Must be a friend of yours as I don't have any haha !Do you ever miss Scotland,,asking for a friend

Only been back 3 times in 25 years , always for "family reasons" , not the best reasons and in October 2005 the weather was "bowfing"
Came another trip in May 3 years ago for my mother's 80th and there were some nice days. She lives down on the lower Clyde and some days the Clyde was glassy all the way across to Helensburgh. Beautiful in the extreme.
Next day was HOWLING PISH but of course you know this.
The scenery here in Western Australia is not so "grand" , but the vistas are huge to a far horizon.
275/290 DRY DAYS per year depending if it's a "wet" winter or not ! You kinda gets used to that since 1990's onwards.
Most of my "new" mates here are expat Brits , a few Scots amongst them. A few "Serth Effricans" as well.
ALL motorcyclists bar none !
For our local run today I will be rugging up under the Eastman Luftwaffe (my warmest leather jacket) as it is a 2C start. Frost when I walked the dug (dog!) this morning. Long sleeve thermal T shirt under my "disco gear".
22C on the ride home. Coupla "coffee" stops already planned on the route.
"Home sick" pangs disappeared for me way over 20 years ago , the missus took a wee bit longer. All good now.
Do I "miss it" ? Well of course , and not too deep down neither. "Such if life" to paraphrase Ned Kelly...
That is a great jacket.Mister Freedom’s Campus jacket
FiveStar "Bronco" A2
Vanson Perf Force for a quick ride. Pic makes it look newer than it is, weird. Great riding jacket.

Yes,,,a warm damp cloth does the jobMaybe a stupid question, but have you ever had a jacket like that covered in bug guts?
Can it ever be saved?
