��.. but couldn�t resist at the end of a short ride. Probably the last of my summer season.

Not too bad over 8 summer seasons for one who �doesn�t get out much�.

A break in the weather saw me set out for short run.

For those not familiar with Central Scotland, the other pics are Stirling Castle and Sir David Stirling, founder of the SAS in WW2. Plus some lovely autumnal scenery in between.

Unfortunately the bike ended up filthy due to a lot of wet, gritty surfaces.

ps - the recently acquired GIVI box is the complete PITA I expected because the key cannot be removed in the unlocked position. Bugger, bugger, bugger.

(No apologies needed; miles on Scottish roads are worth triple the mileage of other roads.)

I�m impressed considering the size of Scotland�5,000 km/year 3,106 miles. A bit of a feat.

I�m a Notary Public. RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!

Scotland, for now, still uses the Imperial Mile.

What's the vertical bar between the bikes eyes? Reflective?

The mind is the limiting factor

that's the DRL fitted to European bikes - illuminates instead of the H7 candle in daylight

Scotland, for now, still uses the Imperial Mile.

But once Jimmy Krankie gets her INDEPENDENCE, mel Gibson can let us know it's meaning!

Their new distance can be measured in sporans to a kilt, kilts to a caber, cabers to a loch so we adhere to any new rules. 100cph(cabersperhour) will make perfect sense and it will be faster then any other method, obviously!

Imperial, metric, scotchy? but just remember GMT - Grenwich tells the world what the time is everywhere.

Despite all the anti this/that micky taking I still think the respect shown to the Queen on her last journey south from Balmoral showed the best of Scotland and it's people.

40,000MLS in photo one, 40k in 8 years, still 5k miles per year or 64,373 km total with 8k km per year

I think all the arithmetic corrections have been pointed out

Luckily many of us older riders are multi-lingual in UK, Metric and US measurements.

Almost half this year�s miles were enjoyed on mainland Europe.

A ferry trip I�ve made each year since I bought the RS, except for our 2 Covid years.

Carpe Diem!
