It has been wet and windy and the cooncil keep making sure the gritter drivers get their overtime despite no ice or snow. We have been out but only doing the usual routes so nothing overly exiting. The weather was horrible at the weekend so were out on four wheels as quite frankly we are both fed up cleaning the bikes for longer than the time we are out enjoying the roads.</p><p>Secondly, Winter maintenance has been going well with almost all of the steeds ready for a glimpse of warmth or maybe even dry roads. So well I dragged the dreaded Velocette out to get it ready, christ, what a bugger of a bike that is, if you type "start a Velocette" into youtube and you will see why. The owners tell you that its a real "riders" bike but the truth is they are all masochists or indeed knee specialists touting for business. They are very nice when they go but it's the getting them going thats the problem, Last Friday Budge came round and confirmed I wasn't going daft with regards to setting the timing, today Myreside Bill came round and also confirmed it should go. The quest for the running Velocette continues....it will be Summer soon.</p><p>Some photos over the last 3 weeks to keep you amused;</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

We headed up towards Aberfeldy and stopped at Errichel, a posh (ish) kinda place just as you drop down to hill to Aberfeldy for lunch, despite looking like a couple of vagabonds the staff were very nice and the food good. I remember when as a motorcyclist you weren't very welcome at many restaurants or pubs or indeed campsites but thankfully that's changed in the main. The staff looked through our clorty bike gear and realised that Fiona was a nice human and could afford to pay the bill. Stunning view from where we sat and it made for a very pleasant stop. We then headed towards Tummelbridge in glorious sunshine and stopped at the wee layby just beyond the road to Schiehallion where we partook of a home brewed tea while lounging around in the dirt which obviously we are more suited to. A stunning run home and no point in cleaning the bikes because we were going out the following day.</p><p>One moan, Winter gear, its shite, no matter how much you spend, multiple zips and layers, it's heavy but it keeps you warm and sometimes dry but I was saying that I cant wait to ditch it and just get back to wearing a leather jacket and not having all the faff with multiple zips and connections to the bike for heated gear, only a small moan, honest.</p><p>Saturday and we had a job to do, well Fi had a job to do, she wanted to check a site near Dunkeld for it's performance, that basically means stopping near the site and doing technical stuff on a special test phone, because I USED to do the same I also went along to nod sagely when she commented an anything even though I didn't have much of a clue but the good thing was we included it into a run on the bikes, hurrah, I can do biking! It was wet and miserable but who cares I was out on my bike anyway, we had a braw run around the Sma Glen after and got the bikes even dirtier.</p><p>Then Sunday the sun shined and it got to double figures in temperature so that was brilliant, we managed a run over the Glenquaich road which was great and the first run over in 2024! The Polis have been moaning to the newspapers about people getting stuck on the road and have labelled it the "most dangerous road" In Scotland, well done you idiots, now people who have never heard of it will be looking out for it in Summer and what was a quiet well kept secret will be full of idiots in bikes and cars videoing it for you tube and causing chaos. (I've already done it so remember like and subscribe.....NOT)</p><p>We decided to give the Bridge of Balgie road a miss as it appeared to be snowy at the top (and we wouldn't like to be charged by PC Plod for driving on a slippy road) stunning along loch Tay to Killin and back to Tullybannocher for a cuppa, but no, it was shut, sunny day and loads of people out on bikes so lets shut the cafe, a quick stop at Cultybraggan and looks like they had the same idea. No point in serving the public it would seem! Luckily we had tea on board so we stopped at Kinkell bridge which seemed to be very warm in the sun for tea and a biscuit, so Cafe's £0 made and Rondelli's at least £25 saved, woo hoo.</p><p>Fantastic weekend and a few more miles on the bikes, love it.</p><p><br /></p>

