Touring the Scottish Western Isles by BMW R1200GS | Episode 2 | The Isle of Mull: With the summer riding season is in full swing it's time for me to jump on the mighty BMW R1200GS and head off for another biking tour. After the North Coast 500 last year I promised I would return to the fabulous west coast of Scotland to tour the Western Isles...and with glorious weather it certainly didn't disappoint! Grab a brew, settle back and join me for episode 2 of my latest bike tour...

You are one of the reasons, along with Baron Von Grumble, that I’ve got back into bikes at 54 after a 16 year lay off. Got a two year old VFR800F and a 1973 Bonny in my garage. Very happy. Thank you...!

“They tend to travel in clumps!” Now that cracked me up! I’m up in New Hampshire again and got to spend 3 days here for bike week. Sitting in my room watching this series and really enjoying it. Just upgraded to the GoPro Hero 7 Black and loving the quality of it. I had bought the Rylo 360 and had it on the front of my bike for a track day run but it overheated and shut off and I didn’t notice it so I missed getting footage of that. Didn’t know it had overheating issues. So I’ll keep it but film it in the open case now. Had it in the full protection case. So I went to Best Buy and got the GoPro on sale for $329 USD. I so wish I had it on track day. Of well. Lesson learned. Thanks for the videos. Relaxing to watch!

That stretch of western Mull, the Gribun coastline, is so spectacular. Reminds me of a camping trip there 20 yrs ago when our three daughters were under 4, best family holiday we ever had. Started with a day of heavy rain and turned into bright sunshine and warmest location in the uk for 10 days. West coast can't be beat if you have the weather and a breeze to keep the midges away

@Jonwa63 6 жыл бұрын

15.28 I think that cottage glimpsed on the left is the holiday cottage my mother & father in-law used to use, just below the waterfall with the occasional eagle soaring on the clifftop and otters playing on the waters edge.

The adventure continues! Lovely rugged scenery. Been to the highlands, never the islands. I think I’ve lived too long in a city as I don’t think I could cope with that level of remoteness, lovely though it is. I say goodbye to the YS125 today 😥. It’s been a fun 11 months of ownership. 30th June, pick up the 797.

Brings back some happy memories of childhood holidays. Looks great! The bit with the drone was a nice touch, like it. I’ve come down to London with the family for the weekend, popped over to Hyde park and got chatting with one of the security staff who was with his Tiger 1050. You were brought up in conversation, how about that. Me an exile Sunderland lad living in East Yorkshire and him a guy from London, chance meeting and both TMF subscribers. Bringing people together 🙂.
