    Ok so Friday morning 9.15am in Galashiels will be the start of the tour. (Be ready to leave at 9.15)

    First meeting point is Asda Petrol Station - cheap fuel for those who need it, cash point and other supplies at huge store for the 'oh shite I forgot XYZ'

    Bing Maps - Driving Directions, Traffic and Road Conditions


    Next/2nd stop will be at the cove for pictures at the Forth Bridges

    From there we will fill up at the Shell garage before heading over to Knockhill Race Circuit for a few parade laps.

    I'll add to this as we confirm stopping/meeting points.

    Please understand that those meeting up later in the day must be flexible on meeting points as I'm sure you'll understand that it will be a very hectic day to try and get everyone together.

    Next fuel stop is planned to be 120 miles away from start listed above - I am confident all 2008+ bikes can do that without fear of conking out, but there is a place by Forth Road bridge to top up if needed but really think this won't be needed

    Got a bit of one of those already! ;)

    Tbh al it's actually pretty good on fuel, I've had nearly 150!(ish - not big on noting mpg) from brim to empty on tour.....
    Although on a recent run I'd say it was 20% thirstier than daves blade!?
