Went up to Scotland last week for 4 days with my mate on his 900 triple. Mainly dry with the odd downpour!

It was my first long ride on the TDM since i bought it and she never missed a beat!

This is the route we took, 1000 miles exactly from my house,https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30083317

 

And some photo's from the trip.

 The route may take a few minutes to load as its a bit large, but it should work ok.

Nice route (as you say takes a bit to load) my trip went further west over to Applecross and hugged the west coast as much as possible all the way up to Durness where i turned around and did it twice more Smile
