  • We take the wee Monkey on a long ish ride 250 miles from East Lothian to Strontian. We ride through Glendevon, past Gleneagles where nobody says hello and through Glencoe all to the beautiful symphony of the Yoshimura RS3.

    Thank you. I really enjoyed your video more of you probably realize. I suggest when your gloves are good and dry to give them a few spray coats of 3M Scotchcard. It should make the surface hydrophobic and keep your fingers and hands dry. Spraying he seams is key. Scotchguard works great on tenth and even pants to keep the rain out. Wishing you the very best. Please keep Monkeying around and sharing it with the world. Edward in Irvine California.

    Great to see you out on a wee bike again, Mike. Your a hardy man. I hate rain and only go out when there is a good forecast. Call me soft. Another good film.

      When you head west there's so much chance of getting rain you just need to roll with it.

    Brilliant Mike, great to,see you out and about having fun with a monkey. You are certainly the ambassador for any two wheels. Something special about trying to go flat out on a wee bike, addictive. Great to see your dad and Mike Gray too. Your dad always looks so young. Been up those roads many times. We are blessed living in Scotland. Take care buddy. Great video.

    Great video. Small bikes are great fun specially if there are a few of you. Would like a Monkey or grom if I could get some sort of folding handlebars but otherwise they are just a bit to big for my campervan so have to make do with a Skyteam Monkey as they are much smaller. We go to Scotland quite a bit, the landscapes are stunning.

    Crazy little bikes, not sure about that exhaust though Mike😁😁 reckon you nearly had ya knee down a couple of times.
    That wind was gusty wasn't it, seemed to cope fairly well though.
    We had a rather nice brekkie in Creiff. And are you sure that sore arse was down to the monkeys saddle?
    Love Glencoe, even in the rain.
