This was the last of the 2023 Northern Meets
My trip up to the Newtonmore Meet was mostly dry and I arrived just after Jim who was already ensconced in the cafe… Peter arrived not long after me with friends Rob and Priya. As usual the chat was varied an interesting, Jim had already been riding around the North for a few days so it was time for him to head south for home, Peter, Rob and Priya stayed on to see more of the Highland Folk Museum. I still had to check out a September venue in Tomintoul… So off to Tomintoul… This is great country to ride through so it was lovely scenery all the way arriving in sunshine finding the venue open another plus as there were rumours that it wasn’t open.. Had a nice bacon roll washed down with a black coffee. Took the route home over the Lecht that is seriously great riding country… Arrived home rather late just after 18:00 having had a lovely day out, thanks to Jim, Peter, Rob and Priya for making it more enjoyable. Regards Keith
Thanks to Mike, Peter, Rob & Jim for making a Meet more enjoyable I rode up from East Lothian expecting to get soaked but was surprised to only have a few showers… Arrived at Meet around 11:45 Mike had just arrived as well, we were shown to a table and the device was great as was the food. Peter arrived next then Rob then Jim (his bike was going slow due to a fuel problem?) Had the usual varied conversations as we all enjoyed our lunch. Jim left first as his bike was causing him problems, the rest of us left half an hour later. There was a traffic jam for four miles or so before Perth, eventually I caught up with Jim about ten miles before the Queensferry Crossing, so I shadowed him until he turned off for Kirkliston, Jim I noticed that your left exhaust was very smoky so the problem may be on that side of the engine… Thanks again to Mike, Peter, Rob & Jim for making the Meet more enjoyable. Next Meet will be at The Highland Folk Museum Newton More on the 13th August Hope to see more of you there. Regards Keith
