Well, it finally happened! I met someone else from the forum!

Yesterday Sunday the 20th was of course Easter Sunday. The Zetland Motorcycle club had an easter egg run to three of the care homes on the island. There were over 30 bikes in all and it was a brilliant day, gorgeous weather, great bunch of bikers and doing something nice for the older people in our community.

Anyway, myself and Soapy managed to both make it on the run.

Here's a pic of John (Soapy) and myself (Chris... surprisingly)

And just to prove we do have bikes then here is Soapy next to his red fazer with my blue fazer next to it.

A great day out and a pleasure to have met you mate! I do hope to meet more of you fine people at some point too! If you ever fancy a trip up to Shetland then get in touch!!

Haha, We're all very much alive an kicking up here mate, my axe and shield are just out of the pictures but think you can see my helmet in the pic with the bikes parked up. haha.

I'm 70% Viking, 20% crazy Scotsman and 10% Pure mental so you better behave yourself if you ever come up here! haha

My gran is Faroese mate so my whale beating genes are tuned in.

But she did tell me that the Blue whales are the slowest

Thanks for the invite to the run Chris. Really enjoyed it.

Some lovely scenery in Shetland when the sun shines.

Hope to do it again soon.

Think the Red one is nicer
