i'm mega pizzed to have had to cancel the last run but the weather was awful.

I'd vote for hug the border... waiting to find out if I have a prior engagement tho. Hope to god it's dry and not windy (or even just not windy!) this weekend!
I vote for the Tummel run. Lived in Pitlochry for 3 years and love it up that way. Plus I'll get a nice pic of the bike at Queens View :D

If you did Hug the border I might have been tempted to ride up to Gretna but not sure hw delicate I will be Sunday (sisters wedding Saturday) and if WB is bringing his bike this weekend.....

Keep an eye out then - be a good reason to bring the bike out and let us all hear the new can!
Might not do your morning after headache any good though!

24-05-11, 09:39 PM
Also could be tempted if you do the Hug the Border run, might even be tempted to come and meet up at Broughton, taking in the Beeftub twice...
Typical! You come to the Borders and I'm working! Though, my bike might not even be built up by then...
ok so far we have
Tummel:
1 definite.
Borders:
2 maybes.
1 maybe hung over meet up.
Although I would have preferred the Tummel one, I would probably still go the other route.
What are the distances of the 2 routes as Im having google maps issues :( and what are the meeting/starting points?
The Guru
25-05-11, 02:08 PM
Tummel = 207 miles
Start/End McDonalds South Queensferry
Borders = 247 miles
Same start/end
Cheers Guru,
Looking like another wet and wild weekend according to Metcheck :thumbdown:
Looking like another wet and wild weekend according to Metcheck :thumbdown:
wouldn't read to much into that. it said at the start of last week that the weekend there was going to be sunny/nice.
my 2 fave hobbies are fly fishing and biking so i look at the weather a lot lol

25-05-11, 09:19 PM
Should make this if the weathers nice and sv gets through it's MOT tomorrow :)
oh and I vote for the border one
so we now have:
Tummel:
1 definite but will do either.
Borders:
2 maybes.
1 will if passes MOT
1 would but working and broken bike
1 maybe hung over meet up.
warning:
if we do the borders i WILL get us lost (i'm very very good at that) which is more fun:-)
as with all runs, make sure your bike is in good working order and you have a full tank of petrol before we set off. have enough money for more petrol and food/drinks etc.etc.
there will be a good few stops for chat and rests. the borders run will have 2 fuel stops 1 at Gretna 95 odd miles and 1 at Berwick-upon-tweed 177(82) odd miles. the Tummel run will have 1 fuel stop at Pitlochry roughly 115 miles.
and remember its a bimble not a race. if anyone feels that the pace is to slow then they are more than welcome to go and play then pull in and wait for the rest of the group to catch up.

my kind of run....shame i can't be there for it :(
Whats your feeling on this Bibster?
If you think it's a no go I'm going out to get pi55ed tonight...
seems like the weather is going to be much like 2day and yesterday. so it's on. but i might cut the route down and instead of going over to Berwick we could head up the back road to the glen cafe at st marys.
i'll pop a route up later. i was out for an hour or so last night and it was fine.
okay... I might not get drunk then...
ok here is the revised route:

there will still be a stop at Gretna for fuel but the other stop will be at Peebles or S,Queens.
if i get board and want to cut the route short i'll head up over to the glen cafe from Moffat. think its going to be a suck it and see kind of day 2morra.
for those that are thinking of coming but unsure and going to be late PM me 2day or 2nite and i'll give you my number.
Looking forward to this :-D. Enjoyed that last night and it gave me a bit of reassurance that Im not going to be a hold up.
What direction are you running it Bibio?
The service road is quite open so the wind can be quite bad on it at times.
I'm still undecided...
s,queens, carnwath, moffat, gretna if not lockerbie then up threw the back roads to st marys on to selkirk unless i decide to take the bumpy fecked road over to peebles then up to penicuik then end at s,queens.
but as i said it will depend on the weather and how i feel. might just end up as a magical mystery tour.

The road to St Marys from Moffat is shocking just now btw, until you get to the L+B border sign.
i wont be riding that quick 2morra so humps and bumps shouldent be a problem. besides the bib mobile is like a magic carpet ride now whith its new suspension :-)
I'm out Bibster, the LangWhang is horrid at the best of times, not doing it in any sort of wind. I'll maybe catch you out at some part of the afternoon though. X
na problems sweet cheeks :-) gives a bell if you are out and about down that way.
Can't do the whole run but might try and catch you on the way back up around Peebles.
Myself and a couple of guys from D&G are thinking of doing similar route tomorrow. Could meet up at Moffat and ride with you guys to peebles!
What time (approx) you gonna be at Moffat?
pm sent. but i reckon about 12:30-1:00.
Can't do the whole run but might try and catch you on the way back up around Peebles.
we should be up that way for around 4-5pm.
You guys still on for this?
Weather is pretty cr*ppy down here still, wet and quite windy. We've cancelled our run.
If you guys are still running and it brightens up, might meetyou in Moffat for a blether.
Sorry you couldnt manage SIII and I hope yer wee girl is ok.
Well I must say I really enjoyed my first bimble but the weather turned it into a true Baptism of Fire ! That was some serious wind at times but I loved it. Lance was a star crawling along at my pace lol but my confidence grew all day.
Not sure of all the Towns we went through but Moffat and Pebbles were 2 of them.
Got to meet Fenjer as well when we dropped in for a coffee and she was kind enough to point out the chicken strips on my back tyre.
All in all a brilliant day and look forward to more (in better weather hopefully)
Made it down to Peebles and hung around for a while but must have missed you. Good fun run but there was a real nasty patch about 5 miles north of Peebles with horrific side wind.
Likewise looking forward to going out in slightly better weather.
Ahhh its a shame we missed you. Might be better giving Lance your mobile to save the same happening in the future.
Thanks for the company today Artful. good day even though the weather was a tad crap.

