I was fed up readin about you lots proposed meet-up , knowing i couldn't make it , havin said that, if any of us had proposed it, i suppose us Scottish members could've arranged something

Anyway, myself and a couple of mates went a run today ,(non-stormers) although one has admited to browsing the site occasionally

We did roughly 240 miles round trip ,there were loads of bikes out everywhere

Hope you lot get decent weather , nothin worse than lookin forward to somethin,then gettin rained off ,our weather was mainly good, but got the odd shower ,though not too bad at all ,roads mainly dry

We went via the Erskine Bridge , Loch Lomond, Inveraray ,and up to Oban.
Home via the Green Welly Stop at Tyndrum ,rather than our more usual ferry journey

Here's a few pics .

At the "Rest and be thankfull ".

i'd say we were in Oban roughly 1.00 pm -3.30pm, Must've just missed ye , cos we stopped at Connel Bridge around 12.30 , i presume you went over it
Was loadsa bikes parked at various locations oot through Oban

Nice one Stevie

It sounds like you had a really good ride out Great pic's, some beautiful scenery

Chris.

Thanks Stevie



Missed my annual holiday to Kintyre then you go and rub it in with Oban and Mull piccies (one of my fav diving destinations) !

Cheers mate




Think one o' the guys at the dive club's running an October trip up there, must see if I can get on it. Found out last Friday one of my dive buddies has just applied for citizenship to New Zealand, so it may be the last chance I get to have a boozey dive trip with him

Sorry mate,
i know a while back you said you were goin, i just assumed ye had been
Ps ,we never got our Mull of Kintyre run either this year

Stunning mate!

Me and mine are going to a cottage near Inverness for our honeymoon last week in October - I'm PRAYING for a clear (if chilly) week! Should be great no matter what!

What about a Scottish bash next year - Easter maybe? It'd give us time to organise it, find a bike friendly campsite (or B+B) to use as a base and muster the troops! I'd be well up for it!

Inverness area is excellent , a good base for seeing around ,hope the weathers kind to you

Try and make some time to see the area

I think some of the forum members have done an Inverness trip ,im sure they met up with some of the guys up here Not sure if Inverness has recovered yet,

Did the Spean to Laggan/Dalwhinnie road alright. A lot of it has been resurfaced and is now as smooth as a baby's elbow. I even gave me tyres a roasting, edges a bit chewed (not too bad for an old boy, the ZX makes old codgers like me look good!!)

Heading up to Skye next week for lunch with me dad, anyone care to join me for a blast?

Skye....thats a island i'd like to go to sometime , ive been to Arran , Mull, Bute , and Cumbrae ..
From my dads house in Troon i can see the "paps" of Jura...
