First Real Run (Well for me anyways)

[Duck-man]

Hello all!

Well finally got my bike sorted (tax issues and no insurance docs, but someone on MCN told me I could do it online!! Sorted! And then went home last night, lo and be hold there was my insurance docs! Nice!)

I went out for a run with a friend who has a (dont laugh now! I can see you guys in the back row starting to snigger!!) Cagiva Mito 125 and he is still on his "L"s but he likes a good run as much as the next one of us.

Went out to meet him at Roslin then we where supposed to go out to West Linton along the A701 and then back up on the A702, but we missed the turning in Penicuk and ended up in Peebles!! HAHA! (Last time he gets to navigate! :roll: )

Drove back along the A72, up the B7059 to West Linton (Nice road :D), stopped at the wee pub there (we know the chef there :D) and then back along the A702 in the dark! :D

Got home at about 10ish and it was great fun!! :D Such a buzz! and I couldn’t stop smiling!

The SV is great fun and fills me with confidence (carefully though don’t wanna over cook it!)

Hopefully the weekend will be dry so I can go out and play again! yeha!!

Cheers

Did a similar run on Sat myself, also my first big run. Unfortunately I had no 125 to keep up with :( My best pal was knocked off her bike on the M8 the day I got my bike. She's OK, but bike written off .. Both gutted but :) she's OK..

I'm in Dalry. Where are you? Weather is supposed to be good for the weekend so hope you get a good run. Here's hoping as it got a bit too interesting yesterday on the bike with the wind :shock:

I am over in Cannonmills. I am hoping to get home sharp the night, fix my throttle unit, and go for a blast down to gullane along the beach road :D

Its been blue skies and very warm all day!! I just hope i can fix the unit on to the handle bars in time! :D

[Prawn]

Hope you had a good run to Gullanne! I didn't go for run, saving myself for the blues skies today! :cry: Got soaked! Never mind, still had a good run, although a bit of a scare with some diesel, evil stuff :evil:
