    I totally love that road because it's like a rolllercoaster lol
    What the issue with the scoobies?
    I might go to Knockhill on Saturday. Full track day! But it's fully booked so will wait for someone to crash and hopefully fill his slot.

    Ach just the usual boy racers.
    Last time up there it was fast on the straights and heavy braking at corners which was a little frustrating.
    Maybe he was a novice or something. ;)

    I much prefer the road from Inverary to Dalmally.

    Ok,

    The Blade is finally back on the road. First ride out last night, albeit only 15mins to test suspension it was still the first time out since the bump.

    Looking to see if anyone would be keen to get something put on the calendar? Something similar to what we had planned before, or even something smaller. Any suggestions?

    This is very late notice as I think everyone on this thread is quite spaced out. However, I’m going to head out on the bike tonight, looking to head down the A7 from Dalkeith to Galasheils, Over the St Mary’s Loch road to Moffat, then out the back of Moffat to Edinburgh area.

    Anyone fancy this? I don’t get home till around 4ish so I won’t be at Dalkeith till about 5:15 ish. I know the chances are slim of people making it but I thought I would put this up anyway.

    Cheers

    A wee run to Mallaig on Saturday beckons with my mate on his RSV4.
    Likely via the Welly and Fort William.
    Anyone else heading that way at the weekend ?

    Heard today that the boys in blue will have a heavy presence around the A82, A84 and A85 (basically all the good biking roads lol) so take care and keep your eyes peeled.

    Yep they were out.
    Caught my mate, on my bike at over 100.
    Then said he wasn't insured and were about to seize my bike until I walked back up and went off on one with them.
    They then cancelled the pick up.
    Thing is, he is insured for other bikes, but they said they checked and it came back no.
    They also checked me, no doubt to try and do me too, but it came back that I am.
    Tadgers. Just about 300 yards from the welly coming from Bridge of Orchy.

    I was at the welly yesterday and was surprised at the many innovative ways they find to hide themselves I bushes and the like. Easy pickings for the police yesterday that's for sure. I was out on my BMW R nine T so was flying under the radar lol.
    Im not sure but If I remember correctly if it's a court appearance on that stretch its Fort William. If it was the other road towards Dalmally it's Oban. At least it was for my last court appearance.

    Am sure he will find out soon enough.
    Unmarked Burgandy Audi estate was what they had.

    What time were you at the welly yesterday ?
    We were there about half 12 and then about half 6 on the way back.

    Seen a nice MV Brutale Dragster 800RR yesterday.
    Very nice machine.
    I like the look of the R Nine T as well.
