Well folks it’s well over six months since I had the scooter out however yesterday I had new metzeler feelfree tyres fitted and as the elements look promising for the next few days I intend to visit the green welly over the weekend - pictures to follow

God forgot that place went there years ago, ashamed to say not been north of the border for quite a few years now

Me, too. For several years I drove Finchley Sea Cadets up to Loch Oich in our coach for a week of water-sports in October. We always stopped at the Green Welly on the way up.

Och well I never made it out on Saturday however I covered around 115 miles today - fuelled up at Dumbarton then Helensburgh - Garelochhead - Arrochar - Inverarey - Dalmally - Tyndrum - Crianlarich then home to Balloch along Loch Lomondside - bitterly cold though - image depicting a bagger beemer at Inverarey - nice very nice

Agree they are nice (can't believe I'm complimenting a BMW ) but try shuffling one about or low speed full lock turns they are bastad heavy front ends

The bloke riding it engaged reverse gear and negotiated his exit from that parking space with consummate ease

Is it a proper reverse gear or like the Goldwing and Just "pulls it back on the starter motor"

Sorry the answer to that I do not know

Just found the answer - Yes, there’s Reverse (but it’s optional). A worm drive off the starter motor backs you out of tough spots when you push the R button on the handlebar.
