Afternoon distraction !

G.C. · Oct 10, 2006

I was working away quite happily when in walked Floyd for a bite of lunch. He was out and about on his spanking new R1200GSA, nice bike Floyd.

I was looking forward to a few hours of paperwork

and today the sun was out, Floyd was in no rush to get home, bit of a no brainer really.

Thanks for the distraction Floyd.

who's a naughty boy then?

nice pics and envious of such good weather BUT the front end of a certain 1150 seems to have a particularly shiny tyre.
Ok maybe was a bit wet from somewhere?lol.
which box carried the kitchen sink?

Is that Humvees previous bike?

G.C. · Oct 10, 2006

Yes, Ill have a word with myself. My next trip on the bike is to get new tyres, F&B. The track was muddy on a few stretches and I was jealous of Floyds TKC`s. My front end felt particularly vague

The luggage was still on from last weeks trip to Inverness, it really was a impromptu wee ride.

Is that Humvees previous bike?

Yes Taff it is, if he looks at these pictures, well, tell him Ill give it a good clean in the next few days, honest.

Enjoyed those pics G.C.

Aint it funny how Scottish Mountain pics always give me a wee lift.

Now where's that ferry timetable.

Edit (Oops ... should have said lovely bikes too

)

Many thanks Gordon for a great afternoon. Fantastic lunch at The Lochy(plug) :clap

was in more need of a sleep due to the huge portions, than a run over the hills , through the glens and over the water

Looking forward to the next time

Great pics, especially the first one

... I'm not jealous :spitfire

Cookson · Oct 11, 2006

Great pics, as usual. I've said this before & I'll say it again, I can't believe what you've got for a playground, if I had that out my back door I would'nt get any work done, at all.

I recognize the background in that first pic, that road take's you to Mallaig, look's like I got to wait till next year for another fish supper.

Andy Davies · Oct 11, 2006

A good job you went yesterday, you'd need a dry suit (and the new tyres) if you tried it today! Don't you just love West Coast weather!

Unclassified road Between Kinlochan and Strontian (Sunart) with Loch Doilet in the background if I'm not mistaken :clap

How's the new Bike Al?

Just Noticed.......This is my 100th Post :hogroast

Blackal · Oct 11, 2006

Hey Alistair!

We're more accustomed to you saying: "This is my 100th pint" :beer:

The new bike? I wouldn't know.............I've only done 120 miles on it, all of them on knobblies. Putting it in next week for Tourances and may take it up to Poolewe the following weekend. It was a bit daunting at first (and still is, to be honest) so I need to get some miles in on it.

Hoping for good weather at the weekend, as I'm not home until tomorrow.

'hearing from ya,

Al

Twas a bit quicker with just the two of us, just over 2 hours with 3 stops and no waiting in the rain under a tree

Been proper rain since then, non stop which means Ive caught up with the paperwork.

Floyd and I spotted another track that will require further investigation. Yea ha.
Not getting on with the Knobblies Al ?

Blackal · Oct 12, 2006

I wobbled along for a couple of hundred yards thinking "Feck! I'll have to take this bike back!" The bike seemed to "float" around on tarmac (bear in mind that I'd never ridden a 1200GS, never mind an Adv).

I think the back tyre could be a bit flatted, and found the low speed to be a bit disconcerting, but once on the move at a decent clip - it handled the bendy bits allright. I'll see how I get on with the Tourances and return to the knobblies if I need to (not required for Sainsburys car park, I guess)
