Yes, Indeed, Lee.. but if weren't for the fact that my bones break too easily these days, or that Highland Red Deer are a constant hazard to motorists (a potential death sentence for the motorcyclist), I'd still like to have a motorbike. The Highlands have an almost magnetic pull on Bikers- from all over Europe; but every year we have quite a few fatalities; with Deer representing an ever-increasing threat. That's because their numbers are not managed by natural predation, nor man even, these days. That said, The Highlands provide not only a stunning landscape, but also a real test of riding skills.Model Builder 4 wrote:Sounds like you had a few lucky escapes Roy biking can be a very hazardous hobby, the front cover of that Haynes manual looks a far more gentile pastime I've got a good few years to reach pension age yet and the way it keeps rising I'll be working until I'm 80
Cheers, Lee.
I always fancied a wee Ducati, personally, but failing that the Norton Interpol 2 (Wankel engine).., or maybe a vintage BSA.
