hi from scotland

Post by jock13 » Mon Jan 21, 2019 10:21 pm

Hi all just bought a 1984 c90e and i love it have had loads of bikes in my time, but this was bought for the back of my campervan so that when i head to a festival i have some transport for nipping about, it needs a little bit of work but nothing major, if their are any members planning any ride outs in scotland give me a shout I could be tempted to join in lol. :D

I am on the north east coast and the weather is fine for january about 4deg and sunny snow showers today lol, as for venturing south almost everything i do is a 6 or 7 hundered mile round trip!, and that is not a problem in my vw campervan with my scoot on the back lol, heading south to Newark retro festival and Twinwood festival this year can't wait.

When we were in John O'Groats for the start of Jogle a local told us that they hadn't had snow there for many, many years.
I find that hard to believe and my plonker could well have been pulled.

To be honest knapdog the snow tends to be inland ( Tomintoul, Ballindalloch),We seldom get snow where i live (on the coast) and if we do its gone as fast as it turns up ? but in the town a few miles in land it can lie for days ?. So I can believe that they dont get much snow in john o groats to exposed.

Snow is less likely by the coast because of the salt. It doesn't help with rusting though.
