well........left at 6.30 am on the saturday,, got to 40 mile fae aviemore, an ma bike broke down... it wasnt its bad week it just broke down.. i lost all power, it just died a death.. so after a 3 hrs wait on the RAC guy...an 3hrs later.,,, i was back in ma garage...

got ma van the gither an ready to sleep in.. an headed back up there...got an hour on the road an turned around, as a wasnt gonna get up there tae around 8pm...

so decided tae wait tae the morning then go up early... i left at 5.30 am,,, went up,, tae a pure WASTE o time,... it was rainin cats an dogs an a mean rainin heavy...all day..everyone was pissed off an was goin home,,

so did i see any HARLEYs... yes !!!!! out of the 4000 HD that was there,, i saw about 300 odd o them an around 100 jap all sorts,,,,pass me by as i was stuck in a layby..wi ma seat propped up against the bike in the brokedown mode...an did anyone stop tae see if a was ok an there was anuthin they could do fur me.....NAW not one bike stopped

I have went out ma way many many times tae help people out,, i have sometimes went home onma bike tae get ma van an took their bike home,,,free of charge... an i always wave tae bikers all the time... every timne i see a biker at the side o teh road...I always stop ansee if their ok... did it happen fur me...............NAW...wil that make me stop doing what i do na waving tae tOM dICK AN hARRY...Naw.. will i again stop an see if their ok...YES... cause the difference ios,,, their them,, an am me....i wouldnt have done that wi a Dog the way they guys passed me by.. some of them waving.. an me giving them the Hia watha hand an arm signals tae say i was broke down....an none stopped.......phew. !!!! makes ye wonder eh !!!! I thought that wave meant a kinda brotherhood helpin hand... i must have got it wrong sometime somewhere down the line............ah well... the bike now is ok....thgats ma report...really a wasted weekend,, an pissed off off at some folk....

Sorry to bring up this old thread but reading johns report kinda brought back memories. I went avimore nocking on 3 years ago with me dad (the hog rider) and me misus on the back o the xtr. Was a great trip and evryone (minis the odd 1 here n there) was friendly and nice. Sorry to hear you had such a bad time mate!

I had ccc pipes on me r at the time! Was the only jap bike that could out do the hogs noise wise!

afk40 · # 10 19-02-12, 02:38

well I only had a Peed off time as it was ma fault that ma bike broke down, and NO ONE stopped to even ask me if a was alright... in fact when i called the RAC... they couldnt trace where i was,, so i was wantin some one tae stop so i could ask them exactly where i was.. but noone stopped out o about 400 passerbys...
then tae top it off the next day i went up it was peeing from the heavens... seemingly the saturday was a cracker o a day weather wise, an the bieks were awesome.....but next time al go on ma cruiser.. maybe yeve tae be in teh cruiser gang before they`l stop....

Colros,,, Yes Please do forward ma Woes on to the Hardly dangerous club.. hogwash boys wi their fingerless gloves an their silly wastecoats an their look at me attitudes am a real biker.....
