I spent five days in Edinburgh in early May. Stayed at the Knight Residence, right down the street from a couple nice topless clubs Went to the Hard Rock, Castle, usual stuff -- mostly walking. Definitely saw some nice looking scooters there.

Post those pics when you can!

arthurs seat (dormant volcano)the starting place for the festival parade due to tram works in the city centre





me and my iron bitch. was going for the cool pose but ended up looking...... well........ uncool. bike looks good though





the parade coming down the mountain to holyrood palace. around 300 harleys felt like a rock star if only for a few minutes

Missed the military tattoo in Edinburgh last visit. Pictures bring back memories on Holyrood. Nice Cross Bones that you have.
