The best part of the UK for a decent potter or a full hoon :driving:

Very grateful that we moved up here!

Morning went well

Another shitty day in paradise

Loch Fyne Rest n Thankful Kyles of Bute

 

[Chippie]

Looks like you had the perfect weather for it :driving:

 

[Argyll Andy]

Glad you had a good day and delighted my home territory provided lovely scenery, great weather and fantastic roads

Pity I couldn’t make it but there’s always the next time :driving:

 

[B21]

The ferry trip to Bute started so well..

Ettrick Bay looking across to Kintyre was very pretty ..

Quite so..you could have given some driving tips to a fellow G29 owner..see below.. :tumbleweed:

 

[B21]

Interesting ..my first prang I’ve seen on runs in 5 years and well over 100 days of trips

G29 (heavily tuned) did a sharp right turn into a wood shortly after turning onto a minor road..

Oooppps, oooppps and more oooppps

That looks like quite a sore one.

My immediate thought was unless the camera is deceiving I hope there was a lot more tread on the rear tyres than that front??

 

[B21]

Yes I checked the treads..more than adequate amounts for any police / insurance related matters..

Suspect that the gearbox was programmed with xHP to remove over speed downshift protection.. :tumbleweed:

Dropping it from high revs in 2nd into 1 st would lock the rear wheels up temporarily..de-facto hand brake turn..

Bit of a bugger that , trust the drivers ok
Apart from that it looked a great day ,

Driver is fine…I think it happened so fast he didn’t have time to have that slo-mo type experience..bit shocked afterwards….took it steady home in convoy..

 

[B21]

It was an eventful weekend…on my way up to see PeeblesZ4 for a coffee on the Saturday I came on the seen of a RTA…

There were 5 cars there already with a man giving CPR to the motorcyclist, so felt that in this case I would just clutter the place up…

Sadly he died at the scene…