Meanwhile it seems everyone else is trying to kill each other and we are been warned by the media that WW3 is near. Have you ever thought who that would benefit? Not you or I and not any of our family's that's for bloody sure, but the politicians? Many of them will have their fingers in an increasingly greasy pie and like all the controlling classes around the world will profit from it one way or another. Tony Blair the well known War criminal is now a multi Millionaire as well as his kids, war doesn't pay for us but it certainly pays for them. Our own Government in Scotland are too thick and too obsessed with weird stuff to have a say in the world order (anyone want to buy a dodgy campervan? or a almost new Jaguar?) but it doesn't stop them trying to speak on the world stage, what a bloody joke, lets get back to lowering taxes, improving our dire health service and maybe, just maybe, finish a bloody ferry.</p><p>All of my rant above is why I love motorcycling, when you are out on the bike you are too busy enjoying yourself and looking out for other idiots in cars and Motorhomes and sometimes meeting up with like minded people which is what we did last weekend. A meeting was organised in the borders and were joined with our good pal Budge for the ride down, it was windy, blustery would be a better description and sometimes the rain would blow through. A pit stop at George Martins house in Peebles for a blether a braw cup of tea and a gold award winning pie took our minds of the weather for a while but eventually we had to get going. It's a shortish but nice run from Peebles to St Marys Loch which is where we were camping, at one point I stopped to take a photo and could hardly keep the bike straight against the wind. </p><p>We put our new tent up for the first time (apart from when I had it up in the garden) and it took longer than our "normal" tent but not too bad, the porch area isn't great and we had to be careful where we stowed our gear to keep it out of the weather. The turnout was excellent, I knew most of the guys and girls that were there, all die hard rallyists who I've bumped into over the years in several muddy fields around the country, many of them doing big miles to get there and not many in their first flush of youth so good effort to all. Great night on the Saturday, it was a take your own beer gig and I think that worked out well. The owner fed us well on the Saturday night and Sunday morning and joined in the banter which would have been impossible if he was manning the bar.</p><p>I hardly slept for the wind (natures wind not mine) and we were up at 7.30 to get the tents packed away before breakfast, one thing became apparent, like many tents , they come out of the bag easily but don't go back in when the tent is damp and your hands are cold! Breakfast over, we set sail back towards Peebles for Petrol and then Edinburgh and Home, Budge was having problems, his R75 was jealous of the two singles and tried to imitate a single now and again however despite some stress no doubt we all got home safely. As always the pictures tell the story........</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXLuH4ra_ZdQaDKrTs6vUYqtYNfsbOOgraN-rDlkX83mOIAC1YytiZO6BGMCVleHePZ_LzciCUJYwmi7X72TgOjePtr5Ruthty_1WXcaDtszWqx9_fRT_7Oe4eP-AhZyoP77NBTHECDEpHYMcBLAL5u1BYJGO3pNQ8IjzxyJjtnSjKT0WMPg_m3VFCYIEY/s1620/P1030482.JPG" style="display: block;

We took the opportunity to get out and visited Cupar Motorcycles, its been years since I've spent a Saturday in a bike shop and we both enjoyed it. Susan in the parts department helped us try helmets on and was full of knowledge you don't get on the interweb, more planning our options than buying on Saturday but she will get the business when we make up our minds. I think the online service you get from Sportbikeshop and their competitors is excellent but you cant beat a local bike shop and I suppose if we stop using them then we'll lose them.</p><p>What else would you do on a slightly dreich day but get the bikes out for some fun anyway? We wobbled around the roads less travelled taking a very convoluted way to get home (Some would say we got lost) but we enjoyed being out and made the most of it. The roads were still worth watching though and I actually got stuck in a bit of ice, Fiona, cleaned the section but I jumped off and tried to push through and Fiona had to come back and push, the shame!

Happy to say we stopped at the Sma Glen, and Fi was warm and happy so that was good.</p><p>We met Simon there on a 750 Ural, I jealously looked over the outfit whilst reminiscing about when we were Sidecarists too. A blether and a cup of tea with someone who had been a stranger until we met, that's what I love about motorcycling, meeting people (and a cup of tea at the side of the river isn't to bad either.) We completed the lap around the Sma Glen avoiding the potholes and the ice. Soon after we got back Budge arrived for a blether which was great, mair tea and talking but eventually we had to clean the bikes before the salt dissolved them. First proper run out of the year!

I hope you all have a wonderful 2024. I know
sometimes life throws up moments of sadness but we should all try to remember
the happy times, always looking back at the laughs and good times we have had
and looking forward to the Future.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My new years resolution remains the same as always, to enjoy
myself, especially my motorcycling more.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My wishes for 2024 are that the clowns, thieves and
vagabonds in both the Scottish government and Westminster go to jail for
stealing from the working man and lining their own pockets. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a worldwide context my wish is that the rich people who
cause wars and misery and deaths the world over have an epiphany and realise
that they are only here for a short time, the same as the rest of us and get a
grip and do good not evil.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Enough of my political pontificating, when’s the weather
going to warm up? I did manage a wee run out on the R100 last week which was great
but it’s been dodgy since.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We went to France to bring in the New year, driving in the
car, no real issues (Apart from Fiona having to save a wiper arm that sheared
on the A1 by hanging out the passenger window) and the run was actually good.
France as always was brilliant, the wine was good and reasonable, the food
excellent, and the people friendly. It was windy but we did spot a few bikes
out and about which made us feel jealous.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lets all look forward to 2024 with a veil of optimism, see
you on the road....somewhere <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></p>

