Organised
by Greenie and the Vespa
Club of Scotland, the Scottish Cannonball took place on
Saturday 27th August with around 7 scooters taking part in the
'race' from Perth to Elgin/Forres in Moray.
Here's a selection of photos taken by Niffy & Gary as the
meandered through the course...coming a good strong last :)
Niffy
& Gary leave Dunbar for the journey to the starting
point in Perth...
...but
only get as far as Edinburgh Maybury... a call to the
AA for help...
...then
we cancel them , as Niffy rejoins the carb to cable link
with the help of a pair of pliers from a passing scooterist
who was out running in a new Mallosi kit.
The
racers scooters before the off.
At
Glenshee... no time to stop as we're in a race... oh go
on then , I'll have 2 pies please.
2nd
gear at times, high winds and VERY steep roads
We
were told to get proof of being at Glenlivet if it was
closed... I picked a flower from their display an had
a rake in the bins... just beer bottle tops and sandwich
cartons though.
In
the Loft on Saturday night...many pints... and who's the
c*** on the left ?
Gary picks up the "Furthest Travelled" award...
...but then gives it back to it's rightfull owner...Skolar...
who came off into a tree while leading the race.
Niffy
celebrates anything...
Greenie
gets friendly with a pint.
Snail...scooter
professional.
If
you can make this one out - it's in a kebab shop in Forres
, can't remember taking it but... there you are.
Gary
, chirpy to the end...of the A9 , but that lovely giggle
faded on the M90 :)
Freewheeling
home.
"Are
we home yet?"
The
original Cannonballers... will you be in this year's photo
?
