A braw weekend

 Fiona manged to take some time off at the end of the week which was excellent and we were blessed with great motorcycling weather. Thursday and Friday out on the V85's for possibly the last time this year (I started getting them ready for next years adventures today. Monday)

Norton meeting on Sunday at Comrie at the cafe at Cultybraggan (well worth a visit)

Great company and good crack, some impressive miles to get to the meeting as well, just proves the Norton is a very usable motorcycle. This weeks moan and there always seems to be a moan, the amount of people using their phones when driving is incredible, I'm assuming the polis are blind these days, its scary enough out there without having to deal with drivers not paying any attention while texting and talking on their phone, mind you the police seem to be busy arresting and harassing people for daring to use their ability to talk freely about the state of the country so I can understand why they wouldn't bother with people driving blind!!

Keep on Keeping on


Fiona in full flight
And again
Braw scenery and weather
Stunning
Loch Tay
Bill, Hector and Davids steeds
Peters bike
And Ians 961, we started as apprentices together, he's obviously done better than me 
MVD, Fiona riding pillion for the day
Short distance award winners, Alan and Ian, possibly a mile from their respective houses
I like the tank
Nonsense being talked
And again
We got a fly by from a biplane!

Three out, one in

 We decided Fiona's YZF750R wasn't being used much and it seemed a shame to let it degrade just sitting so we moved it on along with our two Trials bikes which were the same, just sitting there doing nothing. Of course we had already bought a replacement bike to replace the Yamaha, another Guzzi T3, as always it happened quickly and they don't come up that regularly so I kinda jumped into it. A show queen it is not and I have been working on it since trying to get it to my standards, the good news it runs sweet as a nut.

I'm not going mad, just a bit of a tidy up and keep the Patina, which means I cant be arsed spending a fortune on shiny bits. The good news is Fiona loves it so It will be used which is what its all about .

Its third run on Sunday showed its coming along, a wee oil leak to sort out and apart from that it will do for now. Now the Nortons need a run soon so they don't get too Huffy!

Keep on keeping on.
