I've spoken to Jimmy on a few occasions since the demise of the garage, indeed we played a few games of football together. Jimmy no longer rides bikes, I'm not too sure but i think his rideouts were organised by Stewart Miller who is now selling bikes at Perth Motorcycles.
I've no heard of the Rebel Rats before, I must have led a sheltered life.

Rebel Rats formed by Ian Ness after Jimmy shut. as local Triumph riders not keen to ride with the dundee dealer, who will remain nameless took over Triumph sales. Stewart selling bikes in Ierland the last I heard.

Too much salt on the roads and a tad nippy for me, however I did drag the bike out of the garage and she started first prod! I'm sure the neighbours were very impressed!! <revving loud pipe smiley>

Good to see you too Flash! We had a good run over the Dukes Pass to Callander before heading to Lochearnhead where I parted company with Bob. Stopped for another coffee at Glen Ogle before heading to Crianlarich and down the loch side. It was getiing a bit nippy towards the end but still a good day out. Hope to do it again soon...

I start on-call for 7 days on Tuesday so don't tend to venture far during the week. If you wanna pop round for a coffe one eveining Davy feel free.
Enjoyed me run today, only one problem though. When we left the carpark at Aberfoyle i had put my wallet in me jacket pocket left hand side, but failed miserably to zip it up.
Yes, you've guessed it, i lost the bugger somewhere along the road. Had about £35 in it and the usual cards, so a bit pissed off with mesel.
Look forward to seeing you guys again in the future.
