy to get your Hazards Bingo card looking healthy .

The road to Builth Wells off the A44 is not one I had done before - the A481 - and it was brilliant; it dropped away downhill straight away with a tight bend and had twists and turns, plenty of straight bits and above all gorgeous scenery. Absolutely perfect. Home to enjoy a cider and the garden .

In lieu of photos, I have included part of the route (possibly marginally better than nothing)…

 

Ha Ha nice one, the weathers pretty good for most of Scotland next week, whereabouts are you thinking off?

 

I'm near Ayr now (about as far as I want to go in a day) then have 3 nights near Oban; reversing things to get home. Off to get the ferry to Dunoon soon and explore the places I've not been before (west past loch Tarsan then up to go around loch Awe and by lock Avich to go up the coast to Oban.

 

Yesterday, after 9 hours and 350 miles, I got to relax on the beach
