Quick refuel for me and this squadron of geese.

Forget your Easy Rider or The Wild One, the classic motorcycle movie is Restless Natives. RIP Vincent Friell (and his GP100)

I’ve got a test ride of the new Royal Enfield on Friday. A wee bit of a change from the Daytona.

The future is here. Love these 1950s-style sci-fi futuristic Albanian petrol stations

The weather this summer has been ‘mixed’ to put it mildly so here’s a blast of 1970s-colour summer sun

I was asked to write about why motorcycle deaths are up 80% this year. heraldscotland.com/opinion/244942…

If you thought the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics was wild, wait til you see their motorcycle adverts

This is going to transform my life. No more bashing away at my bike’s axle nut with crappy little ratchet.

Quiz time. Great ride yesterday. Passed standing stones, chambered cairn burial mounds and Neolithic stone circles. Where did we stop for a fish supper?

This is Loch Awe but, by an ancient Scottish law, you need to sing ‘oh, Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whisky’ as you ride past.

Saw these Ural sidecar pilots in Paris looking effortlessly cool - as French riders always do. They run tours of the city on their Russian outfits which look pretty fun.

Sad news for Scottish riders. The demise of Saltire in Edinburgh follows that of Mickey Oates and Ride-on in Glasgow, and Ecosse in Aberdeen and Dundee. Hope all staff find new jobs asap.

Sorting out my camping gear - criminally underused in this washout Scottish ‘summer’. On the upside, there’s still a dram in this flask. Smokehead, if my tastebuds are not wrong,

Look at this beauty. The rider had this vfr400 when it was new. Bought it back off his pal and did it up over the last couple of years.

Quiz time. Quite difficult so I’ve given you a clue. Which small Scottish town, popular with motorcycling enthusiasts 12 months of the year, is this?

Took me a moment to work out what this devilish-looking machine used to be afore getting the streetfighter treatment

Good wee trip down to the Glen Cafe at St Mary’s Loch today. Picture includes obligatory shot of man admiring the beautiful orange Laverda.

Three glorious icons in one picture. an AA telephone box, a red letter-box and a Hinkley-built Triumph.

I discovered today that cows kill more people than sharks. I was amazed - I didn’t know that cows killed any sharks at all. Mind blown.

Quiz time. One of the most famous roads in Scotland. Catch it at dawn or dusk and it’s truly haunting. Where is it?
