A BMW R100GS in white with a sheepskin seat cover on a road in the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland with the mountains in the background.
Minus 2C this morning but it's dry and I haven't ridden for a while, so a quick trip to Aviemore for breakfast.

The track's muddy and the road is salty.

Early morning ride on the #R100GS thwarted by gearchange problems.
