    Fine Day Out

    I dont know if this is the right section but here goes..

    So today as I novice rider, I was lucky to have a ride out with my Neighbour who has been riding/racing since he could crawl.

    The pressure was on as we where practicing road positioning, especially when cornering.. He watched me for while then took the lead for the rest for the ride. Showing me the best cornering techiques etc.. defensive driving and observation.

    Was quite a drive up Cairn'A'Mount, then back on the upper deeside road.
    With all sorts of roads and corners..

    Really enjoyed the afternoon and learnt a lot..
    And as a bonus it was very hot a sunny.. whats that all about..

    Its Scotland after all..

    Some pics from Top of Cairn'A'Mount..

    Ohh, nice. Nice quiet road, nice scenery, nice shiny weather. Does it get any better?

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?
