Scottish Classic Club Run June 2023

 This years run was based around the Angus and Perthshire Glen's , probably some roads I haven't been on before and spectacular views, thanks to the organisers and the people who herded us on the right road. I would have stopped to take photos but I would have got lost probably, a Perthshire loon lost in Angus, I'd never have lived it down! We got lost as soon as we took off, following another Guzzi and an almost two Guzzi Crash followed by a bit of off roading over some bollards and a pavement, Lucky the two Bobbies speed trapping folk going to church on a Sunday morning never saw us....

The Glenisla hotel did well to serve us some drinks and snacks at lunchtime so well done to them

The clouds threatened all day and Fiona and I took a short way back to the Red House at Coupar Angus to avoid avoid the rain and to get the Guzzi's out of 3rd gear for a bit, a nice meal finished of a very nice day! short video attached gives you the idea

Norton Owners Club Solstice 2 Rally

 The Norton National Rally was held at the Rob Roy Hotel at Aberfoyle this weekend, a great turnout with over 140 people in attendance. To be honest I had been getting a bit jaded with the NOC events probably before covid but this weekend reignited the spark, it was a great weekend and really good to see everyone.

I suppose the usual moans around we are all getting older was a negative but you are only as old as you want to be, it's easy to sit back and complain but if you just get on with life you find that life is great fun (in amongst the not so fun bits)  

Let's face it great weather and good company and motorbikes whats not to like? Slider were playing on Saturday night and I apologised to them beforehand for the predicted exodus as soon as the band done their soundcheck but as the night went on some of the crowd came back into the hall from what we called "the retirement home" next door in the lounge and all of us in the hall had a great night as did the band! I went next door for a drink at 11pm and it was empty but everybody to their own, if they enjoyed listening to the band from their rooms then good stuff, I await the reports in the magazine to see if anyone was unhappy .

We had to leave on the Sunday so missed the concours judging and the quiz at night but I'm sure it was great, hopefully everybody gets home ok with no issues.

Looks like Spain in June for the International next year which I'm looking forward to already!

I took loads of photos and I wont comment on them all but enjoy anyway!

Ready to go and its sunny and warm!
