I did a thing today,totally out of character. Normally I avoid bike gatherings like the plague,preferring to ride rather than listen to bullshit,but I went along to a local classic outing,mainly because I wanted to see other triples!

It turned out to be a very enjoyable day and the company was good. I bumped into folk I hadn't seen for years and we had a good laugh. We went some bumpy back roads and the H1 was well out of shape at times,I was glad to see the smoother tarmac. :lol: Still the old girl held up well and I got to leave plenty of smoke trails. 8-)

The run finished up at Carnlough. The harbour is a magnet for bikes on a good day.

I may get a chance to be up that general direction early tomorrow,but being definite is difficult as I have family arriving towards the end of the week and I may be called for duties. :roll:

Killin for lunch.

A nice 210 or so miles in decent weather, up to 27 degrees on the way home which was a bit warm.

Loving the R but I’m still not impressed with the seats even after having them redone. The Mrs especially is complaining that 100 miles is just about her limit in one go which is a pity as it discounts it for long distance stuff.

I really must remember to take pictures when I’m out and about.

There's not to wave at on the road up to the Dyke. I live just south of the Dyke roundabout. I'll wave next time.
