John Hyman who has been the Chairman since the branch started has indicated he wants to stand down so he can concentrate on his other motorcycle club interests, namely the Scottish Classic club and the Vintage vehicle association so we will be looking for a replacement.

 

The Capper Rally

 

Two weeks ago I was at the Capper Rally, hosted by Special K MCC at a site near Pathhead, in contrast to last year it was sunshine all the way, putting the tent up stripped down to a T shirt and feeling the warmth of the sun on my back certainly lifted my spirits and added to the enjoyment. The usual alcohol overdose ensued with the best bike deservedly going to a 42 Indian Scout, the same one that was at the Snowed in Rally in January. The long distance awards were from memory for over 500 miles (male) and 300 (female). This is a small Rally (around 90 People) but friendly and well worth a visit, if you are interested for next year let me know and I’ll get you an invite.

 

Ramblings

 

Just back from a long weekend in Italia visiting my old village and relations, I took the opportunity on the way back to Milan airport to detour up to Mandello el Lario, home of Moto Guzzi. I visited Agostini’s the world famous Guzzi dealer in Mandello and of course had yet another look round the factory. They’ve smartened the museum up a bit and it’s now spread over 3 floors but its still only open from 3-4pm every day. It was good to be there but I think this is my 4th visit and found little to excite me in the museum. If you haven’t been there its worth a visit if you are in the area, if you have, then not much has changed, I think they need to get the PR thing sorted out and try a bit harder for visitors who come to Guzzi Mecca.

 

National Rally 2008

 

I’ve been working on the flyer and need to get it back to the printers for the end of this month. Still waiting for T shirt prices. I’ve printed the flyer to give you all an idea of what’s going out .

 

 

 

 

The Small Print

The views and opinions contained within this publication are not necessarily those of the NOC or of the branch but are probably mine as I wrote it.

No one accepts any responsibility for anything, if you have a good time don't say I didn't warn you.
