The clubs latest news, events and photos will appear here.

August Club run to Burghead & Spey Bay – Only 2 members took part, which is very disappointing, as Cath from the Picts Fort had arranged extra volunteers to come in and give guided tours, not good for the club. The weather forecast was heavy rain all day, but no rain till 1.30, then it was only a steady lite drip. Malcolm and myself had a god tour of the site and the Burghead Well, then off to Elgin and then home.

Point to Point run – 25th August, 6 bikes and riders plus 1 car to part in the P to P run, with 1st was Malcolm, 2nd Emma & 3rd Cliff. Many thanks to Inus for manning the Bar-B-Q once again.

LNR Charity Cheque – Emma presents a cheque to Ron Williamson, the founder of Mikeysline for £145 proceeds from this years rally, with club treasurer John Williams looking on.

July 2018 Club Run – A run to far, from Inverness to Mallaig. The run to Mallaig was pretty good, very little rain and the odd bit of sun. A coffee stop at the Thistle cafe and a weather check by Dode, saw some prepare for the worst. The worst didn’t happen till return run, Bill left at Glen Finnan, Peter and myself left Mallaig before the rest who went for a coffee. The rain started just before Fort William and lasted up to Laggan. Riders got home sometimes between 5.15 and 8.30, a long day.

Peter Home & Alan Hopkins Funerals – Alan died on the 7th July & Peter on the 14th July, both Peter & Alan were laid to rest on Monday the 22nd July 2018 at Inverness, Kilvean cemetery. Some photos from the funerals.

Peter Home & Alan Hopkins –

Small cc and Older bike run – Saturday 20th July, from Dingwall to Tore, or so they said, but instead it was Dingwall and down Strathconon and back to Muir of Ord for a late lunch snack. One member lost his bike keys en route to Dingwall, no names, but he answers to Ralph. Another great day out in this great sunny weather.

Strathspey Railway – Boat Garten display, 19 bike on show, but sadly very few people to see them, it rained a couple of times, which was spent either in the shed or in the hotel or cafe eating and drinking.

Tom Elliott – This is to let you know the sad news that Tom Elliott died on Friday, 4th May 2018.  We are arranging a private cremation for Thursday, 17th May 2018. For those who did not know Tom, he was a true gentleman and a real bike, still riding into his eighties, he will be missed by all who knew him.

Tributes to Tom –
John Williams – Such a shame, he was a wonderful guy.
Dode Fraser – Very sad news.Tom was a real Gentleman. Who will be sadly missed.
Andy Loosemore – Very sad news, he was an example to all us oldies, and a really good bloke.
Richard MacIntosh – I know I haven’t been much of a committed member on and off over the years but I remember Tom with much affection, still riding his bike at 80 and beyond. A lovely, lovely man. I wish I had known him as well as yourself and many others. We stopped at his house for tea and sarnies above the Loch, dished up by his lovely wife on one run. Like many others I’m sure, saddened to read of his passing.

September Club Run – Only 3 riders and machines turned up for Saturdays club run to Portsoy. Nice steady run on a warm, bright sunny day. One stop at Buckie harbour to stretch the legs and lunch at Portsoy, then 2 took a run down to Dufftown. Nice day out.

Older biker and small cc run – Inverness to Fort Augustus September. Four brave souls turned up to to this run with 2 old bikes and 2 newer machines. The run was a little wet, but it had its dry moments. Brian Fieldsend lead the run, around by Nairnside, under the A9 and on to White Bridge for lunch, then down to Fort Augustus for fuel and then a ride back to Inverness in the wet.
