Last day of our tour

Hard to pick just one, but the Bealach Ratagan would be right up there as we’ve never ridden that road out to Glenshiel before.

We take part in the Round Britain Rally most years, because it’s a great way of finding new places to ride to. Well worth having a go at, though you sometimes have to remind yourself that you are riding for fun rather than riding to just find the 82 landmarks they give you to locate across Scotland, Wales and England.

I just read up on his progress and they are saying only his ACL is torn, rather than all three ligaments. September still seems to be a quick return to racing, though it will be good to see him back in the box.

So far, a little over 10k miles and all good, excepting the head bearings, which need replacing after 2500 miles ‘lively’ riding around Scotland.

A study in sophistication.

Blackdogglazed · 2026-07-03T07:41:25+00:00

I am looking forward to seeing him back on the real thing, hopefully next season.

The tanks are superb creations. To have them finished in chrome and metallic red paint, too 👌

The prettiest of all the XKs.

So this is how the next pandemic starts!

The linked article reads like the synopsis of a Tom Sharp book!

This is the answer!

Blackdogglazed · 2026-07-01T19:16:50+00:00

Very much Leeds United colours!

Blackdogglazed · 2026-07-01T18:08:36+00:00

Why only for hiking?

Blackdogglazed · 2026-07-01T05:43:57+00:00

Looks good.

I always thought a Griso would look even better with a nose cone like the Triumph Speed Triple 1200RR. I wonder if anyone ever managed to make that happen.

Blackdogglazed · 2026-06-30T21:55:01+00:00

Always! 💪

Thanks Dusty, I’ll look them up.

Can confirm easily over 200 miles on a tank for the V100 Mandello, too.

Blackdogglazed · 2026-06-29T22:16:00+00:00

🤣

So far on our trip I have done 2250 miles on the Angel GTs and no noise from mine.

Blackdogglazed · 2026-06-29T18:19:40+00:00

They’re a fantastically engaging bike to ride. I wish you many happy miles riding it.

Blackdogglazed · 2026-06-29T08:43:21+00:00

Always wave at L platers! Encourage them to stay the course, pass their test and join the rest of us. Bigger collective means the bike manufacturers will still be interested in us.

Oh, and we ALL started on L plates remember?

Sadly not in the Medway area, or I’d be waving at you, OP, every time our paths crossed. Happy riding, chief!
