I know; it's great isn't it.
I rode and drove it so often in the 90's and early 2,000's that I knew every bend, bump and patch of gravel off by heart.
I've posted on here about it before but I was coming back from Kilchoan, heading towards Saline on my own once, on the GS, when a guy in a pickup truck pulled out onto the road from the shellfish collection station at Laga.
He was obviously a local and made off at a good clip with me behind at a respectful distance. After about half a mile he indicated, stopped and waved me past. I pulled up alongside his open window and shouted, "No thanks, you're
doing a great job of breaking the trail." He grinned and buggered off at an increased speed with me making better progress behind than I probably had ever before on that road other than at night, in the car, when you can tell if there's
anything coming the other way.
