fastbob Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 A nice long run today to the Norfolk HD Club Sportster day . I took the A14 which is one of the most boring roads imaginable so I came back on the A47 for the sake of variety . Not too many Sportsters there but it was a very pleasant afternoon . I even won a rosette for the exceptional condition of my bike . 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anchors onto the trailer's locks and have 2 removable legs. Is kept straight by means of the central locking bar while the latch catches keep it together. Made out of plywood (table) softwood (legs) oak (locking bar) PVC frame and H joining profile. Think that this completes the trailer Have you got room for the kitchen sink as you've got just about everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Weather looking to be another Scottish summer weekend... Probably refurbishing the seats for the shadow and look for boots. The ones I have at the moment decided to become water dams, rains a bit and I get them full.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amayah Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hope you are wrong and the weather is nice tomorrow going to take a run down to Oban. Hopefully it won’t be too busy heading down the A82 by Loch Ness. The Ft Rd down from Inverness can be a bit crowded with tourists looking for Nessie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ft Rd down from Inverness can be a bit crowded with tourists looking for Nessie One of the lads from Fort Augustus lost a few toes last year down by the Loch, got a bit carried away overtaking tourists, till one unexpectedly turned into a Loch side lay-by. Lovely roads but can be dangerous as they all can be. Biker died drumnadrochit last week 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amayah Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Yeah I’ve been using the route Inverness to fort Augustus since a spotty teenager way back when the roads were quiet. Think the biker you might be referring too is from not too far from here. Won’t put his name as it might be disrespectful. Nice guy. It was on the road to drumnadrochit but happened close to a Inverness Sadly there was the three kids hit a few miles further out not long ago either where the 16 yr old sadly died. It’s a great Rd for bikes but just now with a huge staycation boom and a lot of people not used to driving rural roads it’s incredibly busy and people dawdling along looking for Nessie. It’s like the NC500 too much traffic. Inverness has a bike meet night on a Tuesday and a couple of weeks ago it was to ft Augustus and the loop back round through foyers etc. Nice wee evening run and in the evening Road is much more fun and a lot quieter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 @Amayah foyers side is much better The Loch Road has always been bad, the blacksmiths son from Invermoriston died in an accident pretty much first trip out when he got his car, that's prob over 50yrs ago, pretty much all the kids in ft Augustus when I was young had full roll cages and all wanted to be rally drivers but without the skill required.

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 If you're in N Wales this weekend avoid the A5 at Corwen, there's roadworks with a convoy system which is causing massive tailbacks. At least the view is nice where I stopped. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 If I manage to finish refurbishing the seats for the Shadow will go for a ride around the highlands (weather permitting) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
