Alan took it along to the gathering to meet up will old friends and reminisce about bikes but, unbeknown to him, his son Marc and daughter Alana had actually had his Bonneville fully restored. Colin Craig, of Loch Ness Restorations in Inverness, took the bike along to reunite it with its overjoyed owner.
