Motorcycling!!

[gerarddwatts]

Went on my bike yesterday!! First trip of the year! 200 miler up to Inverurie. Trifle nippy over the glen, but bearable. That's what it's all about!! I loved it. Over the Cairnwell, Deeside, back home over The Cairn O'mount, Finavon, Alyth Muir.

Looking forward to my next wee bimble!

Might go for a wee bimble on the Sportie this afternoon. First outing since Road Taxed this morning at 00.08!
Bridge of Cally, Pitlochry, Dunkeld, Perth, for some bits and pieces then back to Blairgowrie.
Looking pretty black here just now but supposed to improve later. We'll see.

Had a wee run down to the ABR Cumbria rally at the weekend . .

Me too - noisy jock contingent with some local Yorkies in the mix, in the corner of the big field, under a tarp, qwoffing cider and talking ballicks . . . loudly

740 mile round trip, knocking the F800's mileage up by over 2k miles already this year.

Hoping to rack up some more this coming wekend, seeing as the Afrca Twin is now on the road as well

On the way to work Monday first thing I passed through nethybridge and there must have been 50 bikes outside the hotel, looked like a lot of GS's
The Club? Could afford to stay in the hotel

And now we've just had 2 cracking days. And I've been working

YUP !!! That's what went wrong , the wrong sort got control of the helm and like the ship there were the 'Jack tars' and them on the POOP deck (emphasised intentionally) .
Club has lost it, they got internet and forgot the bread and butter foundation members.
