And the only decent video I managed to take was everyone leaving the Castle today. Listen out for the backfire at the end. :mrgreen:

Boarding the good ship MV Coruisk....and a chance to dry out. This wouldn't be the one and only time for the poor soggy bikers amongst us. I did often wish I was on a bike, but this trip made me appreciate comfy seats, aircon and heaters more than ever.

....and not forgetting CombatFred.

The view from the Bealach Na Ba, the mountain pass through the glen to Applecross is stunning, breathtaking, awe-inspiring even. See the awe on the faces of the orgers in this photo....just beyond the mist. :cool:

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6489/lgim0036y.jpg (http://img19.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lgim0036y.jpg)

Moments after this shot, we crested a bend to see a few SV.orgers parked up, off their bikes, head in hands. The gut feeling that yet another bit of bad luck had come our way was dispelled when a lone GPZ'er was seen crawling out the ditch, clutching his arm and looking at his wrecked bike just off the verge. A lucky escape for him. We all stop to check he was ok, but the bike not so.

One last pic before we parted company at E.D.C. The locals went west, the rest went south. PunyXpress (naked curvy) nearly went the wrong way, back to Skye with Johnny....did you think we didn't notice! :)

http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3977/lgim0038r.jpg (http://img24.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lgim0038r.jpg)

Would you believe that 40miles, and less than an hour up the road from the pic above, a triumphant Johnny and me do the customary lunge at each other in the scorching sun at my place. Go figure! :rolleyes:

B@st@rds!

So you saved the best weather until we headed home:smt068

Can't view the video on this steam powered PC. And you've beaten Smeggons to it:razz:

Shame the weather was so pants, as some of the views cannot be described. Only a photo can do it a small amount of justice.

[Sally]

Really wished I could have been there, bl00dy exams :(
Some of us have been to that castle before too :)
Sorry if this is off topic, must have been on the same route as you last October.

Is that an SV graveyard? Where you just bury one part of your beloved bike before cashing the rest in for scrap? ;)

Great pics, shame about the weather :-(

[Quiff Wichard]

weather poor- much fun had however I guess.. lovely pics.. glad you all safe..

gee this org place is a good place to be.

[Binky]

Nice pictures. As always, dissapointed i couldn't come along, but then you can't make every ride.

I heard you had fun, despite the weather. That video made me laugh with Puny's back fire. :-D

[Crippled_Coopz]

Hello!

Quick introduction for those of you who weren't there, I'm Coopz, Haggis's friend
(although I was referred to as "cripple" for much of the weekend!).

I binned my gixxer last August and am still suffering the consequences. :( I only
really came along so that Haggis could still make it after his own misshap the
other week! Bet you didn't know he had his own personal chaufeur! :lol:

(I can drive, it's only walking and things like that that I struggle with! We were
both almost in tears watching the bikes disappear off into the distance as we
were stuck in traffic in the car! Have some sympathy for us two invalids!)

Here's some of the pics I took on my phone, I took a few on my camera too
which I will put up if I can find the cable! :scratch:

CombatFred's Busa (My best pic I think!)

Carlsberg don't make backpacks, but if they did, they'd look like this! Probably
the coolest backpack in the world!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/Coopz/DSC00195Medium.jpg

Panoramic view of everyone around the table at Eillandonan. (I know there's already
been one posted but this one's from the other side of the table and is a much bigger
image- click the image for full size, and you'll probably have to click again to zoom the
image out to actual size. It's wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!)
http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1417/panoramic.th.jpg (http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1417/panoramic.jpg)


Ready to set off from Eillandonan Castle (where us 3 Skye boys said our goodbyes).

And an hour later when we were back home...

Blinded-by-the-sun lunge!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/Coopz/DSC00204Small.jpg


It was really good to meet everyone who went along, you guys really are a great bunch!
I'll be back on to say hi soon, so for now I'll just finish off by saying take care and ride safe! :salut:

(You don't want to end up like me with my unfashionable leg-piercings from August till April!)

(They printed my letter in that issue, you might have read it! :lol: )

[pegasus]

very nice pics folks...the busa looks especially cool.

[haggis]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/Coopz/DSC00195Medium.jpg

In his element....Larry took the west highland weather all in his stride!
But there was the moment when Pete hit warp speed 10, and poor Larry got his dayglo tabbard ripped open to bare his 'moobs' at us in the car following behind. :shock:


It seems Larry and Lissa were the only two on bikes not to have seen the :rendeer: versus bus versus Ducati incident too.

Nothing bothers Larry, although he was very embarrassed about the moobs incident! :D

I can't believe I missed the stag! That'll teach me to be polite and thank coach drivers! Maybe Smeggons got it on video?

[Lissa]

Ok, a few pics from us!

Parked outside the wigwam at Strathfillan.

Lissa, you're not wearing WATERPROOFS are you!! :-P


Absolutely gorgeous views, makes me want to visit Skye even more now! Shame about the weather and the puncture and the stag (?) but glad it didn't seem to dampen your spirits too much :-D

[Quiff Wichard]

wonderful pics... given me a taster for a few weeks time..


I just imagining how many pieces Lissa's bike is in in her house now being polished and cleaned after all that water and grit..

The next morning and after chucking all the luggage back onto our bikes we headed a couple of miles down the road to Tyndrum lodge for the all you can eat breakfast for a fiver.

Not long after the ride got under way it come to a pause with PeterCo getting tugged. I then turned to Kilted Ginger and asked about the police helicopter but got re-assured that it won't be a problem. The rest of the road was done with caution and good job too as we passed a speed camera van and a large police car.

[Lissa]

Lissa, you're not wearing WATERPROOFS are you!! :-P



Trousers, yes. But I only used them on the Monday when I was already soaked through anyway. I was hoping that the sauna effect would dry my leathers. It didn't. :rolleyes: I will always have sympathy for incontinent people now, having spent the entire weekend with wet knickers! :D

I'm not long off the phone to Johnny, setting out on his Ducati forum rideout, waiting on the Mallaig ferry again. This time in the :sunny:, on his third ice-cream of the day! He told me a wee story.

One of the guys with a lovely new 848..... Pete's long lost cousin i guess..... treated it to a tank of diesel. :smt120

[wulfie]

[combatfred]

Couldn't have had 2 more different weekends Wulfie.

Hope you had a good 'un.

[yorkie_chris]

Nah, trying to shake off the one he'd just eaten.

He heard that the authorities were about dipping tanks checking for red.
