  1. So I’m back from my first tour on my 1299s, must admit I was apprehensive but, what a machine, sore arse(my fault for not getting a comfort seat) but considering my injuries I’m over the moon how I came back.
    470 mile first day wasn’t as bad as it sounds leaving me more time up there.
    Covered 1204 miles in 3.5 days, 10 islands, 6 causeways,4 ferries in 6 days.bike now touching 10k and looking forward to the next one.
    Love this machine and have a true connection with it now.

  7. To be fair they said it wasn’t really bike compatible when I booked but had a couple of niggles with the bike so just wanted to get home and that was the ferry to the last island where I stay, he did day after bee set off about a bike going over a few weeks ago though :laughing::laughing::laughing:
     
  8. The ferries are calmac and the four is the Hebridean way, ferry crossing from Oban to Barra then over the causeway to battery to the start then all the way uptonatornoway in the Isle of Lewis
     
  9. was apprehensive to be honest but what a bike, learnt a lot mate and will be keeping this one now
