I've enjoyed riding the CBF this summer. It's nice looking
at the scenery as you trundle along at a modest pace and getting a whole day's
riding on a single tank. But with the SV repaired and a fresh MOT obtained it's
time for some speed.
It's not that the SV is crazy fast - it has brisk
performance. But with the combination of light weight, great handling and a
willing, revvy V-twin engine it just begs to be trashed. Of course I'll be
keeping it sensible today. I'm keen to avoid any more dealings with the
medical profession for a while.
I headed to the Scottish Borders and Berwick upon Tweed.

This is a favourite view of mine. Looking north from
Lammermuir Hills to the Firth of Forth and Fife. (try saying that quickly three
times) |

I'm not superstitious but some lucky heather can't do any
harm. |

I took this photo of a wind farm for the purple heather in
bloom |

Another
favourite view - the River Tweed near Broughton |
The heather fields are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think so too. The purple produced a surreal landscape. I'll have to find & photograph more heather.
DeleteCongrats on being back on the SV, torquey V-twins are great. I agree with Sonja, the heather fields are so pretty, but then I seem to enjoy all your views.
