Commuting Really Sucks , But Sometimes ...

[Wee Jack]

Like everyone else here , I suppose, I find the daily trudge into work a pain in the erse, more so, up here in the wet 'n windy west coast of Scotland. When it's dark and the wind blaws and the rain is horizontal, and the ferries are disrupted and I'm standing on some god forsaken slipway waiting for (in no particular order) - the wind to drop / the tide to come in / the visability to improve / the ferry being repaired - I really question WHY DO I DO THIS ??. Why do I not just buy a wee hoose on the mainland and become a cager ??

Then sometimes just sometimes I get a wee reminder of why I do this and why I love it and why going to work by motorcycle is the greatest thing .......

I turned the corner at the bottom of my street this morning and saw this ..

Looking out over Millport Bay towards Little Cumbrae and Arran.

SO I went back for my camera and took a few wee shots of my commute to share with my cyber buddies..........

Looking South west towards Arran and the South end of Bute - Garroch Head

Looking North West - Loch Striven , Toward Point , kyles of Bute.

And the last view of home until tonight.

NOW THATS ! why I do it.

Sounds like it dying for a video camera attached not ony to the bike but also positioned on the front of the ferry.

I'm travelling to Skye everyday just now until I get accomodation sorted out.
Road from Invermoriston through to Skye is great just now--- no more fekin tourists,can really let rip !!!, unfortunately a lot of dead deer at the side of the road,( start of the rutting season ) only a matter of time till I clobber one
Downside is, I'm in the car but maybe as well as I leave really early in the morning and come back late ( a sad reflection of being involved in the construction industry ) eh Chad ?????
Upside is the scenery and, for a change, Skye weather has been excellent so far. Long may it continue.
