Three words not often found in the same sentence are ‘free’ and ‘vintage motorcycle.’ But that’s what the Kijiji ad stated, and Gord McLellan wasted no time sending a reply.
“The word free caught my eye,” the Calgarian says of the 1973 BMW R75/5 he found in Kimberley, B.C. “It was part of an estate, and the lister just wanted to get rid of the bike.”
I HAVE known Chris McEleny since he was a boy and I count him as a friend and fellow Greenock Morton supporter. I also endorsed him publicly to be the preferred SNP candidate for the Holyrood election for our constituency. That is why I was a little disappointed that he could not have given me a heads up, in complete confidence, that he was moving to Alba. However, I fully respect Chris’s decision to leave the SNP, and that will make no difference to me remaining as his friend. I wish him all the best. However, I must pick up one of the things that he said in his article in The National (The is why I left the SNP to join Alba, April 5). He says that “a lot of our fellow citizens voted No not because they were against Scottish independence, but because they didn’t support what was being offered by the Scottish Government.”