It appears that there are no wise men anymore just people intent on killing each other which is a sad indictment of modern times. Meaningless wars making rich people richer or more powerful whilst the poor serf's (you and I and) pick up the tab either financially or with their lives. </p><p>We are all born the same (Thankfully mostly), the same brain with a blank canvas, the same number of limbs and organs and with a fresh brain to do our best in the very short time we have on Earth, some do better than others due to a whole range of factors and similarly worse, we are not born with hatred, that is something that comes from our parents, government, religion and the media. It appalls me to look at the mess of our world just now, corruption in Government (even in our own back yard) and it makes me wonder what these people who lie, steal, kill and enrich themselves think they have a right to do it. They will not be reading this blog but always remember who is responsible, I feel there is a giant reset coming where the people will eventually go against these people, a revolution maybe. I could go on but I will stop it there.</p><p>Remember to stay happy, keep motorcycling (if you can) and ignore the lunatics that are running the asylum, have a great festive period and hopefully 2024 will be a great year for everyone. We were out today just to keep us sane for a while, wet, cold but braw!</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzB9sGcN-5_vXr-rBdcbVhnnuzPwO_JuC1mMaaER5TfwoFwa20_Wout4zBZZRgdrfD4eJJWxA3veg8bYEWXtU2GVF7qr__ImUufm3WdqUsibDPcBW8NilRXgbs3vp-YJQyEK1J56o1_Os3x5Q1oEQdOTA-89wRmLoj4y9GQ9OjbXfO3SDTz_3SG9TBerNs/s1615/P1120712.JPG" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1615" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzB9sGcN-5_vXr-rBdcbVhnnuzPwO_JuC1mMaaER5TfwoFwa20_Wout4zBZZRgdrfD4eJJWxA3veg8bYEWXtU2GVF7qr__ImUufm3WdqUsibDPcBW8NilRXgbs3vp-YJQyEK1J56o1_Os3x5Q1oEQdOTA-89wRmLoj4y9GQ9OjbXfO3SDTz_3SG9TBerNs/s600/P1120712.JPG" width="600" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Santa never brought us another bike, just as well</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT4iaKfsQNZwDhKkUouirTWl8XPVUMuJ5eZlZgC2ErOiX8bmUzdhyphenhyphenP45Pa83fI-sSjZaFmuawVtrufLZO0gPBpoISrkn0ohsQW_KDGfoh0sHPXNwL3VBxmpKggdjdAYtRV53-BSkzlqR8wbCIxzHPNDX_jZa1Vwo2RGFF_Zy19ELDaAbJ_mgXZ6f46aAKD/s1615/P1120714.JPG" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1615" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT4iaKfsQNZwDhKkUouirTWl8XPVUMuJ5eZlZgC2ErOiX8bmUzdhyphenhyphenP45Pa83fI-sSjZaFmuawVtrufLZO0gPBpoISrkn0ohsQW_KDGfoh0sHPXNwL3VBxmpKggdjdAYtRV53-BSkzlqR8wbCIxzHPNDX_jZa1Vwo2RGFF_Zy19ELDaAbJ_mgXZ6f46aAKD/s600/P1120714.JPG" width="600" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Resting</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1OcQmPjiYhxHyf2ZWg7xz6w3HLFfZpo1yflGf5AVZqrLJHovK3rYCefuqkM95DbtKinowS60POtTFmObOZUXUGw7HdN6a8iWRYA_W7Hm3_V-RYBftOgL9jSl6zMts1NAWXm32jZitc3XKAJggISpAiGfReCqc_Sk1bO4GbQnKbmImUVUW5oV-Jb_8NkZi/s1615/P1120716.JPG" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1615" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1OcQmPjiYhxHyf2ZWg7xz6w3HLFfZpo1yflGf5AVZqrLJHovK3rYCefuqkM95DbtKinowS60POtTFmObOZUXUGw7HdN6a8iWRYA_W7Hm3_V-RYBftOgL9jSl6zMts1NAWXm32jZitc3XKAJggISpAiGfReCqc_Sk1bO4GbQnKbmImUVUW5oV-Jb_8NkZi/s600/P1120716.JPG" width="600" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Warming up gloves on the engine</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiptkCpN8OwwJqxXiG5GDrDt-A4cGdl_wtJSobM0TWn3micxEtGRpiFMsk93XVs-C-fBrOC1VeZN2Wj_7M6F9sNd78p0dCVsdsoigc3Bv4QGvuRQ8q8qI_c-vTgr0SHH3E140ReJIlBi8RGXKd_kHktD_9nmC78g8MEsre9CIpcy5XA4cDCDBjeQqGGSPEi/s1614/P1120721a.