The weather has changed, to be honest still not bad although there seems to be a bit more rain about but after the great summer we have had no complaints. The roses have suffered a bit but really who cares and the grass has been only growing very slowly but that's a bonus.
The last weekend in August we managed a wee trip out on the R100 and the T3, two very well matched bikes, we took turns and we both overall preferred the T3 although the R100 was a close second.
Some bad news with the deaths of two friends, Russel Clink from the borders who used to organise the Scottish Guzzi rally and George Peddie from Perth, a long time member of the Norton club and a regular attender of many overseas Norton events, RIP lads you will both be missed.
We had a Guzzi meeting in Dunkeld after Russels funeral in Melrose (which had a big Guzzi contingent) with 4 of us camping at the campsite at Inver (Only 12 miles from the house but we couldn't let the side down) Liz came up in the car to join us on Saturday night.
I met Steve from Aboyne on his nice MK5 Lemans who it transpired was local to Perth before he moved away to more exotic climes, small world, we had many friends in common which is always the way, on Sunday I met up with an old pal Andy Cameron and his wife Elaine who were caravanning on the same site, once again a small world.
I have met many people through our hobby and hopefully will meet many more, meanwhile keep the sunny side up and just keep on keeping on.
