Is it nearly bedtime?
One for your diaries if you have 851 tendencies.
Classic Bike are doing a feature in next months issue (Sept) out at end of August.
(This month has a feature on the Scramblers. Includes one of the bikes someone took a picture of at WDW and posted here)
 
Should be worth reading even if your not an 8 series owner , The 916 may be iconic but the 851 was the bike that started it all :cool:

I didn't get in to find out!!!!!!!:mad:
Yeah, welcome to the Highlands!......couldn't believe anyone would turn off the pumps at 5.31pm when there is a queue of vehicles waiting for petrol at the pumps just because he shuts at 5.30!!!!!!! Especially as he was not opening on Sunday because of the Sabbath. Suspect he may not be "local" with that attitude.:rolleyes: Mate had an almost identical experience in Tongue on the Sunday! He is not a "local" I was told. Really p!sses me off when businesses treat people like that in the Highlands. :o Apart from making no business sense it flies in the face of the traditional hospitality extended to guests in your home or area. You've wound me up now! Oh, filling Station in Helmsdale has just closed this week due to lack of custom.......
