6/6 for this year 18/18 I have been suffering with a bad back for last few weeks and almost didn't bother but decided I might as well be uncomfortable and awake in the garden as in bed so put tarp up in a new configuration for me lifted from the recent tarp thread, I made my bed and slept like a log...

Well done Sean for taking your own mug very sensible in our present situation

The Laverda Montjuic was my first dream bike I remember reading a review that said you accelerate and nothing much happens then you are suddenly a 1/4 of a mile down the road sounded quite exciting compared to my Honda CB200 it was also supposed to be the loudest road legal bike at the time which al...

There are some nice bikes for sure i have a few the most modern is a 2000 Triumph Sprint i also have a 1978 Yamaha XS 750 which i have had since new its been like so many stuck in the back of a garage for years i keep meaning to get on with sorting it out but end up building older british bikes of w...

4/4 I managed to get to the bivvy spot and get set up in time for the sunset ,it seemed like a good opportunity to try out the Lidl bar bag and seat pack seemed fine for a local trip . https://i.imgur.com/XnYQQBF.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yAONPgV.jpg Time to light the fire for a recreation of a well k...

Great stuff i will be joining you in spirit but not technologically if I am lucky I just about get a mobile signal and WiFi doesn't extend to the outside .

3/3 I managed to get out Friday night and it was a night of firsts .Like many others I have managed to acquire a turbo trainer my initial idea was to load up the bike and go for my daily exercise and return home for the night but decided that may have not looked great despite my innocent intentions ...

Well done Reg and happy 50th you are absolutely right it is in the small details . I will probably try a similar BAM tonight just moved into a new house and the garden doesn't have the kind of tree cover you were able to take advantage of , should provide a bit of entertainment for the neighbours at...

This is a great idea for a thread

1) Blackbirds , I love watching them and their song is a thing of wonder .

2) When you smile at a random stranger and they smile back .

3) When I am out on the bike and that moment when it all clicks into place .

I was going to suggest starting and finishing at Fort Augustus but i like ScotRoutes idea of Cannich much more

2/2 Like a lot of others it was touch and go wether I was going to get out supposed to be moving next weekend so no time for an adventure the stars were out Thursday evening and forecast said the inevitable rain would be arriving about 9 Friday morning so I packed the bike and headed of up the hill ...
