The Isle of Skye, and the Rain Begins | The Scottish Road Trip

Day two and three of the Scottish road trip. A lot of rain, hugging the west coast of Scotland, two ferries and onto the Isle of Skye.

    I did a 5000 mile tour of Europe in 2005 and had that much rain I couldn’t believe it especially in the mountains. What it did was to make me a much more confident rain rider. I actually really enjoyed it and was able to lean like I did in the dry with complete confidence. Something I have lost again. I actually quite like the rain and being at one with the elements. Beautiful thankyu

    I hope the American rider is okay and makes a speedy recovery. So glad the weather brightened up, Skye is beautiful as is the whole of the west coast, I see this kind of scenery daily as I live on Isle of Lewis. It’s a little piece of paradise, really enjoying your vlogs and your way with words is poetic….and yes we Scot’s have a great sense of humour but dry unlike the weather the majority of the time. Safe travels.

    What a sublime video! It sort of makes our planned-for lives in 15 minutes cities appear a tad----limitting. Surely, for the human spirit to thrive, the road ahead must hold the promise of vast expanses, and of unexpected twists and turns; and we, to be truly alive, must be free to explore it in whatever direction we please.

    Another great vid! So close to the Isle of Harris! Hope you make it across some day. We have an annual charity bike rally up in the Isle of Lewis and Harris called the Midge Biter Rally (usually mid June) and we have around 120 bikes from as far as Germany come over for it. Stornoway is closed for the bikes to do a Police Escorted lap of the town and then we ride out to a cafe on the other end of the islands for refreshments and then ride back to Stornoway, and it’s finished off with a night of live music and drinks. It’s a lottery on the weather but that’s part of the fun and we got lucky this year, and a great weekend is always had by all! Midges here are bad but the Skye midges are ferocious! Enjoy your trip! Maybe see you at the Midge Biter Rally some time!

It's like that interceptor is at home in both places. I'm glad this is the bike I chose.
