6th June. Failing Eyesight Motor Cycle Club.

Decided to view prospective work in Falkland by motor cycle tonight, for two reasons.

One, because falling asleep is a lot less likely and two, to familiarise myself with riding in preparation for this coming weekend.

It's that time of year again when the F.E.M.C.C. takes to the road for its annual rally, heading in the approximate direction of Ullapool then round by Cape Wrath and along to Apoplectic Head or maybe just as far as Mild Irritation Point.

The members have to contend this year not only with failing eyesight but also bad backs, in fact they'd be as well renaming it The Bad Back Riders.

Even I had a few twinges the last couple of days as a consequence of over doing it with the kango Hammer, however I found to my surprise that the riding position gives a good lumbar curve and the continuous jolting coming up through the back wheel acted as a vibro-massage for the lower back.
