yep, I'm really lucky to have the national park just a few miles away Weather there looks a lot better than it did for our ride last year!  My arm's a bit better, and I can now pull the clutch lever in on the Interceptor so I've had a couple of rides on it this weekend, including one with the Royal Enfield club. I've been out with them a few times on my SDs - they're not fussy what bike you have, but this was my first time on an Enfield. Brian, the organiser, was a bit embarrassed as everyone apart from Gill & him was on one! He'd left his Bullet at home & come on his Bonnie.  We met Chris for the first time - another happy Interceptor rider   Is that Brian's green triumph? If it is, I know him, we all used to stop at The Carbeth Inn. Gravel Bob and Johnny on their triumphs, they used to hold their meets there until they fell out with the owner BOB, can I say, easily done. Nice people on lovely machinery. Not seen them in a good few years Gee. |

I'll ask him next time I see him Gee, but he's only had the Triumph a couple of years. He kept eyeing the Interceptors up, so I'm not sure how much longer he'll have it |

Taller fella with spectacles, short dark hair if my memory serves me correctly. Cheers. Gee. |

Great pics guys.
In the past 48 hours I have had 8 hours broken sleep, just the way things have ran, not complaining.
Well ok, apart from not getting out on the bike today, the Harley had its 5000 miles service today.
I booked it into a local dealer, only 30 mins away and all went very well.
Facts Garage in Falkirk are amazing, very knowledgeable.
But I was soooo pooped my bed was severely calling.
The Stella has well kicked in now.
Its maybe time to eat, but i love you all.
Stella is well in.
Hehehehe.
Gee.

so no guesses on the what this is?  Well the owner fancied a CL, but started out with a CB250RS & came up with this. Drew a lot of attention, so I'm not the only one who likes it. Unfortunately, I know someone else who likes it, also fancies a CL & happens to have 2 RSs  |

As well as a large lawn, often full of bikes, the owner Tony East, also has a nice collection of old bikes, mostly Brits. There's a row of Nortons  and a lonely Bantam at one end of a row of Triumphs   There's a row of Beezas, of course, and Matchless & Velos plus several more unusual models  The museum's open summer weekends & weekdays for TT & Classic TT, when the lawn is full of visiting bikes & it's a regular ride for us - there's a cafe, so you can grab a coffee & sit on the lawn admiring the bikes - hope we're back to 'normal' next year  |