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1614" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiptkCpN8OwwJqxXiG5GDrDt-A4cGdl_wtJSobM0TWn3micxEtGRpiFMsk93XVs-C-fBrOC1VeZN2Wj_7M6F9sNd78p0dCVsdsoigc3Bv4QGvuRQ8q8qI_c-vTgr0SHH3E140ReJIlBi8RGXKd_kHktD_9nmC78g8MEsre9CIpcy5XA4cDCDBjeQqGGSPEi/s600/P1120721a.jpg" width="600" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Buchanty spout looking braw</td></tr></tbody></table>Gino's Travels 2http://www.blogger.com/profile/09554529262344906062noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897843855071954212.post-15369773544497674232023-12-14T15:42:00.000+00:002023-12-14T15:42:23.401+00:00The week (and a half) before Christmas<p> Well, the weather has relented to let us out in the last week and we only have roughly a week to the shortest day, the day after that the weather will get better and the days will start getting longer. Time to make plans for next year, prepare bikes and think about the first evening run in the heat and sunshine. It's all positive as long as you don't pay attention to the news!</p><p>Sunday we had a wee run , no issues with the bikes but issues with electronics and a weird flat tyre led me to believe it was better to head home and fight another day. En route to home we spotted Budge out getting the miles in on his R 75 Beemer, well done mate, somebody has to get out and prove Bikes aren't just for Summer. </p><p>Wednesday I met up with David T at the side of Loch Earn at the old Drum up spot where like minded motorcyclists used to meet</p><p> 40+ years ago when I was just a youngster. These days it was Vincent's Triumphs and Nortons along with BMW's and MZ's making up the crowd, yesterday it was one Norton Commando (which sounded great getting thrashed down the Loch) and myself on the Airhead BMW. We spent a while talking nonsense and the occasional sense drinking our tea (or hot water) before realising it was getting cold and going our different ways Home, a grand day out indeed.</p><p>Keep on keeping on......</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Just as well Both the UK and Scottish Government can't count past 10, if they could they would maybe realise to stop wasting our tax money........</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y2BxNk1nkGY?si=7Mj0Xwm0C3Qjs9V2" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>Gino's Travels 2http://www.blogger.com/profile/09554529262344906062noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897843855071954212.post-14999502272852964192023-12-05T12:02:00.000+00:002023-12-05T12:02:54.970+00:00Nae Moans<p> So December it is, the weather has been a bit Decemberish which is to be expected, as always at this time of year there are occasions where it isn't clever or sensible to take the bike out (Unless you are going on a long trip) So Sunday saw us out in the Transit, not quite the same, not at all in fact but it was warm and relatively safe. I knew Glenquaich would be dodgy so I decided to try and get over it, the first warning just before the top was when I saw 2 cars abandoned in the ditch, matter of fact the range rover was abandoned on its side with the airbags deployed! We started the descent just at the loch at the top and stopped to take some photos. A guy coming the other way told us that the road into Kenmore was blocked by two cars and they wouldn't be going anywhere soon so we turned round and went back. It reminded me of the time not long ago when we were on the bikes and tried to get over it in snow and Ice, at one point we were struggling for grip so I asked Fiona to watch and see if I could get any further , of course the laws of Physics and the coefficient of friction overcame my foolhardiness and I fell off, Fiona had to walk up to help me and the two of us struggled to manhandle my bike back to the point where we managed to make our way safely home. It just goes to show, idiocy has always been one of my traits and is sometimes encouraged by Fiona.</p><p>Looking forward to getting out on two wheels soon and not like the Range Rover who's driver thought that two wheels in the ditch would be good! </p><p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

