Good news guys! I have made it as far as Hexham with only one crash. I fell off in the car park of the b&b I'm staying in, got my foot trapped and twisted under the bike and had to be rescued by a group of kindly pensioners....I was proper stuck under the bike. So bless all 6 or 7 of them it took to move the bike off.

No harm done other than a scratched clutch cover!
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

I once had a farmer's wife and her 7 year old son help me pick mine out of ditch, very embarrassing.
Working in Berwick tomorrow, so off to Dundee after work, sleep on my daughters couch. Then if the weather holds, a trip to Wick, Durness, Ullapool and to Fort Augustus on Friday, I may cut it short if I run late, but it should be good with an early start. I hope they do big plates of food, I will be a hungry boy by the time get to the campsite.
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.

Got a flat battery this morning. I'm guessing some electrolyte fell out yesterday. Can I have a zimmer frame full of distilled water please?

Did you get it going OK? Want to stop by either XJC's place or mine on the way?
