Here's a wee place to park your memories of the excitement etc that took place over our lovely weekend together.
1. Cumfy crashed before he even got there.
2. Some rowdy sods kept Stuartyboy up and rendered his tent fireproof.
3. Indy went the wrong way TWICE!
4. Luckypants tipped his bike during a pitstop
5. Tosher got pulled, lectured and both fined and points for going slightly over the limit
6. Sunny, Quedos, Indy and MattSV had to weigh in with urgent CPR on an elderly gentleman walker on a rocky hillside location.
7. Sunny, Indy and Sally had to forcibly escort a junkied up fool off the site after he decided to invade our cabin at about 3.20am.
7. IP you forgot to mention the love shack in No 7 chalet!!! :smt008

I particularily liked the bit when Indy got fed up with the rideout and started his own breakaway ride :smt104 "You can't get the staff" :cool:
2 bottles of Grey Goose Vodka. Someone knows what I mean there :)
Watching Sunny completely own some ned.
Nob, 'Here, you guys just gave him a good kicking'
IP, ''Nope, we just put him off the site, you got a telescope lyk??''
Nob, 'Naaaw binoculars actually'
Sunny, Ip & Sally, ''What a Nob.''
just doin' be job Sally, IP and me (good cop bad cop) though I did read in the paper that some poor chap had to have binnoculars surgically removed - coincidence? or not?
Who was good and who was bad? ;)
Yeah I hope its not a coincidence :)
I'll you work that one out Sally ;)
Almost getting beatin to death by scaring the biggest F******r in the campsite thinking it was dyzio lol woops

The amount of noise Sally and Gerbrox were making it as difficult to miss...But I thought they swore you to secrecy Appollo? You'll never get to be in their gang now...
:P
the highs -
has to to be the breakway leader for number one.
getting slightly stressed when SB still hadn't turned up at Tyndrum in the morning
being able to stop traffic
Acosting poor Iain every time we stopped!!
Meeting another Iain on the hillside in the strangest of circumstance and discussing sandwiches
Sunny saying at 4am - f*** me they're at it again
watching pyscho bitch leave at 8.30 when the rest of us were all up - must be draining complaining all night
blocking the cop bike in at the Green welly at lunch
sally telling me a few times that it was just juice.

"Blocking the cop bike in at lunch". Yes that was amusing, but so was walking over to one of the bikes with him to inspect the front tyre. He thought it might have been on back to front and also had an SV after passing his test!

The lows -
Having only an hours sleep on the Friday despite picking what I thought was the quietest part of the campsite.
The drug ridden neds who pulled down my tent, two other families tents, ****ed on them then ran away and hid in their cars. The bottles being thrown, the fights between them and so much more
The campsite owners who were too scared to eject the same neds at 3 am. Me and the two other families had to do it ourselves then the campsite owners appeared at 5am and took the credit for it.
Being accused by the campsite owners of being on drugs - ****s.
The campsite owner gestapo who were all waiting for us on the Saturday night on the way back from the Drovers telling us to keep the noise down before we even set foot in the camp site.
Only being able to lead the rideout for the first stint because I was too tired to do anything else.
Sorry guys - I just couldn't lead any more than I did because I was so tired.
The highs - outweigh the lows considerably
meeting all the guys and girls, having a laugh, eating drinking and being merry in the Drovers.
Meeting new faces.
Hearing some memorable one liners
Some absolutely stunning scenery on the rideout.

YC - "that'll be 3/5ths of useless"
That was defo the quote of Sunday morning and it was more like...
"yeah that'll work. That'll do 3/5ths of fook all."
Also forgot the deer hind that decided to cross the road over Rannoch Moor when I was leading at SLIGHTLY over the speed limit. :shock:

