Bon Scott Day226 giorni fa
 
Recieved this email folks and thought I would share it as it may be of interest.



Hi there folks

I wonder if you would mind sharing this with the club, or posting it on your website, I am trying to drum up interest for this event from local bike clubs.

Kind regards

Paddy

Aberdeen

-----------------------------------------------------------

Not many know two things,

1: Kirriemuir is the town Bon Scott was born

2: Every year they celebrate this with the 'Bon Scott day'.

The 1st Bon Scott day was in 2006 and it has been growing from strength to strength each year.

This years Bon Scott day is set for the 2nd May 2009

Fans from around the world descend on the Kirriemuir Town Hall for a night of old School Rockin.

Details are not final but the date is set! Worth a run on a lovely May day. This will be a bank holiday weekend so there is no excuse.

JUST A BIKER366 giorni fa
 
JUST A BIKER

I saw you; hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line. But you didn't see me put an extra £10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.



I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk. But you didn't see me playing Santa at the local Mall


I saw you change your mind about going into the restaurant when you saw my bike parked out front. But you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by. But you didn't see me riding behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.


I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your children. But you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.


I saw you stare at my long hair. But you didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.


I saw you roll your eyes at our Leather jackets and gloves. But you didn't see me and my brothers donate our old ones to those that had none.


I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But you didn't see me cry as my children where born or have their name written over and in my heart.


I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But you didn't see me going home to be with my family.

I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But you didn't see me when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you yelling at your kids in the car. But you didn't see me pat my child's hands knowing she was safe behind me.


I saw you reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road But you didn't see me squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you race down the road in the rain. But you didn't see me get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time But you didn't see me trying to turn right.

I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But you didn't see me leave the road.

I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But you didn't see me. I wasn't there.

I saw you go home to your family. But you didn't see me. Because I died that day you cut me off.


I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family. But you didn't see me.


Repost this around in hopes that people will understand the biker community..

Why motorbikes are better than women!!430 giorni fa
 
1) Motorbikes usually kill you quickly - a woman takes her time.

2) Motorbikes can be turned on by a flick of a switch.

3) Motorbikes don't get mad if you ride it too hard.

4) Motorbikes don't object to a preride inspection.

5) Motorbikes come with manuals to explain their operation.

6) Motorbikes have strict weight and balance limitations.

7) Motorbikes can be rode any time of the month.

8) Motorbikes don't come with in-laws.

9) Motorbikes don't care about how many other bikes you've rode before.

10) Motorbikes and riders both arrive at the same time.

11) Motorbikes don't mind if you look at other motorbikes.

12) Motorbikes prefer it when you modify them.

13) Motorbikes don't mind if you buy motorbike magazines.

14) Motorbikes expect to be tied down.

15) Motorbikes like it when you coat their bits in oil.

16) Motorbikes don't comment on your riding skills.

17) Motorbikes prefer to be rode sideways.

18) Motorbikes prefer it when other motorbikes come along.

19) Motorbikes dont mind when you take pictures to show your friends.

20) Motorbikes don't whine unless something is really wrong.

21) However, when motorbikes go quiet, just like women, it's usually not good.

:lol: :lol:

20th July Run Out503 giorni fa
 
3 daft buggers that didnt have the sense to stay under the duvet this morning set off from Tescos, A new route was picked due to the pissing rain in the general direction that we were meant to be going. So a blustery run down the East coast was picked so that we could go and get Sonic to make us a cup of tea or 2. Much blethers and discussions setting the world to right before waiting for a lull in the weather and we all set off for home again. So much for a lull in the weather I think I have strained my neck muscles coming back up the causewaymire... Not to mention an artic lorry nearly blowing me into the hill........ Next run out we will try and book some good weather and provide a contact number to call to check if the run is on or not. Sunny Sundays appear to be a rarity during the summer this year and last year. Global warming my arse!!!! I wont mention Mr H heading south in his Jeep (what is it they say about fairweather bikers)

Run Out 15th June531 giorni fa
 
9am somewhere just outside thurso the rain is pissing down like you have never seen. By 930am it has dried up a bit and the decision to go back to sleep has been abandoned and I set off into town to see if any other brave (stupid) souls have decided to chance a run out. The frog rolls up with a spare tank on the Max followed by John and an almost late Ray. After a quick fuel stop its west to Bettyhill we go. After getting bombarded by rocks from the frogs back tyre on the newly done bit of road going west out of melvich I decide its time to clear a few cobwebs and pass him. Good job he wasnt using his V boost or I would of been knackered. First stop is a layby in Bettyhill to discuss the weather and the rest of the route. The sun is shinning and the weather is looking good so its off we go down Strath Naver. Mental note to self the bike wont run with side stand down!! You really had to be there. Sheep were fleeing in every direction and old ladies were waving enthusiastically (I think the frog has been up west before on stealth missions) From Syre we head on the the remotest pub in mainland britain for a toastie and a cup of tea. Kennys hope of refuelling here is dashed when he discovers the pump has long since fallen into disrepair (see pictures) From investigation it looks as if the pump last operated when petrol was 80pence a gallon!!!!!! Onwards again to Kinbrace and the Kildonnan where the railway crossing scared the crap out of us all. No flashing lights and a train approaching. Unbeknown to us the train has to give way at this crossing but it is very disconcerting to see a train approaching and tooting its whistle just as you have crossed the track and know that there are still 3 bikes following behind you. A quick stop to remove bike seats from arse cracks and on we went down the amazing Glen Loth Road. Now if you havent been on this road before I wont spoil it for you but needless to say we all wish we had bikes with more suspension travel. If you have been on this road well you will know all about it!!! Once at the end of the Glen Loth road it was back to the A9 and a quick blast to Brora to refuel before going for the standard Capaldis ice cream. Whilst munching our ice cream a certain musician arrives to out eat us on the ice cream front. I wont mention any names mr soloventure!! After the ice cream it was a run back on proper (ish) roads to Dunbeath where we bailed in to see Sonic and co for another cup of tea and a blether There was meant to be an erection at sonics but we didnt see it as aparently it was too windy. There was a sighting of a rare Rock whale at dunbeath harbour to make up for the lack of erection. A great fun day out and some good cracks (Literally) on the road out. So in the style of Ewan Macgreggor and Charlie Boorman it was a long way down. Glen loth is something everyone should experience at least once!

Then pulling up at skiach services for lunch.

Set off again after a hearty meal (frog only avin a butty!) oh! Nearly forgot the Frog filled up again! Back the way we came in towards Bonar Bridge but turning right there, through spinningdale re-joining the A9, managed to take a few pics but the bloody batteries kept falling out (no comments please!!) of the camera!. We just managed to get back to the clubhouse before the meeting.
All together an enjoyable day with friends.
Thanks to all that went on the run

Fattie
