First run on the Guzzi this year
« on: January 13, 2018, 11:16:02 AM »
Took advantage of a slight warming up in the Scottish weather to get the T3 out, been moving house so for the last few weeks only stress and not much opportunity for motorcycling (plus it's been Baltic)
Only 50 miles but full of smiles, roads were pretty bad in bits as the farmers drag their fields onto the roads (which is to be expected at this time) Also passed a field of migrating Geese, scared up into the air by the Big Goose, Mrs R was on the back and managed to get the photo. All good and looking forward to many more miles in 2018 although the snow is back next week so its anyones guess when the weather window opens again.
Get that petrol use before it goes off!

You're a hardier and braver man than me, I'm sitting in here just shivering thinking about the prospect

I'm in Scotland

Might be warmer than the US but I am not going for an ice cream any time soon

Went out and put 50 miles in here in the Pacific Northwest today. Temps were just right in the mid 59’s and roads were mostly dry. Enjoy it whenever you can.

Thanks for the compliments, the T3 is a wonderful  thing to ride, now it's almost right I'm enjoying it more.
Scotland is a wonderful country to motorcycle in but the weather is shit most of the time, it doesn't get particularly cold but the ever present dampness makes it feel 10 degrees colder all the time.
On the few nice days it's one of the best places to ride (apart from the increasing number of tourists)
If anyone fancies a vacation here, get in touch and I can help with routes and ideas
