The UK's best commute? A890 in Highlands on a BMW R1200GS

A short section of my commute back home from work in Kyle of Lochalsh to Inverness. This section is the A890 from Auchtertyre to Lochcarron. Not claiming it to be the fastest ride on the smoothest tarmac, but scenery wise it's going to take a bit of beating! I never tire of getting to/coming back from work this way!

Bike is an '09 BMW R1200GS with an Akrapovic exhaust, filmed on a GoPro Hero HD - it's unedited because it's the first GoPro vid I've uploaded, so is a bit of an experiment and the bit at the start was because I forgot to turn the camera on the first run!

Grew up in Lochcarron and know the kyle and Inverness road very well. Good ride and made good time as well!

Now that's a nice commute ;-). Beats my metal box with 4 wheels 30 min motorway jaunt every morning :-(

It's a few years since I've had the bike up to Scotland, and this reminds me why I need to take it back. You're a lucky man :)
