2x BMW's & 16 days in the Scotisch Highlands
hi guys,
I only just joined this forum but I am not new to biking or other webforums...
My wife Kate and I just completed a 16 day tour round the Highland in Scotland.
It was Kate's first trip as she passed her test last year.
the complete ride report and a (sorry large) selection of photos is on my website under:
http://www.freewebs.com/bmwrideruk/2...ndlarskate.htm
also feel free to look at the other trips I have done so far...
have fun, but be warned it a lot of pics....
thx Lars

Enjoyed you tour photos of Scotland.

no worries for borrowing the picture...i am glad you like it.
yes, the ride was great and i do try and take decent photos...doesn't work all the time but i am still learning...
Digital SLR's are the way forward...
Thanks for the praise.
Lars

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
