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!

  1. Thanks for wonderful photos Gino and Fiona. It was a great weekend for us too. You missed another sunny day on the Sunday and the rain most of us caught riding home Monday.
