I think he just leaps about everywhere like a loon. Which is rather splendid really.

I think that's his dismount

We're heading to Glenlyon today (near Kenmore) for a walk with our border collie and outdoor lunch with the portable BBQ.

We may pass on the road at some point....

Ride safe Bro.

Regards;
Peter

Another 210 miles done today but no photos as I was riding mostly through the heavy rain in the highlands this morning. Glad I bought new waterproof trousers as I stayed dry inside all the way

Tomorrow heading to the Peak District.

It wasn't a very nice day for riding today, hope it improves tomorrow.
I bought my Forza because I hoped it would give more protection in the rain. But I haven't been caught out in any rain yet ( mainly because i plan my day rides in good weather ) and I'm interested in experienced scooter riders take on this.
So today do you think if you were on a motorbike your legs & feet would have been wetter/colder ??

Feel free to pop in same as last time if you want to. You'll have the place to yourself this time.

Yes definitely drier and warmer. However the drier bit only counts when the rain isn’t too heavy and you’re moving forwards like at 40mph +
The problem comes when the rain is heavy, it hits your top half and runs down you, also when you stop at a junction everything gets wet.... guess the only way around this is to get one of those apron things but can’t quite bring myself to that....yet
