What you doing this weekend?

[fastbob]

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 .

Today I finished a table for the trailer

split in 3 sections so it fits nicely inside the trailer.

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.

Who's noticed what the picture is on the July page of the MBF Calendar ? Luckily there are perforations so I can look at my bike all year .

[fastbob]

Any old layby .

That would be a cracking view if the mountains weren't in the way.

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....

[Amayah]

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

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  

[Amayah]

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 

[Bender]

@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.

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.

[husoi]

If I manage to finish refurbishing the seats for the Shadow will go for a ride around the highlands  

(weather permitting)
