The weather continues, some bright spells then just to make sure you we aren't out of the woods yet the rain and colder temperatures return. Next week will be April, last year we went to Morocco where it was warm, this year we will be in Scotland moaning about the weather. Easter (because it changes every year) has always been a mixed bag, Rain, Sun and even snow sometimes, funny that your memory tricks you thinking at was always sunny when you were younger, a bit like old bikes, always thinking that you did 1000's of miles without so much as a service and in total reliability.
I'm hoping I can get the Nortons and Guzzis out very soon, the BMW's have done the job but I can't wait to get out on something different. The Velo is still on the bench whist I wait for the trigger unit for the ignition arriving, not sure if it's the post or the vendor to blame but meanwhile I am reluctant to move it off the bench as I fear it will be forgotten about again. When you have a few bikes, it's easy to park the problematic ones rather than just getting on with making them problem free, first world problems I guess.
So we are looking forward to the Norton (Huntygowks) meeting at Tullybannocher on the 7th of April and the first Wee Smokey in Arbroath on the 14th of April so hopefully that will get the classic year started on a high, see you on the road, somewhere!

Good to see you hardy souls out and about and look forward to seeing both at Wee Smokey if you can make it. The Norton Tullybannocher meet unfortunately is on same day as VMCC Tay Bridge Small Breakfast meet. Eric (frae the land o' the Wee Smokeys)

DeleteAye Gino, thanks for posting. back from the west, having met some Welshmen, camping in a field down at Bunnessan, this weekend. Had the craic after they had visited the Tobermory Distillery for "the tour" and supplies for the weekend. I have images of a well travelled VT85, al la Fi's. Owner also has a California+chair for him and his wife, as she cannot do pillion any longer. Good health, Myreside
ReplyDeleteGlad you got back from the West in one piece Bill, especially after encountering some drunk Welsh campers :-) (Did you tell them Italy won) I'll get the crack soon!
