Found some photos from the first bike
rally I ever attended in 1991 on my Dnepr MT11 650. The quality isn’t great as they
were taken on a small cheap camera.

It was run by the Cossack Owners Club (for
owners of soviet-bloc built motorcycles) and held at Strathyre, in the
Trossachs, in Central Scotland. In fact, club president, and owner of the
lovely little orange Planeta Sport you see here, admitted that the name of the
area was his main reason for holding the event there as he liked the idea of “Cossacks
in the Trossachs”.

It turned out to be a pleasant weekend
away. The sun shone, I met up with a great bunch of folk, we went green-laning
on some forestry tracks, and there was much idle chat and drinking of beer. I’ve
been doing something similar on a semi-regular basis ever since.

Hi, that is/was my Planeta Sport. Love the photos, I have a few too. PJB COC.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd had a better camera. I'd only had the bike a few months and it was a great opportunity to meet up with other like-minded folk. I think I still have the issue of Horizontal News somewhere with the rally report and some more photos in it.
DeleteThat is my Planeta Sport and front of my Ford Fiesta! Cheers Peter COC!
