Hi everyone,

I'm new to HU, and would just like to say what a wonderful site, i hope this post is in the correct place.

Me and a friend have been discussing taking a trip up to Scotland, we will be restricted to A and B roads (due to both of us still being on 'L' Plates), even talking about the trip gets us excited. We are planning to ride this year (2015) during the great British summer. Leaving from Essex, London riding along the east coast up to Scotland. We are currently looking at Castletown (As we wish to take the trip to the north coast) and then returning down the west coast stopping off at Loch ness, the lake district and passing though wales, north to south before heading back into England and down to somerset and then heading home (Essex).

I own a 2014 YBR 125 - the standard edition (not the custom)
While my friend is deciding whether to take the
HONDA MSX 125
HONDA CBF 125

We have planned a rough route on Google which states the total trip is around 1715 Miles :O. We are planning to do the trip within 8 to 10 days, averaging around the 200 miles per day mark, is this ok for a 125cc?

As this would be my first long distance trip any advice would be much appreciated, including how to prepare and plan etc. anything a novice might need to know, could have missed out on.

It obviously not as easy as plan your route and go.... or isit? -
We are still debating whether to stay in BB's or Camp or a mixture of both?
What equipment would we need to take?
Can anyone recommend any good stops along the way?

please people don't hesitate to give your input, any advice is good advice... most of the time, any recommendations for motorcycle gear, locations, roads etc. we are in the planning stages so making worthwhile amendments is no big deal.

Also if your from around the London area and fancy joining us on the trip give me a shout.

Thank You for taking the time to read
