Re: Big tanks

I have done just over 6000 miles in 14 days on standard tanks. Europe and North Africa on a VFR800. Was fine.

Re: Last minute trip to Scotland.

Just back from Applecross. Went via Glasgow, Glencoe, Fort William.

Extreme winds around Glasgow on motorway. Blown across lanes a few times.

Glencoe alright. Bit windy but nothing serious. No snow.

Bit of snow on the pass of the cattle. None on the actual road though.

We are heading to Applecross. If the weather ...
