Sunday drivers!

Who needs to go to the TT, Superbikes, Moto GP. Just spend an afternoon listening to the machinery whizzing past my doorstep.
I thought I heard a Storm (orange) 1050 Speed Triple (black) and a 900ss (red) passing yesterday.
"Davie" I heard every gearchange for 3 miles north and 3 miles south, must say the storm was head and shoulders above the others for the quality of sound.
Cheers

Had a good blast up round bonar, lairg and back by edderton. David Finnie was on the Duke and Willie on the Triumph 1050.
Haven't seen you out on the bike in a while, you got that seagull damage sorted yet?
Will have to arrange a ride some weekend!
Cheers
Davie

How could you "hear" what colour they were?
On a similar note, anybody with a red storm ride through Galston on Saturday(i think) afternoon being tailed by some sort of cruiser/custom thing?

thought it'd be easy to hear how fast they're going... 14 red ones went past, but so slowly they were undetected...

It was slip streaming him going down the straight, should have got him on the brakes going into the next corner.

I could hear what colour they were, as I was only about 8' away from them when they passed.
Probably with a combined speed of approx!!! 270mph.
Gull damage
not fixed yet, will be getting it done around August time, after Knockhill.
I hope there will be a decent contingent heading down to the superbikes on the sunday morning.
Cheers
