Just visiting
I've found a great cafe up here in Inverness. The owner is a Ducati fan and has a 748SPS and a Velocette. This cafe has a mezanine (spelling) floor which has four amazing Italian bikes perched on it. 1. 916SPS 2. MV Agusta Senna, 3. Benelli Tornado, 4. 999R Hodgson rep.
They are part of a vast collection of Italian bikes belonging to a mate of the owner - some minted guy up here! The collection includes one of each of and everyone of the Ducatis produced in the last 20 odd years!!!
The Benelli & 999 have never turned a wheel on the road!
He is interested in my Project Imola & may want one building for him (hey; look no further!!)
I didn't have my camera with me but will post some pics next time I'm there.

Anyone know this cafe - what a place?

If any of you come and stay with me while touring (read thrashing) round the Highlands, I will take you there.

I'll be on my way up there after the necks healed Ian and i think Ranald, davie, scottch and a few others are thinkin aboot it as well so don;t be surprised if we come up to take over one weekend.;)
 
Let me just say that whoever comes up here will be assured of a warm welcome. The more the merrier. We have plenty of room for people and their bikes. All I need is enough notice as I am quite busy with guest throughout the summer.

Which do you reckon will be fixed first - your neck or the bike?
Insurance companies are the world's worst at dragging their heels when they have to pay out.

two zeds - otherwise fine! If the proposed run up takes place in August it sounds like a good stop off - looking forward to that.
 
oh god - I have been halfway up a mountain doing a photo shoot for a Land Rover magazine with a couple of photographer mates (and the air is very thin up there!!!! ;) )

...it's another one of my bow strings - plug, plug - bike pics done for a great price!!! :rolleyes:
