Yes, big difference Mark. Cruising at 80ish possible bolt upright with minor buffeting. 90's OK with a slight tuck. Without the screen I found anything approaching 80 to be unpleasant!

As for the NC500, maybe it's due to staycations or maybe the recent weather, however the roads North are a nightmare. Traffic was at a standstill on Fri and Sat leaving Glasgow on the M8 all the way over the Erskine Bridge and the length of Loch Lomond. Not everyone heading for the NC, big groups of car/bike clubs though.

April-June a far better bet. Weather more likely to be dry, no midges and less traffic.
