Our annual Norton Club Huntygowks meeting today at Comrie was a wet affair, Fi and I had a great run up despite the heavy rain starting around Knockhill. Fi decided to take her Kawasaki since she hadn't been out on it since we left for Argentina 18 months ago and because she didn't want to get another Norton dirty.
A good turnout despite the weather and great to catch up with old pals we hadn't seen for a while, it was a day of tea, rolls and cakes and talking bikes and nonsense, a perfect day really. My bike was great on the run up but decided not to start after our day, Bill hung around to watch me change plugs, looks like a weak spark so a dodgy coil methinks, it got me home on a mixture of one, two and one and a half cylinders, not fun really on the soaking roads and horizontal rain. Looks like my waterproof gear isn't any more either and as I write this half an hour after getting back the sun's just come out, thank you!
Some maintenance to do then this week and more spares to be bought!

Aye Gino,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the organisation and blether. Thanks for the blether with everybody else. Pleased you made it back home, no better going our way back home either. Hosed the bikes down and at 16:00pm the 'currant' bun' came out and had more soup, crispy bacon chiabata and tea sitting in the sun! Just a scunner the front came through when it did, but the forecast was no bad. Into the Duke again already! ;¬)
Good health to you both, Bill & Kat.
