Leaving the idyllic harbour town of Tarbert, I continue towards the larger port town of Oban, and where I'll be catching the ferry to Mull the next day.
Along the way I sample some superb twisty, smooth and fast tarmac, as well as my fair share of traffic. Fortunately I'm riding a BMW R1200GS, with an engine famed for it's low-down pull . . .

At first, I wasn't sure I was going to like the motorcycle videos because of the camera's ability, or lack thereof, to catch the scenery. What you're doing is great. Front visuals of the winding road landmarks with back shots of scenery have kept my attention. The commentary is always brilliant. Cheers.

We just finished a tour of Scotland, not as comprehensive as yours, we turned down the car hire company SUV upgrade , kept the little Hyundai I-20 and stayed hotels/Airbnb, but watching this has us back there. The small car turned out to be a good decision based on some of the situations we found ourselves in! Had never gone north of Loch Lomond before. Totally agree with comment about Scotland having it all in terms of scenery types. The most memorable drive was Tongue to Lairg on A836. Basically 50 miles on a golf cart size track! Fantastic scenery

Light changes and she takes off, and from behind my van, there appeared a very big man on a very big bike, with a bambino clinging to his back, and behind him another bike with a young adult.

Great video Kevin! It is aggravating when the satnav sends you off on an unnecessary excursion.

Another stunning video Kevin . thanks for taking the time to upload it.. It's a reminder to the times I and a few friends spent weeks exploring the Scottish Highlands on our motorbikes.. Unfortunately those days are long gone now.. there is nowhere in the UK that has scenery that comes close to the Scottish Highlands.. Sadly if they push ahead with the green energy agenda.most of this wonderful scenery will disappear .. To be replaced with wind turbines and electricity pylons... Anyway Kevin keep your self safe and well mate.. watch out for the idiots that think that they don't have to stop at road junctions...

Hi Wayne. Sadly the windmills became quite common place on several islands later on this journey.

I haven ever driven a full size motor coach. I'm sure they are a handful let alone on those narrow paths. Surprised they are allowed actually. Tourism money talks. Luckily it wasn't even further over on you. May not have even known you were there even with lights on. I have driven a Semi with a full size excavator with a low boy on Michigan's icy and hilly dirt roads in late Fall. Challenging at times. When committed feed her the coal, which you did Made it!

serious ride this time, Kevin!!! I continue to be impressed by the charming countryside as you motor along...one question I had: are you not concerned by possible theft? I noticed that when you shop at the supermarket you seem to leave the bike with all your gear unattended...is it possible for you to maintain a line of sight constantly on your motorcycle, or do you have security measures that are not apparent? I'm looking forward to the next video of your journey!!
