Friends, who needs friends?

So the planning, or lack of it continues, only one week to go now and we are on our way. One of the great things about motorbikes is yes they are fast, yes they are exhilarating but most of all they are a great social hobby. What other hobby would you get to spend a week away with your mates doing something you all love. Touring is great, visiting new places is great, finding new roads is great but best of all is that you get to do with with mates who share the same passion for motorbikes.

Well or so we thought, turns out that not everyone on the trip equally sociable.

Meet ‘Gavatron no mates’, Gavatron has decided he is going to travel up to Scotland on his own because he doesn’t want to wait a couple of hours for Edwards and Williams. 

Could it be that he is scared he will not be able to keep up?

Could it be that he is worried about riding in the dark?

Could it be that he is worried that the Triumph will break down?

Or could it be that he is just a ballbag?

‘Edwards I don’t believe it’ and ‘Williams does my bum look big in this’ will soldier on though and try not to take it personally. At least it will make trying to find accommodation easier.
