924 miles Dunoon - Glen Massan

Mixing work with pleasure, a job at Glen Massan near Dunoon, yet again torrential rain. I am surprised the bike has not shrunk, nearly all the miles has been in very heavy rain.

Mostly the roads were fantastic, i even got a nod of approval from the local plods in Arrochar, they also looked like they were on Pans. Where they train I am told, no surprise that, if i was a bike copper I too would be picking spots like that for work.

The bike has been brilliant, cannot praise it enough, faultless, truly brilliant. Made very bad weather very tolerable. Great panniers, 50 mpg, comfort, easy overtaking, screen, class act.

After 5 years of blowing money on many bikes like a demented child in a sweet shop could it be that the bike that I would not even have considered several months ago, just might be the one i have been looking for.

This sounds bad but after 600 miles of very wet bonding with the Pan, i have found myself very drawn to it. An every day tool that could travel the world in its stride, keeping you pretty dry and keeping a lot more of your petrol money in your pocket. It is a global motorbike not to be underrated until tried and every planet should have one.



All pictures taken on the main Dunoon road, stunning, my poor photography fails to capture a stunning place with great biking roads.
