North Coast 500
« on: March 19, 2018, 09:42:51 pm »
Hi all.
After a long time fiddling and swearing and fuming I managed to crack the picture problem. :o
My 3 year old grandson knows more then me about this thinks then I do.
Never mind .
Sorry for being a bit late but here are a few picture from our trip last year in June around the NorthCoast 500.
We had a blast.
Thank you Scotland

Very nice pics. Seeing as you are in Pembroke home of the corgis of the same name you will have to hop on the ferry and ride the Wild Atlantic Way but its a bit longer than 500k.

Nice piccies Frank

Perhaps a few small written captions underneath each piccie would have given us Southerners an idea of location in Haggisland.  :)

Now he's got the hang of posting photos I'm sure he will add captions to make the thread more interesting.

Nice photos. You even managed the odd bin to keep Rae happy.
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Are you talking about that small silver hatchback with its hatch open...? Sure spoils a pretty picture (but handy for those fast food cartons...) 🧐
Late emerging biker - took the first bike plunge at 50 with a 12GT : swapped for a 13S 9 months in... then got my mitts on a lovely 2014 13R Dynamic in rrrrrracing rrrrred! Then the COVID came along... so I upped it to France and bought a V85TT... O Sole Mio etc etc!

Bettyhill. I haven't been there in far too long. Happy memories? of running out of fuel between there and Castletown on the VFR. I was having so much fun I totally forgot the bike needs refuelling now and then.  ;D Chap came out from Castletown in a van with a can and profusely apologised for asking me for £7 for the contents - company policy. He then waited until he was sure the bike was running properly before heading back - dinny worry Mr Man, it's a Honda, ken.
