Slightly free

Well that was a bloody nightmare, our freedoms taken away but we are for the moment emerging from the other side. Although our government has put a 5 mile limit as an advisory, 5 mile laps of Perth aren't a great idea so we decided to look for recreation elsewhere, we stuck to Perthshire and if you think we were taking the piss try talking to the dozens of "wild campers" out despite us not being able to stay away for the night, fire smoke was pungent along the shores of Loch Tummel, pretty daft when you consider how dry its been lately. A estate worker was stabbed at Loch Cluny at the weekend by a camper at 3.30 in the morning as he probably tried to reason with them, shocking. Mind you when you kept an animal in a cage for a couple of months it would behave badly when it was finally let out, but of course we are humans but there are some pretty stupid and selfish ones out there. 
Back to motorcycling, it was glorious, just bimbling along in this incredible early summer weather, catching flies by the thousand. BMW's were put away to rest on Sunday and Fi got her Norton out after taking a half day on the Monday to enjoy what no doubt will be the last of the heat! Fi's Norton threw a wobbly at Glenalmond so we stopped and swapped bikes and I nursed the errant Commando back home and dragged out the Triumph, Fi decided she wasn't giving me my Norton back so with me Triumph mounted we set off again for a glorious afternoon, empty roads and great scenery and all on our doorstep, braw! The yellow Norton seems to have a carb issue and will be easily sorted.....hopefully.
  
Not Dull at all

Still not

Nearer home

Norton ready (or so I thought!)

Great scenery


Heading towards Kenmore
Kenmore was unusually busy so we only stopped for a photo

  1. Aye Fi and Gino, so that was "Why?" the shuttlecock tour was so quick! ;¬) Pleased to see that you managed to have a good stretch and airing.
    Good health, Bill and Kat