Weather for next weekend is warm saturday and fair sunday.

I cant get out to play next weekend either! lol
Going out for a wee bimble today though. :)
Have fun :D
Hope the clutch is ok
slight change for this week peoples. the run will be on the Saturday 11th June.
i might have to go and do something in the afternoon till about 6pm and then do a run in the evening instead. if this happens then the run will start at the same place but at 6:30. if not then same run and usual start time.
this weeks run will be the Glen Clova Run:

Sorry Lance I can't make it... more money than anything else to be honest. But its not long till we can hug again :)
tiz not a problem sweet cheeks and no apology necessary :-)
Any more takers?
Be nice to see some new faces )and to give Lance some company away out in front) \\:D/
Would have loved to, especially as I missed you guys last time around. Sadly, wife is making me take her away on holiday for a week.
Will almost certainly be up for July...

I might be ok for this. Although I would not be up for the full route in the evening as my bike gets scared after dark :pale:
hiheehoo peoples. looks like i wont be going down the workshop after all. sooooo its an afternoon run.
since there is 3 fifers and a what ever area Grangemouth is 'west lothinan?' shown interest then it might be better starting the run from Mcdonald's at the Dunfermline retail park (Odeon cinema).
if so than i have altered the route for a more interesting one:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Whimbrel+Pl&daddr=56.1246525,-3.4198892+to:56.2994439,-3.7774061+to:56.71515,-3.95347+to:Perth+Rd%2FA924+to:56.72171,-3.45358+to:B955+to:56.795448,-3.0355387+to:B955+to:56.66878,-3.00835+to:56.576436,-2.9955819+to:E+Shore%2FB9131&geocode=FTyvVwMd6ibM_w%3BFexkWAMdD9HL_ykdjQuIb82HS DHxwW3hGWgMEw%3BFbMPWwMdglzG_ymvzwrZFoOISDHBcYPcGW gMEw%3BFY5nYQMdwqzD_yl5VoEJt6-ISDER2IHcGWgMEw%3BFWwiYQMdnUDH_w%3BFS6BYQMddE3L_ym 9lDwYtA-GSDFA7P7hGWgMEw%3BFT4_YwMd-dPQ_w%3BFTihYgMdbq7R_ym1CXi7-HmGSDFRxFfcGWgMEw%3BFYFUYgMdbc3R_w%3BFWyyYAMdohjS_ ynDKOVncGWGSDHRU1ncGWgMEw%3BFbRJXwMdg0rS_ylv5Zi-MWaGSDERrVjcGWgMEw%3BFcbhWQMdydTW_w&hl=en&mra=dme&mrsp=0&sz=14&via=1,2,3,5,7,9,10&sll=56.085064,-3.412457&sspn=0.034625,0.110893&ie=UTF8&ll=56.419978,-3.298645&spn=1.098336,3.548584&z=9
if there is any more interest from further afield then i will stick to the original plan. or if they are coming from deepest darkest westie land then i could be tempted to make the meet point in Mcdonald's in Alloa.

