Looks great Mike,
Cracking photies
Dave's a wuss
Have to have a run up if not another Storm meet, taking this in as well.
**********************************
Buggering about with clutch today, damn thing seems to be getting air from somewhere but I'm beggard if I know where

Just get nice clean fluid through aand lo and behold, more feckin bubbles!
Got a little more clutch (well had none last week) but bite point is not far off twist grip - not enough for my liking.
Slave seal replaced last year and no sign of fluid in slave chamber so I'm assuming that's OK.
More of a tinker tomorrow, will probably replace slave cylinder & sprocket cover with spare just to see if it resolves.
Hopefully I'll get out tomorrow on her - if not might have to tap her up for a ride of Gixxer or Hornet

1st and 2nd pics are about 10 seconds apart. When you looked over to the west the weather looked crap, but on the eastern side all was sunny
It's only 60 miles up the road from me, and we take this route in on the way to St. Mary's Loch.
Funny you should mention St marys Loch, i might be headin Moffat way tomorrow ,and taking in the Dalveen Pass (again)
We kinda decided on goin North,but my mate saw Cupasops pics from our run on Monday and said he'd like to go there instead,so,weather permitin,thats the plan

A702 Elvanfoot to Thornhill , (south of Moffat) Rich took me it on Mon ,not too far but id never been on it
Wouldnt mind doin the Moffat triangle,up to StMarys Loch,turn left(unmarked on my map),then A701 back down into Moffat, Its meant to be a good bike route
