SCMC Spring Gathering 26/04/26

Once again it was great to meet up with mates of old to talk bikes and catch up on goings on.

Thanks to the organisers and HUB 71 for making the change of venue a great success, and ordering great weather, which may have helped.

The Rollei photos will be added once the film has been developed.

Looking forward to the next one.

SCMC Wee Smokey, Arbroath

The run to the SCMC Wee Smokie in Arbroath saw us getting the bikes back on the road, after what seemed like a long winter. The forecast was for high winds and wintry showers, but the run up was fine, apart from having to fill up the Big Yam, which took £25 for E5. There were a good number of bikes parked up, and folk gathered by the time we got there just after 11am. It was great to meet up with Classic Club folk and talk bikes again. The run home was braw, apart from getting caught in a shower of hailstones.
Thanks to the ever cheery Eric and Amy for organising the day.
