Mike, love yet another of your films, especially your stills, obviously have a good eye and every time you seem to capture the moment. Does make you feel as though your there. Love the K75s such a timeless looking bike.

I did the 500 in mid May on my Trident 660 and like you, did it solo. Weather was a bit iffy but the pass of the cattle was I found after much hype a doddle. Really Enjoyed the trip and enjoyed ya video mate, brought it all back as if yesterday.

[@yodagoat]

Cheers! If you enjoyed the Bealach Na Ba try the Drumbeg coast road and then go from Lochinver to Achiltibuie on the wee single track. It's a really nice run.

[@norriemasson4080]

Great clarity on your video as always Mike and some nice photos to boot. Keep them coming can’t wait to get back late April

[@yodagoat]

Thanks Norrie.

[@Nobby77]

Thinking of adding one of these to the stable

[@yodagoat]

They're great bikes and were a bit of a bargain for a while, prices are now going up a bit. I've sold mine now.

[@demiscunningham7340]

Buying my very first K75 RT today, just lapping up videos, hello from Perthshire!

[@yodagoat]

Hope you're enjoying your K.

[@NBMoto547]

Great views great ride on a great bike

[@yodagoat]

Thanks!

[@chrisjohnson4165]

Thanks for posting this. I love my K75S.

[@yodagoat]

Me too!

[@chrisjohnson4165]

@@yodagoat Yes, I've been a biker since I was 12 (50 years ago) and I've had lots of bikes. I've had 3 K75s and my current one is low mileage. I've done some discrete tweaks for more power, raised the gearing, and it just gets better and better, feels like new, and it's like a turbine.

[@yodagoat]

@@chrisjohnson4165 sounds great. There's a few good owners groups on Facebook that you might find interesting.

[@chrisjohnson4165]

@@yodagoat Yes, I'm in them.

[@chrisjohnson4165]

Magical film by the way, especially with that music!

[@MOTOZILIANS]

great video✌

[@yodagoat]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@aeror115]

Beautiful video buddy

[@yodagoat]

Thanks!

[@bobdegutis302]

Great scenery. I wish there were an engine sound only version.

[@yodagoat]

I couldn't have recorded it back then as I didn't have a mic. You'd only have got wind noise I'm afraid.

[@teardroppers]

K 75 - I'm lovin' it too

[@yodagoat]

Cheers!

[@NotNowCato1254]

Lucked out with the weather on the Bealach Na Ba coming back over. Did it in July 18 - not raining but a big cloud sat on top so could see fuck all from the high view point 😂. I came around the peninsula to Applecross from the North. Narly single track that - safest to stop for the views. Biggest difference was having to contend with dozens of white road blocks in the summer 🙄. Oh, and the Applecross Inn was rammed of course - got a decent coffee from the Airstream wagon in the car park, mind 👍

[@superglide6680]

I love your commentary. 😁

[@yodagoat]

Thanks!

[@eskuvoipartydj]

How was the camera attached to the helmet? It looks like it's moving separately.

[@yodagoat]

It's just stuck on. It's the image stabilisation that makes it look like it is attached separately. The camera is a GoPro 7.

[@eskuvoipartydj]

@@yodagoat Thanks for the quick reply. Otherwise I also have a K75 BMW. :)

[@salrussano1]

Can’t think of a better bike to that trip on the bmw deserved it lol

[@yodagoat]

It was a great trip.

[@marka6327]

Those are elk man.

[@yodagoat]

Ha ha! We don't have elk in Scotland mate. They're red deer.

[@johnhyoutube]

Stumbled across this video by pure fluke, and was gobsmacked when I saw the number plate on the bike .... 'cos it's my old bike! I bought it new in 1991 and if you would like some old photographs of the bike please contact me on [e-mail] and I'll send you some. Really thrilled to see my bike in such good hands and still looking so good. Cheers John H

[@yodagoat]

That would be great John! I've done a couple of other videos with the bike and there's a few write ups about it on my blog WintonMassif.co.uk I'll ping you an email soon.

[@johnhyoutube]

@@yodagoat Excellent, I'll look up your blog. The bike looks like new still, even after 30 years. BMW sure made them to last back then!

[@johnhyoutube]

@@yodagoat I've been reading your blog, some great photos of the bike in there. Back in the 90's I wrote a motorcycle column for The Scotsman newspaper, and someone has just sent me a copy of one of the articles which has a picture of the K75S in it. I'll send it on to you.

[@yodagoat]

@@johnhyoutube I've had a few photos and half page in MCN with the K75.

[@johnhyoutube]

@@yodagoat Been looking back my diaries, I sold to a chap in Pittenweem in 1997 and lost track of it after that. It had colour coded City panniers then, as well as the full sized ones. Dug out some photos of it for you.

[@alinn.4341]

Good music, but I came to hear the 3 cilinder at work :(. Thanks anyway!

[@yodagoat]

All you'd hear on this one would be wind noise. I've got a new mic set up now so hopefully I'll get some videos up with engine noise soon.
