Brilliant ride out today on the 550 Mongrels, the perfect day for a good blast around.

Very smart I have always liked the look of the 350 Four, that tank design is superb.

Very nice day for a run around accross the country, it was even a nice day up here in Orkney. That 350 does look very nice.

(Sorry about the sideways thumbnail.)

I've been commuting 100miles a day on the bikes this week and probably for the next month or so.
Started of on the Aprilia and managed about 20 ft before the water pump packed in. Jumped on the Guzzi and that lasted a day before I got a puncture that destroyed the rear tyre.
So back on the trusty 750.
Not that that has been trouble free. Got to work to find the key had fallen out of the ignition. Thankfully not an issue as I could turn it with just about anything that would fit in the hole. Disided that wasn't very secure so fitted the ignition barrel from the gold 750 and discovered today that the bike will run if the key is in the parking light position. That can't be Wright?

Out today sunny spells and light rain so waterproofs on but a lovely ride on the 500/4. Really glad of all the help from you folks with my carbs, it's running really nicely now. This is from behind the George at Inveraray

Looks great Hubert,
Inverary again?  Think that's where we met up with you on your CBX.  I was on the 'Wing, David on his K100RT - happy times!

I've stayed there a couple of times. Great hotel, probably the best whisky bar that I've ever seen. OK if your not riding!

Hi Ian yes it's a favourite venue for a ride out, I've parked where it's quieter with a nice view across to Strachur...those were good days you're right must have been over ten years ago

It's on my list Gareth, Inveraray is quite central for a base....were you out on a ride when you stayed?

I was staying there when doing an off-road course with the local training school, sadly since closed.

I took the CB750 and the T120 out today, did about 60 miles on each, I only thought to get the one picture unfortunately, hope that still counts. It was a perfect afternoon for riding some really nice roads.