Route looks good,but have to give it a miss :( as I am working.
Is it anster for tea?
pete
yup Ainster for a bag o chips..
hihehoo ecossers. i have spoke to Jen and she is doing other things. there has been no more interest from further afield so i looks like a fifer's day out.
anyone who's planning on coming but has not piped up then do so now.
as its looking like us fifers are the only ones then the meeting point will be Mcdonalds at Dunfermline retail park (Odeon cinema) between 10:00-11:00. or if Blue Flame wants i could give him a buzz (need your number though bud) when we are leaving KDY. if Blue Flame can't make it then there will be no meeting point
the route will be: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Whimbrel+Pl&daddr=56.1246525,-3.4198892+to:56.2994436,-3.7774053+to:56.71515,-3.95347+to:Perth+Rd%2FA924+to:56.72171,-3.45358+to:B955+to:56.7954479,-3.0355386+to:B955+to:56.66878,-3.00835+to:56.5764358,-2.9955816+to:E+Shore%2FB9131&geocode=FTyvVwMd6ibM_w%3BFexkWAMdD9HL_ykdjQuIb82HS DHxwW3hGWgMEw%3BFbMPWwMdg1zG_ymvzwrZFoOISDHBcYPcGW gMEw%3BFY5nYQMdwqzD_yl5VoEJt6-ISDER2IHcGWgMEw%3BFWwiYQMdnUDH_w%3BFS6BYQMddE3L_ym 9lDwYtA-GSDFA7P7hGWgMEw%3BFT4_YwMd-dPQ_w%3BFTehYgMdbq7R_ym1CXi7-HmGSDFRxFfcGWgMEw%3BFYFUYgMdbc3R_w%3BFWyyYAMdohjS_ ynDKOVncGWGSDHRU1ncGWgMEw%3BFbNJXwMdg0rS_ylv5Zi-MWaGSDERrVjcGWgMEw%3BFcbhWQMdydTW_w&hl=en&mra=dme&mrsp=0&sz=14&via=1,2,3,5,7,9,10&sll=56.085064,-3.412457&sspn=0.034625,0.110893&ie=UTF8&ll=56.375898,-3.427734&spn=1.099608,3.545837&z=9 with a petrol stop at Pitlochry and stops about every 30 odd miles (as my wrist is fecked).
weather wise looks to be a mixed kind of day but not much wind.

crap weather but great company. thanks Blueflame and Artful650 for a fantastic day. sorry for the bail out at the end :(
Aye was some weather. Rained the entire day. Nice run though and good company. Great to meet Grant (Blue Flame).
Good laugh apart from my bike keeping on dying in the wet.

Fun for a wee while staying ahead of the weather but then the inevitable happened.

Just finished working on my brakes. Calipers had indeed seized a wee bit so a good clean and a fresh supply of brake fluid and all is well in the world again.
Get yourself a fenda extenda and some silicon grease for that front spark.
nice pics BF.
nice one on the brakes.

What time were you boys in Moffat today then? I was at that very petrol station on a St Mary's Loch, Talla, Beeftub, Dalveen Pass loop around lunchtime - got back home just as it started to chuck it down...
lol i was thinking that. BF has a magic camera

Sorry bud I can't make this I'm at knockhill watching the racing...
Me too \\:D/ If it stays dry 'ish.
Was going last year, till i saw weather report - glad i didn't!
Watching the web cam and metcheck.
nobody loves me. i might as well go huddle up in a corner and :smt022
only joking. have fun guys...
ooooohhhhh shizz i think i will amend my route if KH is on
Definitely interested. Not sure if I'd manage whole route though as knee is a bit buggered and don't want to knacker it before GM.
if you want to come then meet us at Mcdonald's in Dunfermline retail park at 11 ish

your back in September so there is plenty of time. make sure that Mrs A gives you a whole Sunday off ;)
tempted but doubtful, need to get the fuel pipe fitted...
halfords or motorfactors. take pipe off and take it in with you. halfords usually have it behind the spares desk so you have to ask for it.
cant take it anywhere, it's pee-ing fuel all over the place when it's running.
ermmmm.
let me spell it out as your a woman ''''take pipe off jump in car and go get a new one''''
ahh, sorry. ok. yeah. I have a new one, just need it fitted, though I think the one off the bike is 6mm and the new one is 4mm
send a woman to do a man's job :smt044
sorry Jen i just couldn't resist.... :rolleyes:
can you fit a square peg in a round hole?
ok i'm taking the pizz, lol. what you might find is that the end you have measured is off one of the spigots, which will have expanded the rubber slightly. i may be wrong. what your best doing is cutting the old hose threw a section to see if the old one is 4mm. if its not then you will need 6mm. or you could dip then ends in boiling water then quickly push it on the spigots. it may or may not cause fuel starvation if the pipe can't keep up with the flow rate.
if i had time i would come and do it for you.

yup. Mcdonald's Dunfermline retail park 10:30-11
i soooooo hope that the weatherman is right about tomorrow :-) it would make a nice change to riding in the wind and pizzing rain.
Cool, will be there. (or will txt if any issues)
And yeah, weather forecasts has been variable even just through today. If it stays as is just now be great.

Had a fantastic day. Excellent company and FINALLY some decent weather.
great day even though i have the direction skills of a dog chasing its tail (spaznav on the list of things i must get) lol
i will also say sorry for disappearing after Ainster but i really had to get a boogie on.
On the plus side... my U-turns are coming on leaps and bounds :D
it was all deliberate honest :rolleyes:

What lights you got bib?
If I get my headlights done by the weekend I might finally make one of these runs :)
50watt 5000k ones. boy are these things bright. they need to be angled down a bit more as i got flashed a few times last night but its like search lights nice and pure white with a tiny little hint of blue, but not chavvy blue. i had forgot how good hid was :-)

Cool. That's why I wanted the proper projectors, because the scatter from car hid's can be annoying.
Yeh they are feckin bright. I was messing about with mine yesterday and even though it was broad daylight they were still lighting up the driveway :p
