What have you done to your non Triumph today

Rode the Dukes Pass then the Crow Road, after lunch and a lot of bike chat in Aberfoyle - one regular has changed his CL500 for an admittedly lovely Moto Guzzi V7. No accounting for taste! :laughing:

Coos? Do you mean kye?

I don’t know what kye means…. I just meant the cows because of an earlier post!

Those are Shetland, no?

So glad someone is getting out and enjoying the weather! I saw loads of bikes heading out for a ride when I was driving home from work tonight! Talk about jealous :grin:

Down here, kye is the plural of cow, e.g. a field full of kye. I grew up with a father who used local Scots words a lot. It appears in some of Burns’ poems. Still in use, I think. :slightly_smiling_face:

Don’t know about Shetland, Wim. See my last post.

This is what I found, Dave:

Shetland Kye - Slow Food in the UK.

Interesting. So ‘kye’ for ‘cattle’ is obviously a far more widespread term than just in Galloway and Ayrshire. :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

Out with an old pal for his first proper ride for a long while. Only had the GSXR for a couple of weeks.

He was nervous but really enjoyed it he said :grin:

Just noticed this is in the wrong thread!

Please can you move it to the What have you Done with Your Triumph Today thread @Octoberon

Nice rideout with a pal today, passing the top of Loch Earn with the Mirrorman statue and ending as usual at the Aberfoyle biker cafe.

Unusually I wasn’t on the smallest bike there today!!

I imagine they come with complementary brown trousers. I assume the little girl wasn’t riding pillion…

I have to say that your Honda looks rather nice. :slightly_smiling_face:
