Thank you,been riding motorcycles since I was 18 and ride a 2018 Harley Davidson Street Glide.It relieves my stress being a mom of 2 sons whom are 14 and 16.Even ride it to the John Deere,Kubota and IH Case dealership picking up small parts.I own a farm equipment,tractor and heavy equipment repair shop.Even has helped me through my hard time when I lost my husband in January to cancer.A veteran as well,did 8 proud years in the United States Marines.

Sunday, I took the bike into church with me and headed off for a ride after the service, the rain was spitting a bit in Edinburgh but looking at the weather radar t was likely to clear up if I headed north so I set off for St. Andrews, the golfing town, not to be confused with the peado prince. I headed up the M90 to Milnathort then took the A91 east through Cupar to St. Andrews, the plan was to have lunch and then take the coast road back to the Forth Road bridge. As it was St. Andrews was ramming with tourists so I just rode through and headed onto the coast road, the sun was shining and it was nice and warm, the sea was glassy smooth and it was a great day for a ride out, a second reason for the ride was to test the touring seat I had picked up on Facebook marketplace a few months back, a car breakers was breaking a Harley Road King and they let me have the seat for £60 including postage, I was not expecting a lot but it came well packaged and is immaculate, only missing the seat strap which most people ditch anyway, the cheapest used seat I have seen elsewhere of this type was £230 so I was very happy. It has a proper pillion pad on this seat as well so if I ever take a passenger, she will be comfortable. The first stop I made was Anstruther where I popped down to the historic harbour for a photo. After this I continued down to coast road before taking the A915 to Dysart and then Kirkcaldy where I took a quick snap of the lovely gas platforms in the North Sea. From there I carried on down the coast and headed over the Forth Road bridge and popped into The Cove biker cafe for a brew in South Queensferry and a natter with the assembled biker trash, I was invited to a party at a club house in September which I will probably go to, being run by one of the Blue Angels support clubs, good people. From there I headed back home, 130 miles and I'm well impressed with my £60 seat purchase.

Blue Angels are 1%'rs, they are in general more my kind of people than the general bike crowd but I'm not interested in joining, I couldn't give them the commitment they demand, that commitment belongs to my faith and I won't compromise that.

Nice one Ian , good to see you getting out. I'd give that biker party a miss if I were you, @Six30 reckons the Pink Ladies parties are much better

Yeah just a little worrisome I must admit, and the amount of people who just think it’s over and not wearing masks now is growing, and a lot of them are in the 70 age group.

That's really bad news, mate. None of the vaccines are 100%, but for them both to die from Covid-19 is very worrying. Condolences to all involved.

Hi Harley Lady, good to have another Harley rider here as the we’ve got at the moment is a bit dodgy

Why yes, I believe they are. Pick up some ice cream on your way.

My belly is full of berries. The black berries are everywhere this year and just sweet enough. I think a pie might be in order! If you're in the neighbourhood, stop by for a slice...

If he can act like a twat pumping that ratchet he can do one push and lift that bike. Admitedly, not like he’s pretending to try, though

You don't need a jack. Adrenaline and embarrassment usually suffices.

I am willing to lay my bike gently down and show how to pick it up to one of you guys who say it can’t be done. That’s a tall as fuck guy on the video, no way he can’t lift that bike if he didn’t to grab it like a bag of oranges.

Gay.

Jesus wept!

Yeah, there's a few different videos of him reading the results.....cracks me up every time.

have you seen the whole of that video , he reads all the results ..... funny

nah i have learnt my lesson with heavy bikes i wont be having any more my arthritis wont allow it

It's an infringement on their liberty apparently Bob! Same old demographic!

He was volatile but he was a good guy, genuine.

Thanks for the info (I guess i could have googled it, but i like it straight from people on site). We have our own ghost towns over here, in case you ever want to range farther from home.

Going into Politics guys!

The heat was leg burning when I lived in Georgia, USA but it is quite pleasant in Scotland, even when it gets what is classed as very hot here it is never as bad as when I was in GA.

Make Britain, Britain again,,,lol

Go Maggie go

At last, some class.

They certainly have @Tym

No, you are the clown.

I love nautical shit...

We should probably start one for all you ancient fuckers, William can be your patriarch and you can swap stories about pissing yourselves and other common occurrences in your day to day lives, assuming you can remember anything recent.

Yeah a few only 2 in double figures though @boboneleg

@yen_powell is this your handy work

Oooops shouldn't be in here my mistake .... not old enough for bingo , coffee mornings and trying to chat up the blue rinse brigade...

You know, Wednesday, when the things is on the thing. By the blue doodah.

After all these years of blaming @XTreme

There were some good times in the 60,s . My dad got his 1st car in 1963.....a huge Austin 16.....he looked after that car like my mum did the house. Every Sunday he would religiously wash it, and clean out the interior, then polish the seats, resulting in anyone sat in the back sliding from one side to the other on corners.....any corner, as the Austin 16 did not do fast in any shape of form. He was able to buy the car courtesy of my mum........she won...wait for it!!.... £500 at the local bingo hall........which would be equivalent to around £10,000 nowdays.....it also paid for her to visit her sister in America. That year I got everything I asked for at Christmas.

I love hearing stories about the great depression, oh wait, thats you Brits reminiscing about Britain again...lol

Let me know where you want it and I'll ship some over to you...

You know that you are not done explaining this don't you?

I got discounted admission to the Haynes Museum a couple of years ago cos I said “Youll have to say that again I’m deaf” she replied oh ok I can give you the disabled discount then, felt a bit wrong but hey a never look a gift horse..

And on a proper bike, too!

Remember Len Vale Onslow......he was still riding at 102 years old!

Exactly so, if I make it to 84 (let alone ride a bike) I'll be well chuffed.

I hope @William (Bill) stays.......he's an interesting guy! And he gives the rest of us some hope for the future......after all, how many of us are going to reach 84, let alone go touring on a motorcycle?

The desert sled is the only decent version of the Scrambler
