Hi from Glasgow, Scotland...

Just wanted to say a proper hello. This isn't my first post and I have been lurking for month or two reading everyone's thoughts and experiences with their twins. I took a test ride on a Bonnie a few weeks ago and fell instantly and deeply in love with the bike. Last Friday my new T100 arrived in the shop (plus TOR's and a Scottoiler) and since then I have hardly been able to stay off it. 750 miles on it so far and hopefully many more to go...

Anyway, here are a few pics (in very uncharacteristic Scottish weather!)

Nice bike. My ancestors were from Aberdeen and I've always wanted to visit. Scotland looks beautiful.

Welcome, enjoy your new bike. God what a beautiful country you have, from the old ruins at John O Groats to the Glasgow castel and all the beautiful sites in between, especially the Lasses.

Nice folks in Glasgow

Flew into Glasgow for the first time & rented a Vauxhall about as big as my suitcase with a six speed transmission & began a very exciting driving experience. This confused American was treated with such kindness and I love you all.

Visited the home of my MacGregor ancestors near Loch Tay.

I have a 2007 T-100 and sometimes I dream that I am riding it up the A9 to Pitlochry and I will one day.

You have a beautiful motorcycle and a beautiful country to ride it in. It was a joy to see your bike and the beautiful landscape.

thank you!

Congratulations, Drac. Beautiful bike, and beautiful country. I visited Scotland shortly after 9/11 and had a great time. Found the people to be really friendly and the country beautiful. Just one thing, too many sheep! I envy you having that countryside to ride in.

John
