A picture a day...biker banter (Vol 5)

[Mad Jock]

The wait was worth it. Finally arrived this morning, weather just too good to waste. Number 80/250.

Quick after work ride since the weather was so nice. We stumbled across a photo shoot and they took a few pics using my mates bike. I had to make do with a pic next to a cool 59 VW Bus. Nice but not as nice!

Joined the ranks of the work shy/skivers/called in sick ranks and had a very pleasant 200 mile round trip to Sunny Hunny today, plenty of people out and about to make the most of the weather, I think that will be about my riding lot for 2018, been an exceptionally good biking year.

Top man. If you see a chap on a red Africa Twin waving in admiration of your CCM around East Lothian it's me.

These look even better in the metal than they do in pics - I like

Will do. I'm in the Gifford area, and the CCM is just the machine for a wee blast over the hills via Longformacus to Duns, then a huge choice of Borders back roads to play in.

It's not going to see much running until next summer. Open conical filter precludes riding in the rain, and there's no fun running in freezing conditions either, and I have the GS for those sort of days anyway.

If you want to see it in the flesh, pm me and we can discuss that further.

I see Saltire have a charity run down the Borders way on Sunday - OK, Galashiels and Peebles so not quite 'your' Borders but South of Edinburgh anyway...which is bandit country to me, but if it's a decent day I'll venture down and risk life and limb with the natives.

I'm borders. There's some great roads here (A701 & A708 for starters) but I'm all about Dumfries & Galloway at the moment as I'm feeling a bit like I've overdone the highlands these last few years. Dumfries has of windy roads and single track/forrestry commission stuff around the forrest which is great (maybe the latter not so good on the Indian). If you can avoid the A75/A77 there's bugger all tourist traffic too.

Hired a cottage and took the family there the other week, brought the adventure bike and crashed it on an unclassified forresty road miles from help. Tremendous.

We have a holiday place in D&G its an "almost forgotten" area with some great roads that are never that busy

You've got some hand towels and what looks like Yellow tape in front of the lamp.
