Good eyesight Andy. Hopefully a bigger pic appears.
I should say that this bike is not mine. My uncle had a 350/360 when I was a teen, and it was at that time probably the best trials bike I had ever ridden. Wouldn't mind a shot on one of them again, but I don't have the skills for competition any more.




Johnny, just checked the dates for these proposed battlefield gatherings:
16th April - Friday
24th June - Thursday
27th July - Tuesday (I know ye cannae come)
11th Sept - Saturday

Culloden 16 April
Bannockburn 24 June
Killiekrankie 27 July
Stirling Bridge 11 September
Whatever direction ye take is up to you

I'll miss the Killiekrankie one but does anyone fancy the idea

Your ride out is to the battlefield onyack

Brilliant idea and not always at the weekend which is good for me however I will miss every one as I am offshore or on my Summer Hol (KillerKlanky reinactment)...

 

[Rev Chuck]

Putting these dates into diary - not a commitment to being at them all though - and wondered if we are meeting for lunch?

Pointless it would be if we all agreed to turn up, but without a central time for meeting, we could miss all the sunny disposition that become's available at SS gatherings.

And if we be coming for lunch, is lunch in Johnny's part of the world, at 12.00 / 12.30 / 13.00? I'd prefer 13.00....
Of course, for some venues it might mean bringin yer own soup'n'roll, in a flask.
However, on the other hand, I might not make any of these, but guidelines would be helpful
I thank you!

The idea is turn up at a battlefield on the anniversary of said battle at 1pm if there is someone else there fair enough.

That way we can avoid all the last minute call offs sitting outside MacDonalds on the FRB etc etc

I'm away to specsavers

 

[Scott_Dog]

So are these happening then?

See the above post Scott, if there is another tosser there then ....well, there is another tosser there.

Got a battle in mind you want to commemorate?

 

[Scott_Dog]

Not one in particular, just it seemd a reasonable idea! I've never been to Culloden anyway, and I think I can go on Friday - might just do that anyway!

 

[wully]

It would be a nice run up there for me but I'm too busy....thought being 'un waged' was meant to give you loads of free time??

 

[skyenet]

and I think I can go on Friday - might just do that anyway!

I have Jury Service on Friday

Probably have to hang round for hours and then get told to come back on Monday, to be messed around again.

 

[rockchunk]

Speakin of MacDonalds. Whit aboot Glencoe?

Edit: cancel. That was a massacre, no' a battle. Same will apply tae Ibrox tae...

aye dont forget hampden 10/4/2010

In my experience planning "unwaged" time is harder than planning "waged" time! Never knew there was so much I could do. Planning means having 'bike time too mind!

The Monument

Stirling castle can just about be seen above, a wee bit closer here.

Its significant because its what they were protecting, that n their Freedom.

Yir man

Ma bike, its dirty n getting rusty, bite me. (Sorry Steve ) Still runs like a dream

DeBohun was killed by Bruce near here, it turned the battle before it had started

I got a sticker here, stickers is currency don’t cha no
Why is there no Forry smilie??


Cracking afternoon out after some domestic chores this morning, btw EDF have the best domestic leckie the now, plan 6. for me saves over £400 p/a against Dens lot

Anyone notice "DeBohun" sounds a bit like Daholm or whatever his name is, spooky or what.......

Great thread
