Muchos Gracias for the organisation, a great weekend had by all :)

Pretty fortunate with the weather too, especially on the run home today! Means I don't have to clean my bike (like I was going to...)

BTW if someone's looking for a Samsung phone charger, I've got it. The cleaner found it in room 1, which I think was chucca?

No sir. Thankyou!

You made a bloody entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable weekend for us all.

We got in the door at 5pm, safe and sound and knackered. Back tyre had got well past useable by Kyleakin, with 40miles to go it was feeling decidedly iffy. Didn't wanna risk binning it or getting pulled over so called in a favour from my mate with a bike trailer.

Great to meet old friends and make new ones too. :D

Another great GM. Thanks to all who organised!

And my first without a breakdown!

Good run home too except for the nutters who buzzed Grant and me on the Crieff road.

Home now, bike clean, me clean, and having a beer.

We got home at 7..... Have been lying in the bath since then easing the aches and pains :D was a fantastic weekend and was really good to see everyone again. The venue was fantastic and huge thanks to everyone involved in the organisation... You did yourselves proud. You peeps know how to put on a good show and my names down already for 2014.

I dropped my bike again at the Green Welly :( No damage cept to my already battered and bruised right elbow. My mind had already been made up to change the bike but weirdly and maybe a touch of fate I lined up a buyer at the green Welly and once he's checked on an insurance price he's hoping to come and collect the bike in a Couple of weeks!!!!

Hope everyone arrived home safely and roll on next year :smt026:

I got back about an hour ago :D Absolute belter of a weekend all told, weather's been nigh on perfick and the SV has behaved impeccably. I went on up to Skye as planned after seeing you guys off, got to Broadford at lunchtime and found out my mate wasn't available till late afternoon...sun was out and I had a marvellous excuse for a bimble :smt077 Bezzed up to Dunvegan and walked a coral beach. Set off this morning after a fry up, took the single track road to Kylerhea and the dinky ferry across then experienced more stunning scenery, nicely recommended Dean, I was singing your praises coming over that hill :mrgreen:

HUGE huge thanks to the organisers and everyone who made it the superb weekend it was, never a wasted trip to bonnie Scotland. And a first for me, it was bloody midge free! :D I've a LOT of photos as always, when I get a chance I'll upload a few x

Back at my desk and not quite able to turn my head without rather a lot of neck pain, think i need to build up the tolerance to the SRAD, or buy a tourer for touring on :).

Its going nowhere till payday anyways, rear tyre is pretty much shot now.

Great to have met you all, still running about up here like a nutter (Today is a day of rest tho, getting a little saddlesore!).

Great time was had!
