CZ16 - T -4

Pepe is ready to roll, only needing a top up of petrol before heading off to the Shuttle on Wednesday morning.

Before then I have a day at work,  a day work from home and a visit to the hospital to see about a hearing aid.

Then I need to pack.

The weather forecast looks pretty good so I'll need to get out the sun screen. And the insect repellant.
Clothes? I like the idea I read about in a magazine of simply taking old stuff and binning it rather than carrying it about.  I'm sure I have pants and socks that could fill that role!

At the southern entrance to Glen Coe  The only factory custom bike I have ever ridden before was an early Yamaha XS400 back in the early Eighties. It had not endeared me to custom bikes! After a trip to the FIM Rally in the Czech Republic in 1995 with a riding partner on a Suzuki Savage, I had begun to think that although not actually my cup of tea, with real perseverance, these bikes could be more than 'canteen cowboy' outfits. Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...
