I am all for a laugh and an ability to laugh at oneself and one's country is good for the soul. I am also glad that tourism is such a great success in Scotland as the income from it is so very important to our national well being, however Scotland needs to develop more to its wealth making abilities than, tourism, tartan and whisky , important though they are.

In the past we have had heavy engineering and ship building to help along those lines, these days we have not and somehow, for our national pride if nothing else, we really do need to get away from the "I see you Jimmy" and the "Hairy Highlander" image that the rest of the world sees us as.

I do like the idea of having a bagpiper riding on the back of the bike.

Ya know, as a living historian who focusses on the same general time period as The Clann, I have to say that it's great to see another living history society getting some positive screen time. So often, people think we're a lot of Dungeons & Dragons nerds living in our parents basements. It's great to see this hardcore biker getting his rear kicked with the greatest of ease. So often we have people who think that we use fake swords and swing them around a lot. And there are so few groups who focus on civilian life! It's doubly great for me to see one of them, instead of a military group! Thanks for the link!

Regarding Paul Teutul jnr, a big plus for wearing the Saltire kilt. But also a big minus for having underwear on (and a little plus for taking the undershorts off).
Regarding Michael Teutul, a big plus also for wearing a kilt (but was he perhaps also wearing underwear?).
Sorry to see that Paul snr couldn’t be bothered. But then perhaps only his sons are of Scottish descent.
Oh, and I feel sorry for them if they think Braveheart is historically accurate.
Regards,
Mike

Wait just one minute....Braveheart isn't historically acurate? I thought is was shot during the thirteenth century as a documentary...next you'll say something silly like they didn't have movie cameras back then...
