A change in temperature but still good for the wee smokey

 So three weeks since we got home from a hot and mostly sunny Europe and it feels like we have moved continents not just a country or two. It's been cooler than I remember in October, heavy rain and freezing temperatures, not the friend of any motorcyclist. I wonder when the benefit of net zero will kick in, all these windmills generating electricity (at the cost of over a million trees in Scotland alone) all these electric cars helping the environment must mean global warming is slowing down, in fact I would like global freezing to slow down first. Maybe all these electric cars going on fire will at least give us a heat! Meanwhile throughout the world missiles and bombs are being fires at countries, killing many innocent people just so the rich can get richer and increase their hold on the lowly peasants (us), has nobody told them about global warming or in Scotlands case shite weather!

Thank god for Motorcycles and Eric's uncanny knack to ensure we had good weather for our trip to Arbroath for the wee Smokey, we even got home with the bikes almost as clean as when we left and that despite the tractors laying down most of the fields in the road so we can get chips for our weekly Fish supper. A braw day oot and a chance as always to catch up with folk enjoying motorcycling camaraderie at its best. Norton meeting next Sunday at Tullybannocher, my waterproofs have been looked out already!

A wee video to show you what you missed.......
