Nowt wrong with too many Harleys.

 

Was good! Left home around 11 and arrived in notts at 6, slowed down by cups of tea courtesy of rich Bryce in Woburn and Dozersdad in Northampton!! Cheers guys!! Found some lovely country roads too

 

Wore a peak on my open face today... makes a huge positive difference to the helmet stability at speed!

 

me and the Mrs had a run to Loch Katrine in the Trossachs,and did a 2hr cruise on the "Sir Walter Scott" then stopped off at Aberfoyle for lunch then back roads to Crieff then the Sma Glen to Dunkeld then Home


Strange "walled Island"


Passed the only lake in Scotland "Lake Of Menteith" no idea why it's called a lake

 

I just can't say no!! after getting back from the run today i realized i had a text saying about a run tonight.fish supper in Montrose and Home via Brechin where they are getting ready for a big Harley rally this weekend..i'll sleep well tonight!

 

Picked up my birthday-present today.
Installation has to wait 'til after the GMU since my birthday is not before
2nd of August...

(valve-caps and throttle-body cover...)

 

Best place for breakfast - aeroclub restaurant at Goodwood circuit. WWII control tower with terrace so that you have a good view of the circuit.

 

Shower dodging shake down rides

 

Not what I had planned... The intention today was click off some break-in miles on my T100 but my brother and family made an unscheduled stop with us for the night on their way back from staying with our parents. They're now heading to Heathrow and their flight home to Sydney. As we see them so infrequently it would have been rude to have buggered off for the day.

Fingers crosed for tomorrow.

 

I should say so Squiffy, but watch out for sausage squadron up the blue end! Pip pip!

 

No, don't understand that banter at all.

C. Monty Python (as I assume some of you may have missed the reference).

 

"Cabbage crates coming over the briny?
Bunch of monkeys on your ceiling sir! Grab your egg and fours abd let's get the bacon delivered"

 

Went out after w^rk on Doris into last years gmu country, went to Matlock bath then headed up into the hills, lovely ride! Put in windy route back to Kimberly, big mistake, great scenery but some of the roads/tracks were a bit dodgy, great way to wind down after a long days work.

 

Made some exhaust mounts for the cocktail shakers on my speedmaster from old engine mounts lifted out of the scrap bin at work
The ones I had made earlier were solid bar twisted to shape
The problem I had was that at certain revs the buzz through the footrests was ridiculous hopefully with these rubber mounts that should be eliminated
Find out when I go to Dumfries to meet up for the GMU

 

Arrived back in Dublin safe and sound. Galway and Donegal were fantastic, although we got very wet on the last 30 miles into Donegal. Ready for last couple of pints of black necture this evening and then the ferry tomorrow morning.

And then its the GMU, motorbiking is so much fun.............

6.45am met up with figwold and Nick (who bought a Scrambler off us at Woburn 700 miles ago) and went for a blast (they were bimbling in my rear view) over lots of country lanes and B roads. From Oakley to Uppingham to Foxton Locks for breakfast to Desborough to Thrapston and home on the Kimbolton Road. Stopped off at Lyveden New Beld, Harringworth viaduct, Eleanor Cross in Geddington and Denford Floods. Cracking route if you don't mind your teeth being shaken loose. Gonna do it again departing from Pure Triumph Woburn 9.00 for 9.30am Sat 29th July. Join me if you can. Nodded to four Harley riders on route, all of whom stared and blanked us, hogt1t$. And yesterday I let a Harley rider out of a tight junction in Harboro who did wave thanks to me - number plate GB03 HOG,
