Barky, Blackhat250, 2Wheels and Si
Met up with Blackhat250 (John) and one of his pals Si at the Creiff rally, forgot I had my camera at the rally as was mesmerised by the number of old bikes that turned out, anyhoo, went from there to the famous 'Green Welly' at Tyndrum where John treated me and Si to a slap up (and expensive) lunch (owe ye John), motored from there to Forfar via- fnck knows where, -middle of nowhere, -somewhere in Scotland, -and where R wee, maybe John can fill in the blanks cos I didn't have a scoobie-mind blowing roads and scenery , could hardly keep up with John on his 'widowmaker' and Si on his Triumph tiger 1150-'no richt in tha heid' them two so no pics of the scenery I'm afraid The oldest Inn in Scotland (my local looks much older inside circa 410 BC) left to right, me, Pat(2wheels), John(blackhat250) and Si in Forfar great day oot, was great to meet Pat 2 wheels-over here for a wedding and have a 'craic', I did nearly 270 miles, John and Si must have done a lot less cos their wheels were off the ground a lot of the time oh, and the weather was scorchio !

5 minutes in - someone tries to kill me!
All new road bike models have the headlight ON when the ignition is on, i.e. when your travelling you have no choice (unless you put an in-line switch to the headlight) there is argument and counter-argument about whether this is safer, as Ttasky points out-when moving toward a vehicle waiting at a junction your headlight is gonna without doubt 'appear' to flash, thats unless the road is as flat and smooth as a billiard table - so its a bit of a gray area whether this is safer (more visible) or can easily be mis interpreted as a 'Flash' to pull out Volvo cars have had this feature for decades-but they dont have bouncy headlights

URGENT R125 back brake failing
It should be working so as you'd notice, a light pressure on the pedal should be very noticeable-not that you should be using it anyway, yep get it back to dealer pronto, and when its fixed dont use it more than a light 'drag' just to 'level' the bike during heavy braking only time I use rear brake is when moving very slow in traffic etc-or during an emergency (when the prayers start)
