  6. We love them because they can hate the poms for us when we're not there to do so. Can always rely on a Scot to carry out that brave and unrelenting act, but you can't get them to vote that way, it may be their only weakness. By the way, my Scottish wife is presently sitting in a snow bound living room in the Scottish Highlands nursing one of my Mutistradas so it doesn't get lonely.
     
  7. hate is such a strong word. :Angelic::smile:.
    cairngorms?
     
  8. Near Dingwall, home of the mighty Staggies
     
  9. cool cool, ross county? they WHERE doing so well.my parts delivery guy is a fan, always looking miserable these days.
    you will know glen affric and ullipool roads then. up that way a lot. just south of the ballachoolish bridge for me.
    no real snow yet.
     
  10. Yep, seems since they were upgraded that they couldn't win a rigged raffle.

    The roads in the highlands are brilliant, anywhere towards the west coast is much much better than most of Australia's best, but the Oxley Highway from Wauchope to Walcha has to be ridden to be believed, 168Km and 350+ hairpins and sweepers climbing a mountain range from near sea level. A real test of Ducati and pilot.

  11. I imagine riding the highlands in winter would look something like this. Maverick Vinales, Jack Miller and Nikki Ajo in Finland today (our time)
