Did you get that off a man from the Moffat area? Or have we met in Moffat a few moons ago, when you told me you bought it from NLM? Small world! ;)

My Pampera was bought from motomerlin, but I used to ride with a couple of chaps who bought 2nd hand Pamperas in Scotland so it might have been one of them.

Alan S and myself had a little ride out for the week. Dent for the first night then up to Tibbies Sheils on Loch St Mary for the next then up to the top of Loch Lomond for the next, mossies just starting but not too bad. Next night up to the beautiful Applecross, fantastic roads and saw a herd of deer crossing in front of us. Then up to Cape Wrath but a tad windy so followed the coast and found a really nice little site to camp along the top coast. Next day on to John O Groats for a quick piccie and then down to Inverness for the night (new chain required!). Back down to Tibbie Shiels next night, then down to Dent again to meet up with some HUBB guys. Alan went home then as his rear sprocket was in a dire condition!. Night freecamping at the bottom of Barbon Dale, about twenty bikes turned up! Then home. Nine nights camping and around 1800 miles, bike ran perfectly, lot of drinking good food and met some good people along the way. Immense scenery and good company with Alan. Carried a spare gallon for Al as his tank was woefully small @ 120 to empty but only needed it once. Always comfy and dry, slept well and ate well now back to work!  :'(
If I'm not working I'll be away on my bike camping!

Frog Island - a micro brewery in Northampton used to do a fine brew and a service to put a custom lable on if you wished - Thumper Club bitter any one?




..I think you'll find that Ringwood's already make our signature ale....




..it's a nice pint too!   8)

Yeah it's not a bad one.

Saw it so had to have a pint of it in the Wetherspoons in Portsmouth last week whilst waiting for my ferry.
