Family commitments, work & the immoderate Scottish weather have conspired to keep me from riding the bike for a little over six months!

This sad state of affairs was finally rectified  today with my first ride out of the year, a decent 147 mile route through the Scottish Borders, east coast of Scotland & East Lothian.

Starting with a brief stop at Motorrad Central in Dalkeith for coffee, I continued south along the A68 & A697 to Coldstream on the border with England before heading northeast on the A698 to join the A1 at Berwick upon Tweed.

My late breakfast bacon roll was taken in the well known lay-by at the Scottish border.

Afterwards I headed north on the A1 a short distance before taking the coast road via Eyemouth, Dunbar, North Berwick & Gullane before returning to the Scottish Museum of Flight at East Fortune for a few photo’s.

The weather was perfect, the bike performed faultlessly & it really was great to be out on two wheels again.

Now….where shall I go tomorrow….?
