Scottish Bike Show Ingliston 07/03/20

As we have done for the last few years, we headed to Ingliston for the bike show. I was looking forward to seeing the new Triumph Rocket 3, it didn't disappoint as far as pure size, presence and the price. Wish I could have taken it for a blast, 2500cc, 221nm of torque and 176 bhp would have been fun. We weren't short of folk we knew to blether to as we wandered around the stalls although the attendance seemed to be down from previous years.

Unfortunately we had to say our goodbyes to Sitka recently, our faithful black lab and great friend, our hearts have been broken but he will be with us forever.
