Very nice . I did the Hebrides by bicycle a few years ago . Started at Fort William , Mallaig , Skye , Uig , round North Uist anti clockwise , down to Eriskay , across to Barra and across to Oban . I go to Scotland by motorcycle most years too . Nice videos but some explanation of the logistics would be helpful.

I've overtaken the Flying Scotsman on the M6 . The locomotive was being transported on a low loader so I slowed down for a look .

Don't listen to this lot . It's a CG 125 . The only thing I can see that's altered is that someone has painted the engine and mudguard black .
-
How are you both otherwise ?
-
Well maybe I've got the wrong impression then . Easy to do when , after all , it's just words on a phone screen . I just felt like derailing the thread a bit with a biscuit based ramble . Seemed like a good idea at the time . Have a pleasant evening .

They would if you had a sense of humour . And if you didn't have a niggling dislike of everything I post .

There doesn't seem to be a lot anyone can do with Kevin's knowledge other than become knowledgeable . I've got a liquid cooled bike and an air cooled bike and there's not a lot I do about that .

Kevin must be so busy typing that he never leaves the house .

My dad took me to Coventry Station in the 60's to witness the last of the steam locomotives .
-
Really ? I don't know what you mean . All I can see is something that looks like a giant Bellend .

If someone takes the lid off the pen for her .

I've been forced to pay less again this year . It this carries on they will be paying me .

William Shatner has always been aware of the limits of his talent but a read of his extensive career will show that despite this he never gave up . Unlike some of the fragile , talentless twats that abound these days , he never gave up . I admire the bloke .
-
An illogical decision .
-
On this day William Shatner went into space . Listening to his reaction afterwards moved me to tears . This should have happened years ago . NASA could have made Space Shuttle places available to artists , poets and musicians or anyone who would be able to express their feelings about the experience of space flight .

Ok , I was basing my assumption on the spark plugs being on opposite sides . But even if the engine did fit you've still got to fit everything else .
-
I very much doubt it . I don't actually think the engines are the same so there's no reason to believe the frames will be either .
-
As long as my MOT guy rides a Harley chop with open pipes and an exposed belt primary I'm not going to lose any sleep over this .
-
Thank you Kevin .
-
I think it's what's called a vent to atmosphere . It probably wouldn't have been clear when the bike was new . As long as it isn't blocked I wouldn't worry about it .
-
A re-editing of history here I think .
-
Here's an idea I came across recently . No need for crash bars . As soon as the bike hits the ground it simply bounces back up again .
-
It's survived 35 years , why now ?

Anyone seen one of these fake vids from foreign parts where they pull some bike out of the jungle which has been deliberately painted with red mud to resemble rust ? They then proceed to "Restore " the bike to its former glory by just giving everything a good clean .
