Great Uncle Edwin Hardon

I'll start this post off by sharing this picture below. Faithir seen it in his Classic Bike magazine. Surely its a fucking wind up, but I might be wrong.

Maybe be you can help me figure out if it is a wind up. Are you a Hardon? Do you know any Hardons? Perhaps you know someone who has recently seen a Hardon, or you might have seen a Hardon yourself. Get in touch if you can give me any information on Hardons.

Hardons aside, I've had a few good outings over the past few days. I got out a wee run on the GS with Ben and GHC. We mounted the Gopro on different parts of various bikes and made a wee film. Alot of the roads around here are a bit fucked as "they" are resurfacing the roads, but all they do is chuck wee stones onto hot tar. The result is a road surface that is like riding on marbles. Ideal for motorcycles.

My tea after the run. Hot and spicy pheasant and woodcock skewers.

The following Friday I got a phone call from Sweeney, inviting me for a pedal up the Pentlands. I've never been cycling up there before so I was well up for it. It was a nice night and the views from the Pentlands over Edinburgh and East Lothian are well worth the effort, and it took me a lot of effort! I felt pretty fucked towards the end of the cycle, there were some long climbs as well as some bits we had to walk up. Maybe I was feeling fucked because I hadn't eaten anything, when I got home I was starving. Luckily before I left I had put a big chunk of chinese seasoned pork on the smoker, and HB had made some nice tattie salad. Awesome.

After. It just fell apart. Yummy!

Here's a wee film I made of the cycle. It goes on a bit but I got some slow motion stuff near the end.

Aaron in the hills.

I got another run in on the GS over the weekend with Big Aaron. We went over the hills to Innerwick, a road I've wanted to film for a wee while, but the gopro was out of batteries. I did get this wee bit on my phone though. At the start Aaron is saying "Your on Mikeworld...." but the mic never picked it up.

Big Z Rex.

Today I took my Cousin's bike for an MOT. Its a cut down Kawasaki ZRX 1100 streetfighter. I loved my old ZRX and it was nice to get a spin on another one. Its for sale, if anyone is interested give me a shout.
