    Oh Happy Day

    What a glorious day – bright sunshine, drying roads and a thrumming F8GS between my legs. Seeing as all of the above factors were in place I set course for the lovely bendy roads that lead to Inverness (none of them main roads of course). Popped in my Mr Lowflyer but the pensioner was out . ...

    NC on the NC . . . or The Longest Day Run

    Have done a run north for several years on the longest day (if the weather is on my side), always with the intention of watching the sun NOT set.

    Not done one of these for a while (wonder why), but here goes anyway. Bike wise I’ve sold 2 machines and bought 2 machines – no surprises there then! Started the year with the 2014 BMW F800GS. Bit of a “keeper” this one! Well I’ve had it for over two and a half years, so it must be, right...
