Was thinking about a wee meet for fish suppers somewhere for old and new members that is handy for an afterwork run/meet/head home.
Any thoughts on this or possible meeting place ?
Cheers

Seriously sounds like a plan mate just don't let Andy organize it :lol .

I have noticed that since I stopped making an effort to organise meets we haven't had any, so one and all step up and sort it.

how about Dumbarton? :D
That seems Perfect Gringo, then every can enjoy going through Glasgow after it takes us upto an hour to get there, then back through to get home :pokefun :D
If anybody looks at a map Lanark looks the obvious choice. Roughly the same distance for the majority from Glasgow area, Edinburgh ish and lonely me down here. That way you even get a wee bimble on yer bike there and back. The chippy there has ample parking and one can 'sit in' if one choses. Thoughts anyone !!
When :- A week night, I suggest a Wednesday as we can check the forecast on the Sunday/Monday and post up if you are going. Again,Thoughts.
Cheers

Good to see Baz again not seen him for a while.
Was a good night with food aplenty and a good bit of banter, hopefully next time we can have a few more foccers turning up.
Post by: Dunky on 02 May 2012, 10:23:22 pm

Russ looking forward to that BBQ mate as I missed out due to circumstances last time just mind keep those quads locked away from Neely :lol .

Good to see some old faces and a new one, nice to meet you Chris.
Road works, what road works !! Clean run home, ace.
Defo do again, maybe head the Kilmarnock way next time. Have a wee go on the A720 :)
Post by: Looney tune on 04 May 2012, 08:20:30 am
and spoke about which way we were going down to the meet. If we were to travel down the way we came back last year we could pick up Dooks and Fluffs and anyone else for that matter on route. Dooks and Fluffs normaly leave between 2pm and 3pm so the question is :-
When suits everyone for the journey down ?
Answers on a postcard, but on here would be better ;)
Or if someone has another plan let us know.

Callendar, Dukes pass etc sounds good and if the masses prefer to go that way for a meet then go for it. Time and distance wise for me on a week day is not viable, as doing half the return journey in the dark avoiding deer and rabbits is not appealing.
This would make a good bank holiday bimble one day :)
Gunky Dunky, Neely and Andy will be there tonight, not sure about anyone else tho.

On September 25th 2011, MAG organised a Demo against new anti-motorcycle legislation proposed by Europe. It was the biggest mass ride-out of bikes this country had ever seen, with a total in excess of 40,000! The next Demo will be on Sunday 24th June 2012. This time the rides will coincide with each of the 12 EU Parliamentary Constituencies in the UK. All rides leave their start point at 1pm prompt. Some rides have dispersal points, some have finish points where you can park up and chat about the amazing event you have just been a part of!
We are not trying to 'beat' the turnout from last September, we are targeting the constituencies of MEPs who can vote in Europe and make a difference. But obviously, the more bikes the greater our impact, so please see details below for a start point near you.
Please see https://www.facebook.com/pages/EU-Hands-Off-Biking-A-Motorcycle-Action-Group-Campaign/265550043541800 (https://www.facebook.com/pages/EU-Hands-Off-Biking-A-Motorcycle-Action-Group-Campaign/265550043541800) and www.mag-uk.org (http://www.mag-uk.org) for more information.
Scotland Constituency Ride
Start Point: Glasgow - Kelvin Way Gather from 12 noon for 1pm setoff.
Dispersal Point : Disperse at Junction 2 M8 Near Edinburgh.
What do we think guy's ?

This is a complex condition but can thankfully be simplified by merely stating that the patient has innate and almost carnal desires to exhibit feelings of euphoria and glee when allowed to actually manifest. Their feeling arises from change and specifically, change from the absolute norm. When the norm exists, the collective consciously gravitate towards parity, acceptance and even, on occasion, derision, depending on the extent of the condition. However this case is somewhat different in that it seems to harbour this compulsion for acute, rampant and unabashed exhibitionism under the right environmental factors.
Research is, admittedly, still largely inconclusive in this particular area, however, given what we have determined thus far from the scant empirical data gathered and indeed, the case in question being allowed time to develop their position, it appears that this end is mainly born from the individual being suddenly in possession of a VFR

