Killearn and BudaWest

Posted on by halleynet

A short ride out to Killearn to accommodate attendance at the BudaWest event at West Coast HD. It started a gloomy looking day but stayed dry and actually ended up pretty warm. Kenny was a newbie at leading under the supervision of Jigger and Stevie, nobody died so that has to rank as a success.

Don’t
Believe
Everything
You see (I’ll stop with the photoshop now)

Kenny chose a route to get out into the country quickest via the Stockiemuir Road which worked quite well but perhaps the ride back in via the Clyde Tunnel and then picking up the old A8 wasn’t the best. It was a bit gridlocked at times…not helped I think by some road works on the westbound M8 which seemed to be bringing a lot of local traffic off the motorway onto the back roads.

Jiggers 117 Breakout sporting its new stylish ( his words) Man Bag…needs a splash of “new” Clyde Valley Tartan on that mate
New member Chris learning that too much Michael Buble turned up to 11 like Denis can make you hard of hearing.
Sunglasses were a necessary accessory for the CVH members bathing in the glow of Tommy’s helmet…it lit the whole of Pit Lane for the afternoon.

Pitlane looked stunning bathed in the radiance of Tommys polished helmet.
Pete and Gordon search online for products to help them get helmets as shiny as Tommy’s

Not to worry, we all made it back in time for the sun coming out and the entertainment at West Coast. Quite a few cases of temporary retinal burns were reported by the reflected light from Tommy’s incredibly polished helmet….has there ever been a helmet that had so much attention…all that buffing.

Tommy collecting his prize for shiniest helmet… or maybe for his Trike.

We recommended Jojo maybe wear welding goggles if she was going to sit on the back bathed in the radiance of Tommy’s polished helmet.

And of course lets not forget the Cult of Lairdy which remained strong in CVH members and entertainers alike.

The Cult of Lairdy remains strong in this one.
Tommy getting anxious in case we finger his helmet and get marks on it.
Thats going to result in a nasty injury that could see you becoming a Cult member..
Told you….
Tina has an injured wrist (hope it gets better soon ). She joins the Cult of Lairdy. Tommy hadn’t recruited you to polish his helmet did he?…can cause RSI that can….
