A sunny Saturday morning, also the 1st of June (So officially Summertime), so another run on the bike. This time I thought i'd go up to "the rest and be thankful". The route I would take, took me up by Loch Lomond and cut across to Garelochhead on the Haul Road (A817). The road takes... Continue Reading →

Heading over the Erskine Bridge (as most journeys do) through Dumbarton and onto Helensburgh, this takes you on to the A814, a... Continue Reading →
When on your on your travels, it's nice to book into a b'n'b, and live the life of luxury, but this can be on the expensive side, especially in the height of the summer months. So camping is the other alternative, and choosing the right tent is important. A solo biker would be better with a two... Continue Reading →
Bike styling has changed over the decades, some manufacturers go to town and create something that other companies copy, but sometimes certain styles don't catch on. Some of these crazy styled bikes can end up having a small cult following due to their strange looks, but some are just so different they are just plain... Continue Reading →
