Came down from Moray today. Rothes - Tomintoul - the Lecht - Donside - Braemar - Glenshee - Perth. What a fantastic ride. Done it many times before of course but rarely on a better day. At the top of the ridge overlooking Deeside (with the view over to the Cairngorms in the distance and Lochnagar in the foreground) a Dutch VFR was stopped. So of course, I stopped too and said ... "A bit different from the Netherlands then!" Massive grin in response!
Btw ... There are still piles of gravel on the road below the Lecht. Ride with care!

Take false numberplates. Scottish police are nicking people for 1MPH over the limit so copy the scumbags who get away with everything

Copper stopped me with 'Afternoon sir....'
'What the fook do ya want copper?' says I
'Do you know the speed limit sir?' says he.
'Yes I fookin' do, why?' says I.
"Do you know you were speeding sir?' says he
'Yes, I was on a blinder til you stepped in the road waving at me'
'Well, the speed limit is there for a reason sir' says pc
'And?? whats your point pal I'm in a hurry' says cocky me.
'Its just that I've not seen this bike close up before' says pc
'FFS - not again'
'Nor such skill and exemplary road craft' splutters pc
'I'm getting bored now, what about the speed limit?'
'Its to give us a chance to look at the nice paintwork' says pc sheepishly.
'Well, take a photo, quick like'.
'Really!!!!, thanks.....' says bashful policeman.
'Hurry up!! Right, now fook off, I just might get my average speed back!!
Delighted policeman stops the cars to allow my speedy one wheeled exit.
The Scottish constabulary could not have been more obliging

Nice one Tgu
Not a single glimpse of the Polis on my run down. Thus I was able to pop into Castle Watts without undue delay to discuss the finer points of the Labour Manifesto and my deep and abiding fondness for felines over an excellent cup of Lapsang Soochong! Much refreshed, one departed the noble pile (and Gerry's gaff) for the final brisk ride tae Embra. The day was made complete by a note from Mrs SB ... "Left overs in the fridge and some Innis n Gunn" and an evening watching sport on TV. (Amber Rudd being hammered in a six way tag match.) Oh, the joys ...!
