Riding my Triumph Bonneville in Scotland...whilst pursuing my love for travel, and good food.

What a fabulous day riding with a couple of coffee stops particularly one making fresh cinnamon doughnuts and hot chocolate, which was very welcome on a day that started with a frisky -1 to 0 degrees. We also came across some gorgeous bikes, particularly a pair of #Royal #Enfield.

Fish 🐠 and chips with the Scottish Café Racers in Anstruther! 🏍️ Probably our last outing of the year, given the nippy temperatures, although the sunshine 😎 was a welcome companion throughout. We followed the Fife Coastal Trail. A lovely day to round off the riding season! 🏍️☀️

When a friend drops by for coffee right after work, you drop everything for a quick spin across the bridge and a loop around Fife! 🗺️👌 #TriumphOfficial #Bonneville #Trident #ClassicBikes #RideScotland

A few picks from an unforgettable riding weekend through countless Italian passes…hardly a straight road, just endless bends and hairpins. I chose a #Ducati #Scrambler and, despite some reservations, it was absolutely the right choice. It handled like a BMX and went like a Tasmanian Devil…Loved it 😎

Rode the #ThreeLochs Forest Drive via #DukesPass in #Stirlingshire. 🌲Stopped at a farm for coffee ☕, where the owner keeps an old #AlfaRomeo Duetto Spider rusting outdoors. Boo😕! By one of the lochs, we came across a beautiful pack of #Tamaskan dogs, looking remarkably like wild wolves! 🐺✨ #Scotland

Question for my fellow riders... I just picked up this leather tank strap for my Triumph, but I'm completely on the fence. 🤨What do we think—does it add to the retro vibe, or is it a bit too much? Drop your votes below! 👇#TriumphOfficial #ModernClassic #Motorcycles #BikerLife #CafeRacer

Brilliant morning at the Dundee Transport Museum with the Scottish Café Racers. 🏁 Sunny skies and stunning bikes!#ScottishCafeRacers #Dundee #CafeRacer #Motorcycles

We headed south from Edinburgh, on a 150-mile loop in the Scottish Borders, briefly into England and returning through East Lothian. Fab roads, and a Bronze Age hillfort with spectacular views. Finished with coffee & cake on a farm ☕🍰 #EastLothian #RideOut #Triumph #BMWMotorrad #IndianMotorcycle

During my travels yesterday I spotted this beautiful 1974 #Honda #Goldwing at the Welly Stop, #Tyndrum. On French plates, the rider was touring north to explore Scotland. I love seeing classic #motorcycles used as intended, with their patina, rather than over-polished and admired from afar.

Adventure When the forecast says rain all week, you make the most of the one day the sun decides to show up. ☀️🏍️ Over 430 miles later, with plenty of smiles and some fantastic roads behind me, I'd say it was a day well spent. #Triumph #Motorcycle #RideMore #Motorcycling #SunnyDays #RoadTrip

Finally back out after almost two weeks off the bike. Despite clocking over 1,000 miles on my Spain trip, I'd really missed riding my Bonnie. We made it to Lochearnhead before the weather forced a café stop (cake and coffee!) and a turn for home. Still, nearly 150 miles; not a bad ride. #Triumph

Thinking of buying one of these long-term for touring. I'm in #Seville at the moment and they're everywhere! #BMW #R850R. Spotted a couple for sale back home. Has anyone owned one or currently rides one? Are they reliable, is there anything specific to look out for when buying? Thanks in advance!

In Córdoba, while touring Spain, these guys rode past... and I instantly wished I was on two wheels instead! 🏍️🇪🇸 Next time, I'm bringing the bike. 🤘 #HarleyDavidson #Suzuki #MotorcycleLife #RideToLive #Spain #Córdoba #BikerLife #RoadTrip

Came across this #chopper while travelling through Aberdeenshire a few days ago. I recognised it straight away from seeing it at the Edinburgh Motorcycle Show. Great to see such a memorable build out on the road rather than just on display.

Superb day out today! Met the guys at Powmill before heading to #Revolutions in Perth. 👌🏍️ I also loved the Morgans they had in stock... definitely turned my head! 😍 145 miles today and enjoyed every one of them. P.S. almost bought a Husky...

A nice surprise on our ride home yesterday! At our final stop, one of Scotland's ski centres, we spotted this rare Moto Guzzi V65 GT (V Sessantacinque GT, 650cc). It's not every day you see one out in the wild. Any #Guzzisti with a #V65 #GT? I'd love to see yours. #Moto #Guzzi

Spotted this beautiful #MotoGuzzi #California yesterday evening. As an ex-Guzzista, I've always admired this motorcycle from afar. Timeless styling and plenty of character. 🏍️ #MotoGuzzi #California

The weather was too good to ignore; sunny, warm, and perfect for a ride. ☀️🏍️ The #Bonneville was out to play with the #MVAgusta. P.S. We stopped in Muthill for a coffee. In a touch of dark comedy, we parked beside the cemetery... the perfect place to rest. ☕⚰️😄.

130 miles of fun in light but almost constant rain. Great ride, with the V-Max's power tamed by the wet roads through the bends, while my ki Bonneville felt right at home on the country lanes. Both bikes need a wash tonight... but we'll probably do it all again tomorrow!

Great day catching up with good pals talking motorcycles. Check out my mate's stunning #MVAgusta, crazy #BMW, and my trusty #Triumph #Bonneville. We also stumbled across a beautiful old #Lotus #Elan, which was a bonus. Nothing beats good company, great bikes, and a classic car to top it all off!

Took advantage of a break in the weather to cross the border into England and visit Holy Island...just made it with less than an hour to spare around lunchtime before the tide came in, or I'd have been stranded until evening. Over 200mls round trip, exploring the Borders, with my trusty Bonnie.

A great evening ride with my #Bonnie and Chris' #GS. Found some magical places and definitely got into the mood for much longer rides... perhaps next week, once tonight's storm has passed. 🏍️🌅⛈️
