Classic club Meet

Well another good weekend and the rain stayed away which is good, Sunday a smallish run on the disgraced BMW after last weeks mishap, a new battery sorted it out. The Motobatt battery which I run on the BMW's are good but there is a problem, after a while and after a few tightening up of the terminals they develop a fault, I've seen a couple of times now, the first time in Tijuana in Mexico and then again in the smokey mountains of Virginia and now in Perth Tesco. The taking off of the battery a few times and the constant tightening up of the battery seems to cause a fault in the internal parts which although leave the battery able to look live it doesn't seem to produce enough current, Anyhow a new battery and glad to say both bikes were trouble free.

Sunday and a run to Yetts of Muchart for the Classic club, a great run there and back on the small roads and a amazing turnout, a fair few modern bikes but one day they may decide to get into the classic scene and at the end end of day we are are motorcyclists together no matter what you drive anyway. Great to see so many old friends and blether somewhat briefly to a lot of them, some times I feel these meetings are a bit like speed dating (not that i'd know) but I've found if you don't try to get round as many people you can you miss someone, I still unfortunately managed to miss a few , sorry I'll get you the next time.

Great Bikes and in the main fantastic and friendly and people, let keep it that way. we were lucky to spot some photographers of the way home waiting home waiting for a steam train, well worth a wait for a photo.
