Roughly this area here.. http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 817&hilit= inveraray or maybe Campbeltown and right down the Mull of Kintyre,.....OR Inveraray , and maybe Glencoe , Oban, Lochgilphead ,then across the Firth of Clyde on the Dunoon to Gourock ferry.

So far it's myself , maybe Rich(Cupasoop) if he gets his oil leak fixed ,..Escocia (Bryan),...Blackneck(Ed )....possibly Bryans son and a chap from my work .

This sounded interesting, it would've been an opportunity to tell for sure if the white finger vibration I'm getting is coming from the bike or just another sign of krusty old age!

I think I'm heading off down to Kelso though, do you guys do this often? I'd like the opportunity of riding with some other VTR's if you do :)

Stevie, etc,
Watch out if you are anywhere on the A82 as there was a bit in the P&J today, that the Northern Constab speed camera partnership are going to be targeting it BIG time for a while to catch all the dangerous speeding drivers!!!

What one is the Q8? Is that the one at Bellfield roundabout, next to the Little Chef? Always thought that was a BP station?
