Come on boys fill us in with how the ride up there went.That is one hell of a trek.From us southerners down here.
We are at 'the new Delhi bar and restaurant, 11 melgund place, hawick, td9 9hy' £10.95 for 4 courses = bargain!
Some rode 500 miles, others took the high road, some took the low road and some were in Scotland before me....
Well done all you guys travelling up from so far. I'm just back in from packing my bag and getting everything set for the meet up tommorow in Galashiels. Couple of pics
hope to be down at south queensferry tomorrow at 10 am. assume its the long car park where most bikes park up on sundays? drove home earlier from Edinburgh. lots of surface water! sadly may not have time to even do the knockhill laps as family stuff cropping up.. but still hoping to do that and head home after. one way or another I,ll be down there tomorrow. ride safe guys!
Muffking, all a bit worried about you. We are in weatherspoons for a beer after curry. Can you post thqt you are ok when you see this please.
Have heard from Muffking but not great news which explains delay. Will update what I can in morning when I have more details. Very glad I spent time to collect contact details in advance
Yeah that was a good call as I had no signal. Basically to all, it's now 2am and I've only just got to the B&B from the Borders hospital (sorry if I woke anyone up when parking outside). My mate went down just south of Hawick. His front wheel wiped out on a bend with what looks to have had a diesel spill, compounded by the wet. He went down on his shoulder which did some damage but also cracked a rib. You'll see him at breakfast though as he's staying behind at the B&B. Pic for ref. The bike isn't rideable as he cracked his clutch casing and dumped his engine oil, plus a few other bits of damage, so I've made the bike secure and locked it up off the road. In the mean time if his luggage turns up at either B&B then please let us know as the police were supposed to drop it off.
Blue sky here right now folks for how long tho is a lottery, I am heading to south queensferry for 10am down by the cove so hope to see the forum tour then tag along up to Crieff. Have a safe ride up from border country guy's
