Wee Bonnie
@jackferrante.bsky.social
Riding my Triumph Bonneville in Scotland...whilst pursuing my love for travel, and good food.
Met up with friends in Alloa today, then went for a ride around Dunblane, Stirling, and Doune. We stopped at the David Stirling Memorial, which commemorates the founder of the SAS. Although we got soaked at one point, it was still a great short ride to keep the wee Bonnie running through the winter.

Just over 200 miles round trip today to visit one of the most iconic locations of a James Bond movie in Scotland, Loch Etive...and also stopped in Glencoe on the way of course...one of my favourite places in the world.

We were set to ride towards #Glencoe but once reached #Tyndrum, with a bit of traffic, we decided to turn back and rode mostly back roads, towards #Killing, #Crieff, #Stirling, and #Kinross. We hardly encountered any traffic and the sun was shining. A superb #motorcycle day! #Triumph, #BMW, #Guzzi

Out for a meet today, I came across this unusual Soviet motorcycle that's over 40 years old. It's an IZH Jupiter 350cc (I believe it's a two strokes), a twin-cylinder model. Have you ever seen one? What struck me was its simplicity yet functional design.

The sunny morning drew me out of the house although unplanned, as I had some work to do. Still glad to join the Scottish Café Racers meet for a coffee and a wee run from Cupar to Anstruther and then back home, just over the Queensferry bridge. Good chat, good ride, good coffee, and a very good day.

An incredible #motorcycle weekend, #riding a #Moto #Guzzi #V7 #Sport, supplied by #Agostini #Mandello. Tackled mountain passes and tight hairpins all the way to #St.Moritz, Switzerland, before looping back to the stunning #Lake #Como. An unforgettable ride through breathtaking alpine scenery! 🏍️🇮🇹🇨🇭

A friend dropped by for coffee, while out testriding the new #Moto #Guzzi #V85 #Strada; an impressive #motorbike all around. We're both on the hunt for our next #bike, so naturally, it turned into a great session of #motorcycle talk. Love days like this. ☕🏍️

A fabulous day trip a couple of days ago with the cruisers guys visiting #Stirling, #Callander, #Killin, #Kenmore, #Aberfeldy, #Crieff. All on large cc motorcycles but the V7 held its own. #Suzuki #M1800R, #Yamaha #V-Max, #Indian #SportChief, #MotoGuzzi #V7

A wee evening ride before the expected stormy weather for the next few days... #Linlithgow #Scotland #Moto #Guzzi #V7

Explored #DumfriesandGalloway yesterday, all the way to #PortWilliam and was pleasantly surprised...although the roads closure made it a real challenge taking me to paths that I would not normally tackle with my #Guzzi #V7

Last night I suggested this place to meet for coffee...I'm in love with the view.

Last weekend, 16 of us on 12 #motorcycles, met in #Edinburgh, and headed to the #Inveraray #Blues #Festival for the weekend, in glorious sunshine...at times it was even too warm...in #Scotland, can you believe it? #Guzzi #Harley #Triumph #Yamaha

At times, you just need a little time to yourself...

Because of the deteriorating weather, we had to change our plans. This morning, we decamped from Lake #Windermere in the #Lake #District and headed east toward North #Yorkshire and #Northumberland—two very beautiful counties in northern #England. #Guzzi #Triumph #BMW #Honda
