Fat Man, Tiny Bike, Hits the NC500 !

NC500 on a YB100cc Day 8 - First I must apologise for the length of this video - I try to keep them below half an hour but when there are so many beautiful things to see thats difficult. Even now I needed to "fast forward" riding through a beautiful valley but for those who want to see it in real time, I will publish the ride through the calley again in a few days.

Today I had company again, this time for the whole of my ride to Applecross on the Coast Road. Craig met me at the hotel in Ullapool - the reason I look the way I do and he looks the way he does has, I am sure, some relation to the breakfast I had while he drank coffee!
We set off together - Craig was riding his 1964 Ariel 250cc and soon after we turned right off the main road, we met up with John on his specially imported Honda CT125.
Craig rode with us to his home for a coffee and he showed his eclectic collection of bikes - very interesting to hear of his life crofting and how the willing and able are expected to turn their hand to anything if needed.
After parting with Craig, John and I rode on around Gruinard Bay - beautiful coastline, stopping for a bite of lunch in the Gairloch community centre.
Heading on towards Applecross, we traversed the beautiful valley between Kinlochewe to Torridon where we stopped for a cuppa.
The final section of this tour was to take the breathtakingly beautiful coastal road to Applecross where I parted company with John - what a guy to have spent all day with me? Amazing.
Had a nice evening in the Applecross Inn, spoke to lots of people and then....BANG - a huge thunderstorm!
What a day.....!
