TOPIC: Ickle Beemers down the beach!

Ickle Beemers down the beach! 2 years, 3 months ago #18423

Fiona decided she wanted to take her F650GS out for a run today so took out the Ickle Beemer to keep her company! Of course, took her down some strange little roads from Elgin down to the Spey mouth at Kingston via Cadgers road! We then progressed offroad to the gates of the military firing range, interesting little road, especially if you drop down off the track on to the rough ground beside the anti tank bollards!
Less than twenty minutes from the house and Fiona's lying on the ground with her pride and joy Beemer lying next to her! Well, unfortunately, I helped her pick her bike up instead of taking a pic,,,, sorry! (It's ok, she was laughing!)
We progressed back to the old firing range where I decided a bit of trial riding was called for, I love the Ickle Beemer for crawling around off the track, brilliant little bike! On to the dip at the car park where Fiona almost slid sideways into me at the top of a big rise she rocketed up! Well, we tried a few action shots of the Ickle Beemer, a couple of wheelies, nothing spectacular but good fun!
We had a cracking afternoon down the beach, the F650's are good fun bikes, no denying that.
Stopped for a few pics along the beach, here's the best of them;

Matching bikes & helmets - It must be love!

Is that the beach near Lossiemouth with the pill boxes Jim?

Re: Ickle Beemers down the beach! 2 years, 3 months ago #18436

Ha ha! The helmets are matching, yes, but her Beemer's newer than mine, 06 plate. Love? yes I'll admit to that!

Yes, the beach from around 2 miles from Lossiemouth down to around a mile from Kingston is lined with anti tank bollards and pill boxes. Around two miles in there's major concrete gun emplacements from WW2, can be seen on Google earth. Not so easy to get on to the beach from the Lossiemouth end but no problem from Kingston, closest thing to green lane up here.

Jim will you stop telling people where we can go to play on the bikes - they'll all want a go

Glad to see you both out on 2 wheels.

When we going to test ride that Triumph?

The sooner the Better Steve or I'll be forced to turn to the dark side and buy a BMW! I'm enjoying the Ickle Beemer sooo much now it could be sharing the shed with an F800GS!
Fiona will call Shylocks on Monday to see what's the story regarding test ride of the Tiger 800 mate.

Nice one Jim .

Great Photos of you both and a wee wheelie , thats unusual for you ..LOL

Hope fiona is not suffering after her little off .

Re: Ickle Beemers down the beach! 2 years, 3 months ago #18464

Thanks Craig, Fiona's fine! Mumped about her ankle for all of 30 secs then got back on the bike!
Here's a slightly larger wheelie but not the best one, it was when Fiona panicked and put the camera down when I almost wheelied on top of her! LOL!
