Out and about 2022

Great views and a lovely bike there, I'm set on going up next year, definitely! 

Furthest I've been up is Lommond for weeks mooching  and Edinburgh but that was exibiting at the Scottish bike show some 20 years ago, didnt really see much except a wet grey Edinburgh and a lot of dripping bikers at the show. I do remember being hit in the eye by a bumble bee when I lifted my visor up momentarily, felt like I'd been hit with a golf ball and looked like I'd been hit with a cream egg. Resulted in a shut eye and a black eye like a pound of liver for a week. Didnt really notice much while I was there, I didn't have stereo vision so it might have been nice, I dont know.

Swore I'd go back up

Had a nice day out yesterday, at Oulton Park for the Thundersport Club Bike Championships, not quite MotoGp not even BSB but some good racing still.
The boss and I try to go to as many meetings as possible at Oulton and thoroughly enjoy them.
I'm not a fan of most modern bikes but this caught my eye.



Cheers

That's nice. Not sure about the seat colours but some lovely detailing. Bet it sounded nice as well.

I have every album! I was exposed to that at a very early age.

Actually got to see him live in gloucester, too many years ago to count, took the piss out of me when i went back to my seat on crutches after the break, ankle broke in hit and run 2 weeks before

I must know every line in all his LP's and still has me in fits today, such a funny chap. My brother met him when they got him into the local pub for an evening when he was at Polytechnic in Plymouth in the early 80's I think.....

Another bonny day today here in Orkney, so after doing a bit of work on a new shed door in the morning I felt that I had earned a ride out for the afternoon.  I dragged the 'Two wheeled Grey Fergie' out from the garage and had a lovely ride down over the Churchill Barriers to the southern-most tip of the Orkney Mainland at Burwick.  This is a round trip of over 80 miles for me.  Not many folk out as they seemed to be watching something on day-time TV - search me!
Anyway, sorry it's not a single OHC Honda - I'll try better next time!

This is near Burray, overlooking Scapa Flow:

Despite extensive research, I still can't locate the bit that Churchill built - perhaps they should be renamed 'The Italian Prisoners of War Barriers'?

Spotted this in a campsite on a recent trip to the alps.