The title of the blog is because I renewed our car insurance online, it seemed like a good price and today I thought I would check up to see if the policy was ok, I couldn't access it online so had to speak to a person on the phone, the issue was that somehow I had put the Date of Birth down wrong (due to a moment of stupidity using the drop down box online) My birthday was down as May where as I'm sure you all know (take note) it's June. Now to change the date to the correct one I was charged £35 and £25 admin fee, so £60 because I hadn't got the date right (which I would have noticed well before the policy started if they had sent me a printed copy which they didn't) A very bitter phone call later and eventually they waived the £25 admin fee (Mrs R had to take over the call because my power of reasoning had been replaced with rage) So Bank of Scotland who I have banked with since I was 18, paid them thousands in Mortgage repayments in the past never mind about the thousands in interest with personal loans during my racing days and who have quite happily benefited from the cash in the past from my business account and my personal accounts and who as a taxpayer we saved them when all the banks got it wrong in 2008 cant see it as a mistake and still steals money from me, Highway robbery the modern way!</p><p>Thieves vagabonds and bankers should all be lumped together under the one umbrella! Oh and politicians!</p><p><br /></p><p>

So I got my breakfast after all, transpires the evil landlord wants Tim out so he now has until May to make some money and set up another venture, I will keep supporting him until then, if you fancy a cafe try the tearoom at Rait Antique centre, keep Tim busy until May and let me know if you can recommend other cafe's in Perthshire.</p><p>Mrs R suggested we do some painting since it was a terrible day, now painting is not a hobby of mine but I couldn't find an excuse to get out of it, fair play, Fiona done most of the work while I sulked in the corner. We were talking that evening (During wine time) about the number of Whales beaching themselves and I suggested it was because they had accidentally heard the news and were depressed about the total arse all the governments are making around the world so thought they would commit suicide to show how pissed off they were. (Either that or it was suggested they could paint the bathroom ) :-)</p><p>Sunday normal service was resumed, my bathroom did indeed look better after a coat of paint and even the weather was kind to us so we set off on a run over Glenquaich , at this time of year you are never sure when it will be passable so best to make the most of it. A bit of Drama at Kenmore when the Air Ambulance picked someone up and landed in the football pitch there. They flew up the loch but the mist obviously stopped them finding a landing spot so they landed in the village and waited for the Ambulance, even that looked dodgy enough to me. Why is this service a charity? We waste so much money on shite and yet this essential service is reliant on public subscriptions, answers on a postcard please. The run home was damp in bits but I really didn't care, this is reality, not the boring stuff in my mind , Fi washed the bikes when we got home whilst I gave the bathroom another coat, funnily enough I didn't mind, it's all in the mind.</p><p>Just remember to get your biking drug and everything is rosy </p><p><br /></p>

I don't think there is much forward planning on these things or common sense, "the forecast says it might be icy tonight so lets get the gritters out, doesn't matter if its going to be all washed away tomorrow" It's like the blinkered response to the last flood, "Nobody told us it would rain, that's why we didn't close the flood gates"</p><p>So funny if it wasn't so tragic, funny I had a strange dream the other night that David Cameron was made a Lord so he could get back in the cabinet through the back door, then I woke up and realised it wasn't a dream and it actually happened. I just wish my other Dreams would come true especially the one where everybody got on and we could travel unhindered and people could live their lives without fear and without war.</p><p>Anyway enough nonsense, Saturday I was left to my own devices and had a good run on the R100 BMW, I realised the small roads were salt free and took advantage, some nice photographic opportunities and sunshine made my day, I even saw a couple of other Motorcycles out and about. I then had an idea of trying to take photos without getting off the bike, not the best way you might think but it's the start of what I'm sure will be a world best seller of "Photos from the Saddle". Riding along I spotted a 4x4 off the road and on it's side near Gleneagles, obviously the all terrain capabilities didn't include corners on a small country road! The police had done their bit by putting police tape near it so we, the general public know they are on the case, later on just outside Milnathort there was a Tesla in a field, obviously not on purpose and if it was a note to Driver, they are not off road vehicles. That got me thinking, what happened? did the autopilot think the road was straight? did it fancy a bit of off roading, did it perhaps see a electric tractor in the field and fancy a bit of positive to negative mating or even positive to positive (which would have caused a big explosion no doubt) Anyway, these thoughts go on in my head and blot out the realities of the real world, whatever that is.</p><p>Sunday my partner in crime was back in the saddle and we took the 650 BMW's out, they have seen so many things in their short lives it keep both our brains from reality, reliving moments "on the Road" Once again we took the small roads thus avoiding the salt and by and large the general public and it was wonderful, some photos taken and we turned up at Cultybraggan camp only to be disappointed that the cafe was closed, obviously lack of trade in the winter? Whatever it will be spring before we try again, Luckily Tullybannocher was open and doing a roaring trade, met a couple from Bellshill on a 650 custom type Royal Enfield, the rider had done 5000 miles on it since the end of August, he had only got into Motorcycling a couple of years ago and had over 20,000 miles under his belt, fair play and proves there's hope for the Motorcycle industry after all. We wobbled back on the same roads, avoiding the suicidal Pheasants which seem to get more stupid year on year and Fiona narrowly avoided a huge Buzzard on the Madderty road who flew up with its dinner in its beak and within millimeters of Fiona's front tyre, how it managed to avoid contact I don't know but I'm sure it will have needed a toilet break, </p><p>Weirdly the bikes weren't even that dirty so that ended a great weekend, lets see what nonsense this week brings (and hopefully a stop to the incessant rain and dullness) Get out there and enjoy it, it's better than Eastenders (mind you that's where the next member of the cabinet might come from......)</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I enjoy seeing it when its done but sometimes I lack enthusiasm, I know people make a living out of it but I'm lucky, I don't do it for fame or money (Just as well) and sometimes the whole you tube thing gets to me, notice all the videos that start with a "Disaster" "whats going wrong" or "Murdered by a womble" on the opening screen just to try to get people to click on their videos, It's false advertising, the Wombles aren't real (Fiona just told me that yesterday) Anyway here is a boring video, narrated by a boring person about our Holiday, if you don't like it you get your money back, matter of fact since it doesn't cost anything I'll give you double your money back.</p><p>Spoiler alert, I'm doing the can can.....just not in the video</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>

