Here's my diary of events today....
Up at 7am, bike out and no leaks etc.
Got my boy up and ready at 7:30 with a promise of at mcds in Anniesland to tease him.out of bed, it worked
Arrived at said mcds for agreed time of 8am to meet pickles, who was late!
We duly had our breakfast and a wee chat once he arrived.
So headed to Dumbarton to meet clanadam, on arrival we meet and greet him and his pal. After another bit of banter we all head off to Stirling services to meet youngsterbiker, I said I'd go at the back as I had a pillion and thought my bike was a bit 'squidgy' so wanted to take it easy.
We all arrive safely at Stirling (albeit someone nearly headed to Aberfoyle as they didn't see a 'wee' sign)
, some sports bikes needed fuel, (get a fazer lads
)
So I think I better check my tyre pressures, just as well I did! Back at 33 and front at 31! Double checked with pickles electronic gadget, so I duly go and get them blown up a bit but at £1 for air minimum charge what a foccin rip off, but better £1 down as apposed to a bike down
youngsterbiker is running a bit late due to a wee drinking session last night, some thought he looked rough, I'm sure he always looks that way
Route decided is head to the green welly for lunch / bite to eat/ rest etc. Good clean run, nice bends, nice overtakes
After a rest we decide to head to Oban but turn off for Inveraray, but at the junction it's decided to head to Oban and then Lochgilphead and then back to Inveraray
I bet youngsterbiker is wondering if he'll ever get home today
and he needs petrol at Oban. En route I'm talking to my boy and he wants something to eat again! So I decide to stop there and gets chips with free seagulls
and then I was going to head back to Inveraray then home, so we said our departing words and good wishes to all in the group.
After our chips my boy and I head to Inveraray and decide to stop for a wee rest and who do we see at the car park? Well I won't say you lot were speeding but WTF? how did you get there? By jet me thinks
So after another wee catch up and a few people mentioning an unmarked police car in the area we duly persuade youngsterbiker to come towards Tarbert and then go up the Loch Lomond road to get home (hope he enjoyed it)
As it happened, we didn't need to worry about the unmarked police car as it's blue lights were going like mad in the opposite direction so for now, we were ok
Got to Tarbert and youngsterbiker peeled off and headed home, we then carried on towards Glasgow.
I got home after 240 miles with a big grin and dry thanks to the weather holding out for us. No rain and not roasting, best sort of day me thinks.
All in an absolute brilliant day, really looking forward to another foccers day
Cheers fellas, was good puting faces to names
So it's a shower and early to bed for me, but not before I have a couple of beers, well deserved I think
