That's because you live in an affluent[effluent] part of the world where people have that much money they can waste it by throwing it on the roads

The Ducati's just had it's new back wheel (recall ) and while they had it I got them to bin the Pirelli Diabolicals and fit some SportSmarts. It too is full of petrol.
I've spent most of today cleaning the Defender. It's now full of diesel.

So.........my next job (barn conversion) is a bit delayed and I think I'll clear off to Scotland. The wife's got a couple of girly nights out organised next week so I'll have to go alone (what a shame)

So the question is, do I go on the Ducati or the SV and B&B it?
Or in the Land Rover and chuck all the camping/fishing gear in?

I had considered trailering a bike up there but I can't be bothered. At the moment I'm leaning toward taking the SV and doing some of the (very easy, see photos) forest gravel trails through Kielder and the Galloway Forest, then Portpatrick for some seafood/Guinness in the Crown Hotel overlooking the harbour.
Has it stopped raining yet?
If yer going to Portpatrick, give us a shout, means you will be extremely close to me!