Followers of this blog will realise I am not the biggest fan (even though up until last week we still had 2!) But i started wondering if the older airheads are a good buy at the moment, I managed to find a very low mileage one on Ebay for a good price and last weekend we went down to Leeds in the van to pick it up. The Journey was uneventful except for taking the road through Bradford, despite the state of the place we found out its a Low emission Zone so I had to pay £9 to travel through their shitty streets full of rubbish and what looked like derelict houses, I was miffed to say the least.</p><p>Anyway, Monday I wen't over the bike carefully, it's far from a show queen which is ok as it will be used this Winter but it's in good condition. Tuesday I went for an inaugural run and was quite impressed, it's the 4th airhead I have had , all the others were winter bikes and commuters and to be fair they were very reliable. The bike goes well and even stops as BMW put proper brakes on them in 1980, so far I have been quite impressed (apart from the effort it takes to get it on the centre stand) Lets see how this winter pans out. I also MOT'd the 650 BM's this week so that will be the weekend bikes.</p><p>I'm glad to get out anytime to keep me from looking at the depressing news, quite apart from death and disruption there scarcely seems to be a day going by without more wastage from the bunch of clowns in Holyrood (never mind Westminster) MSP expenses have topped 25 Million this year, well done guy's girls and whatever else, this to not deliver ferries, bugger up the NHS and another cracker I heard this week to spend £53 MILLION on the Tomatin to Moy part of the A9 Dualling with not a spade being put in the earth. Of course not to mention some obviously thick Health secretary incurring a £11K phone bill for his holiday to Morocco for using his Ipad (which the tax payer will pay for) , Christ man buy a sim when you get in and it costs £10 for plentiful Data to do whatever you would do on holiday.</p><p>Thank God I have a motorbike (or 3) to avoid getting too wound up, BTW also heard that the Cooncil aren't getting an insurance payout for Bells sports centre following the flooding because......it flooded because of the Council's incompetence, ye couldny make it up.....</p><p>Bikes. photos now...... and happy face</p><p><br /></p>

The great news is that I seem to have Fiona's Yellow Commando running smooth, so much so she couldn't believe it and kept commenting on how brilliant the bike was all day, MVD is also in good form and was running well, complete with new oilpump (Second attempt at Andover Norton supplying one that fitted) So last weeks stress dealing with shit Norton spares was worth it. The bad news was we got wet, very wet, but we didn't care, we were both happy to get out on the bikes anyway. </p><p>Sunday and all our gear was wet so we went to St Andrews in 4 wheels, probably just as well as the roads were flooded everywhere, there wasn't much chance of Sunbathing or even a round of Golf (A hobby I gave up when I was 17 due to the lure of Motorcycles) but some crazy windsurfers were out enjoying the weather, another Hobby I won't be taking up any time soon.</p><p>The clocks Changed and this morning I was confused, not at the time change but because it was dry and there was a hint of blue sky, after I got up and manually deleted all my whatsapp messages (in case somebody needed them for a public enquiry) I decided not to stay in and rant about why a lengthy jail time would be appropriate for all these politicians who made us commoners suffer during Covid, but decided to take the T3 out to see some of Perthshires finest potholes which was excellent, the Autumnal colours and quiet roads put my mind at rest. So there we have it, another weekend but not all about storms, bikes can be quite waterproof and can be enjoyed even when the rider isn't. Take it easy out there and don't let the weather depress you too much.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE21pibfmZ4-n2awcMZBR_ryiGcU3EcrB1Gr1v-TXxeUMgRXPox4IzyRM7qj6b05rekOs7PDT_TE0wA33FFcO3Yab6VOX3xXCeuYXj31YTiXmwZY7c7Ce8Bz2AX7W9S7hKBtVH2qsxDuhnC7ofFvst9JHDOIbzrxiPr0O5DdEcDN18Vyms4KyA1tJE5s0H/s1615/P1120615.JPG" style="display: block;

