St. Andrews

[Buckster]

So I visited a friend's church this morning then afterwards went for a ride. The church was in Bo'ness so I headed west then north over Skinflats to Kincardine bridge to cross the Forth. Rode across to the very picturesque Culross where a Tesla almost reversed into me. Then through Torryburn before heading to Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy. I then followed the Fife coastal route up through Buckhaven, Leven, Pittenweem etc. eventually arriving in St. Andrews where I had a traditional Scottish Shawarma wrap.

While I was there a fellow turned up on a mildly modified Harley V-rod, when I say mildly modified I mean about thirty grands worth including a lightly wider rear wheel and air shocks. Only let down by a crap exhaust wrap which I told him how to fix.

I then headed home via the A91 where I almost got wiped out by a van driver. About 180 miles in total, still no oil from the air filter, also messed around with tyre pressures, now I have gone tubeless on the rear it seems to need lower pressure.

That thing's wider than my bike with the panniers.

I’m surprised that bike needs a side stand with a tire like that.
