    Is that a quid for each, bike and/or helmet locker, and how long for?
    Seems like a good idea to me.

    the lock is non refundable but I think the locker is, with regards length of time, its open 24 hrs but I didn't look for a time limit. If you go in in the left hand lane its a half barrier so you go straight through and on the way out again use the left lane and theres a little m/c lane that goes round the barrier. They say you can't use your own chain/locks in the locking bays, but then some weren't working. its right next to the car park office so theres always someone nearby

    Aberdeen for a look around Ecosse Motorcycles, they had a Street Triple,

    http://www.ecossemotorcycles.co.uk/locator/647286/2014-14-reg-triumph-1050.aspx

    and a Sprint.

    I liked.They were good enough to look after my gear and so I got to walk around town in comfort "cheers guys":cool::)

    I looked at motorcycle jeans RST Isle of Man 89 quid, add your own armour. I really did not think much of any of them, lacking in lining and thin,:eek: it seemed to me, think I will stick with leather.Then off to M and S

    thanks Bikerman,yes it was a lovely run,the road from the ski centre to Braemar and beyond is always kept in great nick (something to do with the royals having their summer home there no doubt!)

    what a lot of people don't realize about Eilean Donan castle is that in it's current form it's only 84 years old! before that it was basically a pile of rubble,it actually looks nothing like the original,the survey drawings were not rediscovered until they had finished the rebuild in 1932,they did make a pretty good job of it though :)

    your'e not alone, i only found out a few years ago,i guess as it's such a big attraction for tourist they won't want to advertise it was built that recently,it is a lovely looking castle and the setting is idyllic

    Today, I fitted Gilles rearsets. They look nice and are beautifully made, but I'm not actually convinced by them. They are anodised black but the right one has a silver heel guard, but the left one doesn't have one. And my carbon heel guards don't fit, and I need to make a new low boy support bracket.

    I'll put some fotos up, please give me your honest opinions. Cheers.

    So is Avebury, the site was bought by Alexander Keiller of the Dundee Marmalade fame, at that point most of the stones were either below ground or broken up and used for building houses and walls, he dug 'em up and even pulled some of the houses down to re-form the 3 rings.
    Looks very pretty, but don't bother stopping at the pub, they DONT welcome bikers! (To the poimt of asking you to leave!)
    The near by straight road is a blast though.;)
    Stonehenge was in private ownership, Cecil Chubb bought it for £6600 in 1915 from the Antrobus family of Cheshire and gave it to the country 3 years later.
    Now its just a money making machine!