No point in philosophising on what is just basic human stupidity and for the most part greed so I'll stop there. This week saw some of the UK and particularly this part of Scotland bearing the brunt of a particular storm, people were killed, peoples houses washed away and peoples livelihoods ruined. It would be easy to sit at home and wring your hands exclaiming ochone ochone woe is me but luckily I have a motorcycle and the weather god stopped the storm and gave us a nice but cold day for our Tattiehowkers meeting at Tullybannocher.</p><p>Fiona and I set off early on my Mk3 850 Commando with Fiona on Pillion (saves me cleaning two bikes) The sun was bright and peace seemed to be restored to the world as I plodded my way to Comrie, the roads a bit mucky, not from the rain but because the Council had decided to salt the roads to exacerbate the mess from storm whatever it was called. A great turnout and as always it was great to see everyone, a good blether was had by all but unfortunately we left after only three hours of talking to get home for another appointment. The ride home was a bit warmer and I had stopped shivering enough to enjoy the wonderful view, once again motorcycles and motorcyclists saved the day! </p><p>Like every storm it eventually has to stop and eventually the good weather returns, let hope the warring factions and very unhappy people in the world get this through their brains so I can start planning more trips to far away places which have so much to offer and who's people deserve a better life.</p><p>Pictures tell part of the story, there were many more bikes there but do you ken how much film is these days.........</p>

It was on the Sunday we were leaving Rocchetta to head North so we couldn't go on the run (maybe a blessing) but we had breakfast and saw them all off. This is in the main square in Dolceaqua next to the church, I have to say the churchgoers coming out of early morning mass didn't blink an eyelid and merged seamlessly with the motorcyclists for their early morning coffee, the way it should be. </p><p> </p>

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!</p><p>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!</p><p>A wee video to show you what you missed....... </p><p><br /></p>

Heading for Chiavenna and heading North on the SS36 to the Spuglia Pass, we ended up in a bit of a convoy with motorhomes and some locals which wasn't great so we stopped off at the side of the road for a break before joining a quieter section, the obligatory stop at the top for the photo and the sign is totally covered with stickers now, seems to be a "thing" </p><p>A nice ride down into Switzerland towards Splugen and then via a service station to get royally ripped off for gas and for our Vingettes for both bikes, over 40 Euros per bike use their roads, time we started reciprocal charging. We stopped at the Romantically named Chur (reminded me of sick) and found the very busy campsite, 40 Euros for our tent but they did have nice toilets and an on site cafe where we got royally ripped off again, don't you just love the Swiss, bankers to the whole (corrupt) world and still manage to maintain a superior attitude over the rest of us, thats why you get ripped off, we are the poor people and have to pay to see and contribute to their wealth, the country who's sole contribution to world peace has been the Swiss Army Knife, anyhow it was nice but the 12 euros for a dash of Bannantines stuck in my throat a bit. </p><p>The following morning we packed up and headed into much cheaper Germany, the Black forest to be precise to the very nice town of Gengenbach which turned out to be a gem. Reasonable prices and a hotel suite the same size as my house, people were great and it was good to spend a day off the bike looking around</p><p>Friday started well and before long we were wrestling with the traffic on the Autobahn past Frankfurt before stopping with our friends Tomas and Andrea for the night, as always with then there was a small party! Great fun and great people which like many we only met through our live of Motorcycling. Saturday we left and had the day of hell through the crazy roadworks through Koln and Dusseldorf, lots of filtering, diversions and a never ending feel of being lost but after a very stressful day we found our digs for the night in the small town of Wesel, just North of the roadworks from hell and on the German side of the Dutch border before Arnhem. An excellent choice by Fiona, nice people, good food and a nice place to stay.</p><p>Sunday we rode through Holland, the roads are limited to 60mph even though they have some 6 lane motorways, cleverly on a Sunday because there are no trucks on the road they close the outside two lanes just to make it feel busy, looks like the politicians are mental everywhere. We made it to the boat and that was the end of another adventure!</p>

The guy who runs the cafe has a BMW GS and remembered us and asked if we fancied going on a memorial run that Sunday, starting at 10.30 from Dolceaqua. We explained we were heading North towards Alba on Sunday but we would stop in for a blether. </p><p>We arrived in Rocchetta to be met by Bruno, we were to stay in the village at one of his houses which was brilliant as it was just down the stair from his Mum Tina which made it easier to visit her, we spent a great weekend with the family, the usual overeating and some light refreshments. Sunday came too soon and we said our goodbyes and headed to see the local bike club heading off on their run, they tried to persuade us to join them but we had miles to do so after waving them all off we headed back to the highway, First towards Savona then North towards Alba, we got fed up with the crazy driving and headed onto the small roads and got lost! Its funny a GPS each and a Mobile and we still weren't sure where we were.</p><p>Obviously we finally found our way (or I would have been writing this in Italy asking for International rescue to come and get us) and headed into Piedmont and the wine growing region where Barollo wine comes from, very tidy and orderly, It was overcast so not great for picture taking unfortunately. Our Hotel was superb (and not expensive ) and had a great view over the Vineyards, a pleasant evening was spent with superb food and superb wine.</p><p>Monday arrived and we headed North towards Milan, never a great experience but a bit better that the roadworks that have blighted to route towards Monza (an then Lecco) for years appear to have finished. We eventually saw the lake and soon turned off for Mandello Del Lario, home of Moto Guzzi! We got booked into our hotel and rushed up to the factory for a look round the Mueseum (again) The thunder, lightning and rain started and we sent an hour sheltering in the best possible place before heading back to wards the lakeside to enjoy a beer in a nice pub. All very civilised indeed, part 3 to follow.......</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtoaOjyJMOIPQGLRCIitYOf8nsgn3-N6PY_2FtV_tQ7D7_Eqo2KNYXJZfHM9cquffum2X6Q4Dg-3KYzoTeMWnvogYdOYPprZRLHwoR6BFshqWGajXvvOS7j-ha_xuC7EKbT8D8QD5H3oL8oWoRrZ6iWg3nT_N8Ulf56ZdDT8B_b3QOhodI001LYkCK7S-H/s1620/DSC03393.JPG" style="display: block;

