So who else went for the ride out then?

AcIdBuRnZ · World Chat Champion Joined: 28 Jul 2003 Karma :

ProXimaCore and True Blue from BCF - Sash was supposed to come but her clutch is buggered, plus a guy from another forum (soon sort that out!). Sash was bringing a friend along too.

I know it ain't alot of bikes, but it's a start and we had fun.

had my zx6r not been in a few bits in the garage at the moment I might well have come along! Nice day for it Smile

(and the F1 wasn't worth the time I gave to it either...)

Met up at Stirling - headed up by Crieff (where I live) via Glen Devon then out to Loch Earn, down towards Callender and back to Stirling.

Weather up here is fantastic!!! Could not've asked for it any better.

Where about are you?

I live in North Ayrshire so it's a wee bit away but not too far. My mother actually lives in St David which i believe isn't that far away from Crieff.. it's a nice place up there, some nice road, too!

Weather's alright here but unfortunately i was working today Confused

Ouch, I'm in agony. The gixxer isn't exactly comfortable for a 9 hour ride out. Shocked

Yeah, any more Scots out there should join us next time. It was a good day. Nice to actually meet some other bikers for a change.

well it looked a bit grim this morning, but it turned out to be a spanking day Cool

. That's the most miles I've done in the one run ( 209 miles in total) and I wasn't that sore. My wrists were a bit but not too much.

I was good cause the four of us have all been riding more or less about a year. Can't believe we were out for so long, it didn't seem it. Though I'm surprised we got so far with me an Mark needing to stop for a piss every 2 minutes Rolling Eyes

I think we got in in the nick of time though. I was out washing my bike about 6 ish. Shorts and T shirt and a cold beer, sun shining. This is the life Cool

Then I heard an almighty crack of thunder. Uh oh! Confused

Then it started pissing down (see pic below) Sad

So glad we didn't get caught in that. ( and that pic is with my wipers on full)

Anyway I had a great day only a couple of hairy bends (yikes). Nice to finally meet some people, sorry Sash couldn't make it too. Next time though Thumbs Up

Some nice bikes you guys got too and ProximaCores exhaust sounds well nice Very Happy

I hope that rain doesn't come my way. The weather is still nice over here. Confused

Glad to hear you had a good time. I'd love to ride my bike on the roads back home. It's getting it there that's the problem. I've considered riding it there but it's boring enough on the train never mind breaking my back on the bike.

KBC Christened by the nastiest wasp today Embarassed

Right smack in the middle of my visor *yuck*

I'll keep you posted with paint job, probably going to leave it until after this girls only rally, up near Aberdeen, at end of month.

Never been on bike rally before, not sure what to expect - other than beer that is! Wink
