Scotland storm 18 --- photos and aftermath

Post by AMCQ46 »

Last of us heading home now, so time to get all the photos and memories posted up.

Thanks to all who came and joined what turned out to be a McQueen family ride out. That was the most people who have turned up for this meeting by a long way, but the bunkhouse venue was great and we could have fitted more in

Another great weekend , will do all the credits later when I am home but it was great to go out for a ride with both my brother and sister. I have never done that before.

great pictures there Fabio ... I see my sister has already used your photo of her on the Spyder as her new Facebook profile pic. :thumbup:

not sure where to start with the credits and thanks ... it would start getting a bit like a crap oscars speech as there was so many that contribited to making it a great weekend.... each and every person who came, they brought some of there own personality to the event, and thats what made it so great.

the location was almost perfect .. the only downside is it is miles from anything, so no walking to a pub or a chippy or a shop... but it did allow us to all sit round a volcanic camp fire and chat till early hours, but because of the remote location we need to give special thanks to gabi for trucking in the beer and burgers in his car.

but fast as me and my brother went, me on the storm and Norman on a KTM RC8, there was always a bloke with a red helmet on a little silver 700cc single cyl husky vitpulin there as well ....... I though maybe he had got the belt of his coat caught on the KTM foot peg and he was being dragged round against his will, but james and that little bike were flying!!!