We stopped at the services just after the turnoff to the ferry, there used to be a little Chef here but its now a burger King and Greggs so I opted for a sausage roll (well two) just to ensure the Rennies got a work out later. The Ferry queue was efficient and we were quickly on the ferry. The usual tying down completed and we relaxed ready for the Sunday ride to Paris. </p><p>Europe doesn't allow artics to run on Sunday so it should have been quiet but Holland never is, Belgium was worse, especially the Antwerp ring, the normal chaos with lots of filtering, and eventually the busyness of Paris, I won't try to explain how crazy it is, we eventually found our hotel just outside the peripherique. The speedo on my bike showed 38 degrees just before our turn off so tempers were short whilst I made a few navigational errors. We decanted our stuff into the hotel and found our underground secure parking a street away and then found a bar! We had a couple of (expensive) beers and some food before going back to the hotel to get out of our bike gear and getting ready for our night at the Moulin Rouge, we had free tickets to pick up and got the full VIP treatment not having to queue with the normal punters. We enjoyed the show and met Micky after and were taken to their normal after hours bar nearby, good to catch up, one of her pals came along and we all had a great night, 4am we arrived back at our hotel, normally thats morning almost! </p><p> </p>

We took about an hour to get through the worst of it, an hour of very forgettable motorcycling.</div><div>For once we were glad to get on the Toll Road to get some peace from the craziness, after a full day we were nearing Dijon where we were going to camp but we were knackered so found the nearest Campanile (Cheap hotel) which was in Avallon and got a much needed sleep.</div><div>Tuesday we rode on the small roads eventually past Grenoble, the scenery was amazing and the roads quieter , we stopped for the night a nice campsite near Gap which I could recommend.</div><div>Wednesday we rode down to Puget Theriers to a campsite we have used before, once again highly recommended, we chilled out and had a day off from Motorcycling, enjoying the town and the Sunshine before our ride over the Border to Italy, but thats the next part..</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I am not going to moan today because I dont have the time to write the equivalent word count of War and Peace to express myself fully. Nortons have been well used including my old faithful MVD which does not appear in this Video, glad to say after changing out the rubbish (New) bits for new ones its back to its former self, there could still be improvements but all will be revealed in future. Its Friday night impression of the "Deepwater Horizon Spill" (Look it up) was only temporary so I think its now OK again. Watch the video and enjoy wonderful Perthshire!</p><p> </p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nEWEoWisxLE?si=YlrDDkxYTpN0eQ4W" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>Gino's Travels 2http://www.blogger.com/profile/09554529262344906062noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897843855071954212.post-20661226411325497872023-08-29T17:07:00.005+01:002023-08-29T17:07:56.315+01:00Avoiding the rain, avoiding people, avoiding roadworks<p>Well there has been plenty to avoid lately, where do I start? The weather has been changeable to say the least, August in Scotland has been great for the weeds and Midges but not much good for motorcycling. The tourists have been out in force with their motorhomes, caravans and generally shit driving, the roadworks are a joke with Perth Council in particular trying to keep us in our homes due to their roadworks incompetence but at least we have our motorcycles which generally allow us to escape all of these annoying things that the great unwashed and non motorcyclists impose on us.</p><p>So although I've started with a moan we have been out enjoying our bikes and getting the miles in, we have been out on "Mismatched" bikes (if there is such a thing) and matched bikes (the same applies) Mainly we have been putting the miles in around Perthshire and adjacent counties which is a tremendous environment to enjoy the great outdoors....at speed (Within the legal environs of course).</p><p>We have had the V85's serviced ready for our upcoming Euro trip which as always is an expensive experience but necessary to keep the warranty up so they are ready to go. Fiona has used her YZF750 and is gelling with it and of course we have used our Commando's (a lot)</p><p> </p>