The spearies chain stretching team, rendering andybrads bike unrideable at killin.
The Green 4x4 trying to get onto sunnys pillion seat.
Climbing up on top of the roundabout sign to make sure everyone could see where to go.
Finding 1/2 a dozen or so englishmen lost at a roundabout with only one exit.
Not realising you'd been stiffed for the bill for a meal until you get a pm apologising for it.
Watching iin disbelief as the leader rides off in the wrong direction for a second time despite your vain attempts to get his attention with flashing lights, indicators and horn. lol
Oh the tec going the wrong way whilst waving to the marshall marking the junction.
Watching Lp and SC munch down the biggest double chocolate caramel fudge cake, each...
Passing yet another broken down ducati
Stopping to help YC reattach his headlight with duck tape, and MissYC activating the brake light by bouncing on it.
The crabbitest woman on earth demanding silence for the 50th time.
Me and YC breaking inti the pingus topbox. (at their request)
think thats all for now

Crying with laughter whilst piling up all the chairs and tables outside chalet no 5 at 2 in the morning
Watching Quiff **** himself when Ralph's dog barked at him
Watghin Quiff **** himelf when he deliberately stood right behind my bike when I was reversing in to a space, so I gave him a big handful of petrol fumes (before I noticed the copper :-dd )
Meeting a whole load of new faces and having one of the best weekends ever
The low for me was not getting up the road in time to catch you lot after Tyndrum in the morning :rolleyes:
I was prepared for a flashy tabbard, camera pointing at me and white PanEuro at THAT bend just south of Lix Toll too. But no.....

Ah, that big disco roadsign thing, how cool was THAT? Coolest roadsign ever, even better than that one on the AR a couple of years ago that turned out to be on top of 10 metre high poles, so you rode up to it at eye level then suddenly dropped off the edge of the world like you're at laguna seca. MORE FLASHING LIGHTS.
watching Northy become impatient turning into the campsite only to find out we had all stoppped because there was a second car coming over the bridge.
Thought you were still being markers :riding:
The highs
Meeting a great bunch of people.
Watching Ben demolish a loaf of bread on Sat morn.
The amazing scenery.
The Drovers - I love old pubs (and new ones).
The susssshhhhhhh police on Saturday night - what was she on?
Some great malt.
Quiff, the amazing dog trainer.
Sally the slug in his tent on Sunday morning.
The lows
mmmm, not many.
Not making a week of it is without a doubt something I will be putting right next year.
The death - really feel for the guys that were so involved in that. And obviously for the wife of said walker.
Leaving so early on the Sunday without some good Sunday craic.
The high/low
The journey back - 9 hours but was a very varied route with very little motorway.
Is it June '11 yet????????
P.S. Nuke the damn midges will ya guys!

THE HIGHS
Not sharing a tent with Fenjer (sorry had to put that, lol)
You'd have hated it, I'd have stolen all the covers... ;)
you might want to unpack and re-pack the tent btw, it was packed in a swarm of midges, and the ground sheet was damp... Dont worry tho, the midges that were inside it will be dead by now. ;)
You'd have hated it, I'd have stolen all the covers... ;)
Who says we would have needed covers :makelurve:, lol. We will dicuss this further Fenjer, lol!
Have opened the tent only to find my own genuine swarm of GM3 nidges that survived, fortunately they can't survive a Spearie, BURN!!!:smt072
that is all, carry on
Cheers

Trust me covers were required... You feel free to be the sacrificial midge feast - but I'll have covers!
Trust me covers were required... You feel free to be the sacrificial midge feast - but I'll have covers!
Fair enough, so does that mean we would both just have to cower under them to survive...hmmmm,lol
Fair enough, so does that mean we would both just have to cower under them to survive...hmmmm,lol
very possibly...
hopefully stuartyboy has organised next years GM in a less midge infested place, then covers may be optional... ;)
will you two get a room (or at least a tent):D
Q, I'm still being well behaved, besides we have the tent, just need the venue, lol.
(Sorry Fenjer, you will get a bad rep because of innocent lil me!):-$
Cheers
LOWS
People not making it, for whatever reason. :(
Not managing to get to speak to everyone yet again! :rolleyes:
Four hours of high winds and torrential rain on the Thursday culminating in riding through cloud so thick we couldn't see ten feet ahead. Moderately scary! :shock:
