Pods 650 test ride, cute cow warning
After passing the MOT and fixing the clutch cover leak spent some time with metal and plastic polish .
Mileage
Scabby radiator
Highland ladies celebrating the SNP victory by rioting in the Glen
The little white bullock
His dad , luckily he is shagged out (literally)
Cooling the heels
I have personally swept the gravel off some of these corners to get the full benefit of them, looking back the Glen to Cruachan and Loch Etive
Red neck country
Gnarly old oak
diarmids pillar
A bridge
Mingling with the touroids Oban bay
Self portrait
Thats all for now, the leak is fixed and everything else is just dandy.
Now for the BSA

Nice pics and nice cows.
As for the radiator I took mine off and gave it a new coat of black paint and it's looks as good as new now.

Some great shots there, that wee bullock is awfy bonny, I wonder if I could import it as a pet!
Would that be Connel Bridge? Used to do a lot of diving there, the drift dive under the bridge is a helluva rush, it's quite legendary in my old club as apparently you can only do it on an outgoing tide, if you do it on an incoming one you can get swept into the caves and jammed in the chimneys, not sure if that's just an urban myth though.

It is Connel bridge,well spotted, I am no diver though I do skite around on a windsurfer in Loch Etive at Achnacloich.
The cattle are in Glen Lonan, my back road from Oban to taynuilt.
Went up to Tyndrum to the Ducati open day, Glen Coe was shut, bad accident.
Ducati Glasow had all the promo gear , the new Scrambler comes with matching patio furniture?

Some nice ducatis there, i have owned a diavel , awesome power but i had my fun on it,and i dont think i would buy another one. The new scrambler at first glance confuses me a little. I have yet to make up my mind if i like it or not. Its interesting to say the least ,may even have potential as a cafe racer if you dont like the scrambler look :?Hmmm a bit harley'ish in the first pic I think i am going on my first impressions on the scrambler ,dont like it oh well cant please veryone!

Love Ducati streetfighters !
Don't ride faster than your angels can fly !
Re: Pods 650 test ride, cute cow warning
Finally watched the beesa vid, sounds great.I'd forgotten all about cattle grids in the wet, yucksville. I don't mind the scrambler TBH, kinda reminds me of The Great Escape for some reason,but I may be mixing my memories! I take it that's a "new" Indian? I always did like their swoopy lines.

Re: Pods 650 test ride, cute cow warning
Yeah wet cattle grids, keep you sharp!.
it is a new Indian , made by Victory, the owner didnt know if it was a side valve or OHV, it looked to be very well made on close inspection.
I liked the look of the Duc scramblers, kindof 60s retro ish, but not really made for off road, I couldnt see one in a guttery stubble field doing ovals round a couple of bales, very much a toy for a big boy posing down the high street, and why not I suppose.
I spent last summer recommissioning the Beesa with new Alloy nickasil lined barrels, long build thread here http://www.britbike.com/forums/ubbthrea ... Post541665

Re: Pods 650 test ride, cute cow warning
This thread made me get all nostalgic so I've dug out a nice vid of some kayakers going off under that bridge. And yes, we did used to dive that, my mis-spent youth was actually quite well spent I reckon.