Ma wee story.
All those who know me will know that from July I am to busy to play as I start the crazy hour season. September is a little better as I can manage a Sunday afternoon off, unfortunately this year I managed to bag me a dose of pneumonia :eek . This was at the beggining of September and didn't know I had it till I landed in hospital in a pretty poor state over 2 weeks later. After a week in hospital and X-rays 4 weeks later, my lungs were still full of shit. I have an appointment for X-rays on the 30th but going to the doctor tomorrow as I've had a shit weekend.
Other than that, all is well and if anyone fancies a bimble down to Thornhill let me know. My boss has bought a hotel there and I'm sure lunch would be a cheapish event, would be good to have a wee meet.
All the best
Russ :)

How many of the Scots bunch get up to the green wellie at Tydrum? always a good place for a meet etc, usually end up trhere a few times during the summer..Been staying at Inverardran House at Crianlarich since 2004 when I did my first Scottish National Rally, loved it so much did the next year too, then came up with groups of friends each successive year until 2010. last two years have come up from Kent in car with the dogs, as can't persuade anyone else to come up on a bike!

About74and a half mph. Very nice dunky looks spotless
I'm sure your one goes faster than that balloo .
Will we start the Lanark meet again when the weather improves :rolleyes , looks like we could have a few new faces. Any newbies please say if Lanark suits or somewhere else but that area is good for most :)
Sorry Budgie, didn't mean to take away from your post. The May meet could be doable if family stuff fits in :thumbup
PS Are you a cage fighter ?

I know it's a game of take your chances when they come, which Juve were great at. But how can you when you get wrestled to the ground every time a good chance comes your way (apart from Efe).
Hope you weren't at Sevco's game at Annan in one of those double deckers !! they were told to park elsewhere as the top decks were full of supporters watching the game without paying as the 'stadium' was so big they could see over, oh how the big league feels ;)

It's rained or snowed here every day at some point since the 29th December. If evolution is on course we will soon be born with webbed feet.

Would anybody be up for a week night meet somewhere south of Glasgow within sensible reach for foccers who work till 5 ? Food at venue while we do our shit talking would save time. Lanark was the last meet but please feel free to suggest another place to meet.
Let's us know your thought's, old and new members apply within, spread the word via anyway you know.
This will end up a short notice event as the weather is just shit and unpredictable just now.

As Russ has said there is a fair few Scottish members kicking about so if anyone is interested in a wee meet-up at weekends or thru the week stick a post up on this thread and lets get a few gatherings sorted before the year ends.
Let's hope the weather turns for the better and we get a few more good days or even better weeks.

On another forum I use to be on they use to get a Scottish gathering on a weekend meet early plan a route and disappear for the day stopping for lunch and then riding in the afternoon til we said our goodbyes, we've had rides up as far as Mallaig, Fort Augustus or Oban via the Appin road taking in the Kinlochleven loop great road just a thought would be up for summit like that, don't really see the point in meeting somewhere for a chat when we could be having some fun on the bikes
I'm up for that, we have some of the worlds greatest motorcycling roads in the routes mentioned on our doorstep......I love going up though Loch Lomond, Tyndrum, Glencoe, Fort William then on to Mallaig and back down via Oban to Inveraray and home again.........some great roads and great scenery too
Post by: Looney tune on 09 June 2014, 10:57:33 pm
Personally weekends are hard for me as I work 7 days and see my son every other weekend which doesn't give much time for the other people close to me.
You can fire on and do what you want, but I'll say one thing, if a weekend run is what you have been craving for why didn't you put a thread up saying so ?

Post by: Looney tune on 09 June 2014, 11:26:43 pm
For me and some of the others it's more about the chin wag than the run. The reason we picked Lanark was it's even distance between most of the interested members and the road from Douglas to Cumnock, great road and easy for people to peel off for home.
I know you weren't having a go, I'm just a grumpy Foccer ;)

Russ if you fancy going during the week give us a shout ;)
I'm up for a day out, but not staying over as these chalets are stinking g of puke
Post by: bigbluebear on 10 June 2014, 09:58:09 pm
It's to be a great day tomorrow so I'm off out for a ride I'll be heading to Inveraray and maybe taking the back door to oban via Lochgilphead
