Just wondering if anybody would be up for a meet/run around end of September, beginning of October?
Dates I've got in mind are 26th/27th Sept.
And 3rd/4th October.
So just say when suits you and we'll then organise a time and place that's central to everyone wanting to go :)
-
Count me in if it ends up Oct date
-
Weather dependant I could probably make a wee run on any of those :)

That's a bit of a bummer, depends on others but I'll be able to meet up regardless of when you get off?
-
Right, seems like it's best to do Oct 3rd or 4th as September is bank holiday weekend.
So who's up for it?
-
Me! Will put in for days off toninght

Saturday or Sunday?
Any day suits me :)

If you're looking to make it an overnighter we've had some really good experiences with this mob here. (http://www.macdonaldhotel.co.uk/)
Central to all the really good roads, especially the Kinlochleven TT.
Sadly I won't be attending, a little too far to ride, even for me.
;)

Don't think overnight was on the agenda, bit I'm up for 2 days riding :lol
That's a shame you can't make it, the distance would be just a wee tad too much for you :lol

Yeah I'm good for Stirling area, then a wee trip anywhere suits me :)
-
How about us Glasgow Boys head out via Stockiemuir, Drymen, Gargunnock, Stirling services for meet up then do Doune, Callander, Strathyre, Lochearnhead, Crieff and back to Stirling services then home? About 150 miles and under 4 hours in the saddle.
-
Or!!! We bomb it up the M80 for meet and come back via drymen? If the last few days are anything to go by it will be a cold start to the day but warmer later.
-
I'm happy to meet anyone in Glasgow area and then head up to Stirling if that suits anyone else, what sort of time suits everyone to meet at Stirling? 10ish?
-
10 at Stirling sounds good to me. Takes a while to get to stirling with them darn cameras on the a9.....

I'm easy to meet anywhere, but will depend on getting my boy up that early, if he sleeps in, I'll need to head straight up the M80
I reckon getting him breakfast at mcds in Helen Street will get him up :lol
-
Could meet at mcds Anniesland back of 8 for a double sausage n egg mcmuffin then up to dunglass for 8:45ish. Just because youngsterbiker is an insomniac doesnt mean we have to kick off quite so early

Ahh that's true, forgot about the mcds there :) that would be a plan although I just go for the single sausage and egg :)
Yes youngsterbiker has no need for sleep, he's made of certain stuff :b

Did you not say the last time that you wore the trousers? Or did she tell you it was ok to say that? :b
No probs Mick, enjoy your pasting :lol
So I'm going to meet pickles at Anniesland mcds for 8am then head out to Dumbarton for 8:45 then onto Stirling to meet youngsterbiker then where? We need suggestions.
I say Callander, dukes pass, Aberfoyle etc :)
As Mick said, weather's meant to be fair to us tomorrow
-
I'll be at Stirling :)
-
Fine by me Sinto, we can finalise route at Stirling when we meet Youngsterbiker. See you at Dunglass, Clanadam.
-
Excellent looking forward to it.

Yeah my boy and I did too :)
We had to get back so I cracked on, I thought pickles was joining you as I said to him a couple of lights earlier I was heading home.
Looking forward to the next runs too :)
-
Thanks for today, was fantastic, great roads and we got the weather!

Your welcome mate. Anytime :)
Did you enjoy the road back from Inveraray?
That you home now?

Here's my diary of events today....
Up at 7am, bike out and no leaks etc.
Got my boy up and ready at 7:30 with a promise of at mcds in Anniesland to tease him.out of bed, it worked :)
Arrived at said mcds for agreed time of 8am to meet pickles, who was late! :lol
We duly had our breakfast and a wee chat once he arrived.
So headed to Dumbarton to meet clanadam, on arrival we meet and greet him and his pal. After another bit of banter we all head off to Stirling services to meet youngsterbiker, I said I'd go at the back as I had a pillion and thought my bike was a bit 'squidgy' so wanted to take it easy.
We all arrive safely at Stirling (albeit someone nearly headed to Aberfoyle as they didn't see a 'wee' sign) :lol, some sports bikes needed fuel, (get a fazer lads :b )
So I think I better check my tyre pressures, just as well I did! Back at 33 and front at 31! Double checked with pickles electronic gadget, so I duly go and get them blown up a bit but at £1 for air minimum charge what a foccin rip off, but better £1 down as apposed to a bike down :eek
youngsterbiker is running a bit late due to a wee drinking session last night, some thought he looked rough, I'm sure he always looks that way :lol
Route decided is head to the green welly for lunch / bite to eat/ rest etc. Good clean run, nice bends, nice overtakes :)
After a rest we decide to head to Oban but turn off for Inveraray, but at the junction it's decided to head to Oban and then Lochgilphead and then back to Inveraray :)
I bet youngsterbiker is wondering if he'll ever get home today :b and he needs petrol at Oban. En route I'm talking to my boy and he wants something to eat again! So I decide to stop there and gets chips with free seagulls :lol and then I was going to head back to Inveraray then home, so we said our departing words and good wishes to all in the group.
After our chips my boy and I head to Inveraray and decide to stop for a wee rest and who do we see at the car park? Well I won't say you lot were speeding but WTF? how did you get there? By jet me thinks :lol
So after another wee catch up and a few people mentioning an unmarked police car in the area we duly persuade youngsterbiker to come towards Tarbert and then go up the Loch Lomond road to get home (hope he enjoyed it)
As it happened, we didn't need to worry about the unmarked police car as it's blue lights were going like mad in the opposite direction so for now, we were ok :)
Got to Tarbert and youngsterbiker peeled off and headed home, we then carried on towards Glasgow.
I got home after 240 miles with a big grin and dry thanks to the weather holding out for us. No rain and not roasting, best sort of day me thinks.
All in an absolute brilliant day, really looking forward to another foccers day :)
Cheers fellas, was good puting faces to names :thumbup
So it's a shower and early to bed for me, but not before I have a couple of beers, well deserved I think :woot
-
Disappointed I missed this. Need to make more of an effort next year methinks.

Hopefully the weather should hold fir a month or two and we should get another run or two before the year is out :)
-
Hope so mate, I just taxed mine there for another year so I want to get a bit more use before it needs to go away for some work over the winter
