there are a few good campsites, a good one within walking distance of Portree is torvaig, and another at the bottom of glenbrittle which is at the bottom of the black cuillin but there are plenty of good bunkhouses then you dont need to carry as much and they have drying rooms for wet kit (not that it rains much ) youre second picture does look like Sgurr Nan Gillean taken from near Sligachan, another good campsite next to the hotel with a good selection of local ales and a vast selection of whisky and good food.

i was just testing the water as it were, i would not expect to get full price ie £3000+ but i would be looking for about £2750 i certainly wound'nt let it go for £2000, the fairing was complete when removed and sold to a member of the forum so i cant refit it, i have the rear footpegs but as SWMBO does not go on the back i removed them as i think it looks better, there is also a bracket and top box that would go with it and the standard exhaust can and two set of dog bones. if anyone is interested you can get in touch.

I put the bike on the centre stand and use a ratchet strap attached to the bars to lift the front, i have alo lifted a bike completely off the ground this way with another strap on the rear subframe.

I was looking at them as they do nice plain looking trousers as i dont like the power ranger look, and have no intention of getting my knee down, intentionally anyway.

went for a wee run on Sunday, northbound towards Stirling and cut across to Aberfoyle for a burger and tea, over the dukes pass through Crianlarich to Tyndrum for petrol, the green wellie was heaving with bikes, and on up through Glencoe to the Clachaig for a shandy, returned back through Crianlarich, lomond side, Dumbarton and home, 300dry miles a good day out
