sad, sadder and the man is just amazing -

sad news - I'm getting fussy about the jet wash I use - I now recommend the BP on Maryhill Road just at Canniesburn Roundabout........ Where's me coat....

sadder - er Just washed the windows of the flat and the car with some Vinegar and Water mix - so clean you'd swear there wasn't a window there

Rossi - what can you say about the man that hasn't been already said - 6 times Motogp World Champion, 1 x two stroke WC, 5 x 4 stroke WC's on 2 different makes, 2 different engine capacities. Stunning. Now imagine if we'd have 16 Laguna Seca's or 16 Assens from last year or 16 Malaysia's from a few years back. That's what we all want to watch. Rossi win, that's nice but we want a battle for it - actually I'm not really bothered who wins just the battle and plenty of tyre smoking

IMOC Skye drive Sept 08 -

awesome awesome fun. Left Glasgow at 7am - taking the longest / slowest route out, dunno why I did that and headed up to Aviemore via Tarbet, Tyndrum, Fort William then Spean Bridge -> Newtonmore, Aviemore. Hop up to Inverness then along to Drumnadrochit for lunch. Head to Skye via Invermoriston then into Portree for camping.

Weather up on the Friday was stunning, utterly sublime I took my t-bars out at 10am ish at Spean Bridge and only put them in for lunch briefly then back on at 6pm in Skye after a days driving. Some pics of the run up

Tarbet at sunrise



The run across Rannoch Moor







Loch Laggan on route to Newtonmore



A terrible day in Skye..............





A well earned drink by my fellow camper, was soo warm on Skye that we were sweating putting up each of the tents! Unheard of and most unexpected by very welcome, as was the beer. Torvaig Camp Site, stunning views



The road to the pub from the campsite





The view from Cafe Arriba that was our breakfast stop Saturday and Sunday, well recommended



Atmospheric hills on route to Uig



All in all a great weekend, I haven't got many pics of other days simply because they were mostly crap! Bad use of camera lol

another day another set of scratches [sigh] -

yup drivers door scratched on lower panel like someone has dragged a sharp edge bag between my car and the one next to it. I swear if I ever catch someone damaging my car they'd better be bigger than me or have plenty of friends with them.

Have a wee run this weekend coming so hopefully the weather will be good enough to get some driving done, I have me doubts though :(
