Bit too far for a day trip for me - north east Scotland but you enjoy & stay safe. A few legal trails through the Galloway forest - perfect for your 450 :thumbsup:

The roads that were closed by the recent moorland fires finally opened yesterday, so today I took a ride out to check out the damage . . . it's VAST . . . the pictures really do not show how far it has spread. And as can be seen, the peat is still burning in places . . . quite a lot of places...

Thought I'd pop this up here, in case anyone is looking for a Scram 411 . . . https://www.gumtree.com/p/royal-enfield-motorbikes/royal-enfield-scrambler-2022-411-cc-/1500027005

Out for a bimble yesterday - usual low traffic loop of Cabrach, Strathdon, Lecht & Grantown. Due to a rather large wildfire that is still burning strong and heading northwards from the hills, the roads to Forres & Nairn from Grantown are shut - 3rd day now. Yesterday this led to rather a lot of...

So, do we have a sweep as too what time in the night that Mudwiz turns up??? ;) And how many tetth are left of the rear sprocket? Be great to see you there Chris :thumbsupanim: Phil, you've got soft since you gave up the farming life - a caravan named "Bluebell"! ;) Be great to see everyone...

Headed for Durness for a night under canvas, taking the long way via the Gairloch loop . . . After refuelling me & the bike at Ullapool I avoided the “Silly Wee Road” and took the big road north . . . Nice evening at the Sango Bay site chatting with a few of the many riders that were...

Not sure wether to put a thumbs up or a laughing smiley after that last photo and its description :lol: Seems like your getting at least some of your mojo back . . . even if that helmet seems determined to spoil your hols. Take care & keep smiling :) Steve T :cool:

Enjoy it? Yes, in a way! But, and this is what was on my mind on every lap of the practice that I did, will the day be as hard to ride on any of the bikes I have? And the answer was always "Yes"! The enduro style route was "doable" but the level of concentration required, even over the short...

Some pictures and words after yesterdays practice session for the D2D thats being run in August . . . Just after we arrived at the bike parking area after our short 70 mile ride from home Eldest about to enter a test on his HUGE 1200GS Youngest exiting a test . . . on my F800GS :eek: A...

Na, all the photo's are fake;)! All the midges and rain have been photo shopped out ;) Bet John was soaked through to his undercrackers :eek: Steve T :cool:

Great news . . . . for those that don't do tents ;). The music festival is no longer being held at Balloch O Dee campsite this year, so the non tent accomodation and the electric van pitches are available over the weekend of the National :respect13:. The owners are, as I type taking off the...

Hurrah, you made it :clapping::clapping::clapping: Like me, you seem to keep older computers lurking under the stairs/in the loft for theat "just in case" moment ;):thumbsup: Be great to see you again in September :motorcycle:

Some more pictures from my wanderings as I get aquainted with the little GS. Sunday past paid a visit to Strathconon . . . . . . and seeing as the sun had managed to break through the har, today I just went for a bimble a bit more local to me . . . Thinking about fitting the full on...
