Better day in Orkney today too, quick blast to Burwick and back to Kirkwall on the 550, about 40 miles. Quick cup of tea then out with the 750 for a 20 mile blast. Happy days!

Great day out at the Bicester Scramble yesterday, felt like a summers day! If you’ve never been they’re definitely worth checking out, the next one is in January though

Lovely Mk1 Lotus nice bike too.! Had a couple of Mk1’s back in the day but nothing fancy, always had a notion for a Mk1 GT but didn’t have enough green shield stamps.🤣

It’s a barn find.  Each day I go to the barn and there it is, next to my tractor.

I like that, what a great expression.  I only ride it to the shops or to work.

A good turn out yesterday at the local classic bike meet in Arbroath.  There were 4 400 fours there. Popular everywhere!
