    I turned to the dark side a long time ago mate.
    I nearly bought 1 before I bought the SP1.

    As an investment your better off with a nice SP1.
    I honestly can't believe how well they ride.

    Ah the good old wing it trick. Been a fan of that for years :)

    I might bring the GoPro along for some footage. I want to get some footage of the run down from Glenshee, as I forgot to switch it on during the Scotland tour.

    Well once again this forum comes up trumps when it comes to the guys we meet on here.
    I got up early this morning and got the bike ready to meet the guys at Finavon services. Only I was way to excited to wait around the house. So I headed off early and got there around 45 minutes before anyone else.

    Bike ready for the off

    Then the beautiful RC8 arrived and Andy and I (I'm shit with names so this might be wrong), started to have a bit of a blether before Ross and Trev turned up.
    We then hit the coast road up to Stonehaven for the fish supper I had been told was not too shabby (It says on the window it was voted best in UK)

    Once we had a good chat and finished off our fish (which was damn good), we decided that we should get on the road as the weather started to come in off the north sea.

    From Stonehaven Ross led the way up to Braemar and kept a good pace for us to stop and have a chat in no time.

    Pics from Braemar of the bikes

    From Braemar it was onwards and upwards to Glenshee and unfortunately the rain started to catch up with us to stop us fully enjoying this fast stretch of road. Although from the sounds of things behind me they were having a right laugh as Andy near went off the side of the road ;)

    Once over the top we stopped and Andy and myself headed for home, with Ross and Trev heading back south bound and home.

    All in all a great day out with like minded blokes and not even a bit of rain spoiled my day.

    Thanks guys
