Anyone on here? I saw you parked up and you caught up with me just after ballater when the two porsches came past. Lovely looking back in my mirror at the car it has such road presence. Was hoping you were going to come past so I could finally hear what a noble sounds like from the outside passing someone. I was in the home delivery van you were behind.

That was me.

Thanks for the spot.

Was out for a spin to Crathie and back with the wife. Was just going a nice easy pace (unlike the Porsche guys….. overtook me on an ‘almost’ blind bend…. brave dudes).

Will look out for you next time!

Yeah the porches passed me on a dodgyish straight that if a biker came the other way they would have needed mroe space so i was ready to jump on the brakes. Used to be 3 or 4 Nobles up this way but not now.

Your easy nice and easy pace was my maxed out i was allowed to do pace lol.

Yes. At one point there were 4 or 5 Nobles in the North East. I had a new 3R in 2004 then a new M400 from 2005 onwards. Just through 18k miles with mine.

Regarding the driving today I also got overtaken by a red Fiesta doing I would say 80mph around a blind bend just past the Aboyne airstrip car park heading west. Madness……. My wife was shielding her eyes…….
