what did you do with your fazer today ?

[Hedgetrimmer]

If you find yourself up near Inverness you've got to take the road to Fort William, follows the contours of Loch Ness, blinding road.

I've been up as far as the turn-off by Loch Garry for Glen Shiel a couple of times in the past, but not further towards Ness. All in good time

I was doing the J Ogroats to Lands End so only in Scotland for two days, didn't get to check out any other roads but the A82 was the only memorable piece of tarmac for me. Was on my 9 and went hell for leather down there, passed about 30 Harley riders in about four corners, don't think they would have been very happy with my overtaking, underneath, round the outside, far to aggressive but they were never going to catch me.
Would be worth looking up Skycat and Kamchat on the MCN forum, they seem to arrange some very popular ride outs in Scotland.

Had to clean it due to it looking like a dirt bike after Thursday's ride , washed it , chamoised it , used silicone  bike shine on the plastics , GT'85 on the metal bits and the chain , metal polish on the down pipes and the link pipe , took the battery back off .

[dickturpin]

Good shots Nick...that's one of my favourite circuits round by Honister mine....also like the back road through Portinscale to Grange

[red98]

Took advantage of the mi.ld weather and took a bimble round oxfordshire, from high wycombe to stokenchurch, testworth, oxford , brekkie at burger van just west of cassington, whitney, brize norton, abingdon, dorchester and "H"s cafe for tea, shillingford bridge hotel for toasted sarnie, not keen on food at "H"s, onto henley, marlow and back to high wycombe, a good mornings ride 105 ish miles.....a bonus at this time of year

Ah, the old hunting ground 


Us old uns still show the younger folk the way...gotta get out when the weather permits 


Had some nice sunshine here today, but the wind has been howling with some heavy showers, so just a relaxing Sunday indoors for me today. If the wind is like this here, what will it be like among the hills?! 


Dick, we'll have to get together for a spin some time 

[mickvp]

Unsurprisingly, it's bloody windy

Dog has been hiding behind the couch all day because of it, big Jessie that he is

My cover had partially blown off last night (forgot to clip the bit that goes underneath), so j washed and ACF-50'd the fazed today.

No one in their right mind intentionally takes a bimble round Carterton - the one good thing about the place? Four roads out 


Paul, I trim hedges, not hair    And even that not to order - can only get creative when the mood is on me 

[red98]

You cant tell me that this isnt your old shop.........

[stevie-g1968]

started it , reved the nuts of it to warm it up a bit.. then watched it rain so put it away again... if its dry n mild over the crimbo week, I'm gonna get out on it if your around paul ?

Ha bloody ha 


They're just describing Toon Town.

  ....... 105 miles to get that piccie, worth every mile

Took a wander to West Cork with Downey to have the last supper in the Motorcycle grill as it is closing it doors for good this evening.
Great crowd, showing great support for a very popular cafe.

Stopped off at the birthplace of Henry Fords ould lad.

Downey in the Model T hot seat "The sky is the limit" 

[unfazed]

Here he is again pondering on if the Model T is faster than his ould Ivanised yolk

The higher hill tops lost in clag, and looking pretty threatening. But sod it, I'd come this far, I'll press on. So through Seatoller and the climb up to the Honister pass. Looking back:



And this is what it looks like in summer.

Dick, we'll have to get together for a spin some time 

Yes, but I have two hours over the A66 to get to you so maybe springtime when temps have picked up a bit?

That's what I meant, next spring perhaps. Maybe I could pop down your way sometime too, and you show me around the North York Moors. I've got a lot of exploring to do now I'm up here

Ok...sounds like a plan....sure I can show you some memorable routes in this area.
