I decided to give the Commando a run to Comrie tonight to have a look at some of the bikes at the Stirling Castle VMCC annual run. I was late and therefore missed most of the bikes but it was worth the trip if only to give abuse to some of my friends which were there, I believe the run went well which was great, the Commando went well as well which was even better. Many familiar faces as well as familiar bikes.
The first time I stayed at Cultybraggan was many a year ago when I was in the Army Cadet Force, my claim for having done service to my Queen and Country, strange you can be a Vet as the Americans call them at the ripe old age of 16, I was proud to have served in the Black Watch Cadets for a handful of weeks until I decided that taking orders were not my Forte, alas there was no fast track to a Generals position so I left but only after I learned to clean and shoot a rifle (at 14) !
My next visit was as an engineer, trusted with a top level security clearance to gain access to the "Secret Bunker" for a fault on the Telecom's circuit that would keep our country safe from a potential Russian Invasion! ( Even more of a Joke than the Army Cadets) And finally tonight as a Motorcyclist, the only thing I'm almost qualified to do, looking at some ancient bikes. Life is strange isn't it?
I had a Fish supper at Comrie Chippy and thoroughly enjoyed my run home, motorcycling is great!
