Motorcycling ~


Classic Motorcycle

This machine had just left from its parking place... my lens followed - which is natural enough if you're interested in classically designed motorcycles. The other photograph was the first shot, which immediately drew me into this encounter! I live in Dunbeg, by Oban in Argyll,  Scotland. We are blessed to live in what many motorcyclists refer to as 'Bikers Heaven'.
~ I hope that this is enough to say? ~ (for they who don't understand, I'm sorry for you ;)


The last few words suggest a few more sentences...

I'm a fortunate motorcycling enthusiast - if that's incomprehensible, you are reading the wrong article!  I've loved motoring in every style since youth. The number of wheels needn't  be counted - which, thankfully, excludes unicycles (without motors, of course!).

The earliest ever motorcycle which drew my attention belonged to an uncle of mine. I was a small child at the time, so the make or model would have meant little to me then. However, in my adult years, I've learned that it was a classic motorcycle: a Francis Barnett machine... what one learns later in life is beyond putting in any particular genre - it simply enhances one's knowledge! 

Thanks for your time and interest,

Ewen

 Colonized-elites SNP elite has chosen to serve as a colonial administration Extremely deceitful and most treacherous NuSNP's deception The colonizers' agents are ignorant: where sovereignty lies The politicians aren't serving their voters; so we despise Both Holyrood and Westminster, hey have condemned their own  Nation and people through their inaction and deceit: disown The outcome's “a calcified colonized society”  -  UK beside Originating internally alongside corset imposed from outside More than three centuries have passed - as I'm writing this And realising that our ancestors had similar feelings to us Centuries, more like minutes, between the ages we discuss...  Quietly Resuming Scotland's independence peacefully, no fuss!

  Brothers Angus and   Roderick, Both Scottish sons, struck; Angus fatally...  Roddy not, Roddy, more fortunate Scot. Eternally remembered, loved, Were Lost, injured and beloved, Dearly, calmly contemplated; Done, knew, and meditated. Revered through passing ages, While lacing histories pages; Angus's memories truly last, Always echoing through past.   Safely you walk in freedom, And welcome as if you come; Here in freedom, as was won, Can bask in freedom's sun.
