2006 End of Season Ice Cream Run. Sunday, 12 November.

[Cronos]

As discussed, let's agree the end of season run. None of this namby pamby October run to Brighton like they do darf sarf. The SV Ecosse end of year run traditionally takes place in November and is a wee sprint to St Andrews for an Ice Cream.

Thermals and winter gloves are optional.

Proposed date is Sunday, 12 November.

As the man says, whats the plan? who is going to step up to the plate and organise this in nuttys absence, Fancy it duck-man, baptism of fire and all that, although looks like Cronos has already volunteered

[Duck-man]

What happened last yr? Where was the meeting point/run?

We could just do the same again?

[colinbal4]

who is going to step up to the plate and organise this in nuttys absence

Be our Guest!!!

[jim@55]

well as far as organising it goes ,it really doesnt take much ,you turn up at the meeting point and go!!westies meet at hein gericke ,great western rd at 9.00(ish) for a sharp 9.30 dep and head up to kinross to meet up with the east coasters .can i just say first ,i know nothing apart from that :lol: i went last yr butthat goes for nothing,if somebody rounds up the easties i can do the same through here ,butv as above its not hard ,meet+go :wink:

[jim@55]

only thing is -im not an sv rider anymore ,all we need is rab to turn up on his harley and itl b a sv/cbr/hd any bike that turns up rideout ,last yr we had cbr 400 and a pan euro so it cant b exclusive .btw i can get kinross easy but st andrews from there :-k some body else'll have to lead the way :wink:

[northwind]

I had mine DNA tested and apparently it's part SV :) So that's alright then.

[scooby2102]

which part northy, the frame :shock: :lol:

[northwind]

Dunno. One of the sprocket bolts maybe?

[Duck-man]

ok

hows about us easties meet at south queensferry at the macDonalds? Then head up to Kinross to meet the westies (in some sort of cowboy and indian show down no less! :lol: )

where in/at kinross?

What time do u westies get to Kinross? And we easties could work backwards from ur time?

I will (try) and post a route later today from Kinross to St andrews and then see if folks agree/disagree?

(I have never done this run so any routes which are good please shout up!)

Cheers

[Tiger 55]

Won't we be having a VFR 400 this year? Or are you scared the Mrs will leave us all behind? :wink:

[Quedos]

Can I invite another If I'm going. We've hooked up with another biker chick - can't remeber what she rides a Kwak I think but then who knows. She's also a nurse in cas we have another incident like last time!!! 8)

[Kilted Ginger]

Can I invite another biker chick - She's also a nurse

YES PLEASE! The more Biker chicks / nurses the better as far as i'm concerned :oops:

[independentphoto]

Can I invite another biker chick - She's also a nurse

Might actually read sv/cbr/HD/yzf/zxr if you include Jimmy n me

Is it safe to assume quedos has changed her mind and is now going? Or does that just make an ASS of U and ME

[Sheila]

I think the rules are if you own a mini moto you must bring your mini moto.. :wink: ... or did I just make that up??! :scratch:

& Quedos & friend had better be there..I'll be countin on it!!! :)

[northwind]

Cool 9am at HG in Edinburgh :D


If we're meeting in Edinburgh, Maybury services (the big Shell) is better... Just off the bypass and on the way, so it means no riding through the town, meeting up,riding back through all the traffic...

[BIG Al]

I think the rules are if you own a mini moto you must bring your mini moto.. :wink: ... or did I just make that up??! :scratch:


Ok mini moto it is but no power ranger leathers :smt104 too cold for them

[suicidesam]

Could end up... sv/cbr/HD/yzf/zxr/GsxR if i can persuade ma m8 that got his bike without telling me to come along :evil:
Have explained that we dont bite etc :roll: He needs to get out more on it, the chicken strips are bigger than the worn part since he got new tire's on it :lol:

Maybury services is good for me 8)

[suicidesam]

Ok mini moto it is but no power ranger leathers :smt104 too cold for them

Go buy some thermals to wear under them.. got mine already :lol:

[BIG Al]

Go buy some thermals to wear under them.. got mine already :lol:

WOT! no they're summer leathers you know full of vent holes...God if it rained I'd drown

[stuartyboy]

I will (try) and post a route later today from Kinross to St andrews and then see if folks agree/disagree?

(I have never done this run so any routes which are good please shout up!)

Cheers

I should really read the Stickies.

OK Kinross is an erse kick away from me so I know all the good roads. From Kinross to St.Andrews is incredibly boring and straight all the way so here's a great route.

Kinross Services - Kinross - Balgeddie Toll - Glenfarg twisties - Newburgh - Abernethy - Cupar - St Andrews.

Some nice twisties to make it a bit interesting

[stuartyboy]

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :shock: :shock: :twisted: :twisted:

Did I read nurses earlier?

\:D/ :smt038 \:D/ :thumbsup:

[Duck-man]

OK northwind that sounds more sensible.

Us easties could meet at the Maybury Shell Station for about 9ish then?

My mate on his GSXR may be tempted to come along too :D

Hopefully should be a good turn out

:twisted:

Stuartyboy: If you now a good route then lead on :D I dont know the roads at all up there so a bit of local knowledge will be spot on ;)

[Prawn]

Room for two more?? :) My friend doesn't have an SV though :?

[jim@55]

prawn-if ure friend doesnt have an sv ,he/she wont b alone then(i dont have one either anymore)so it doesnt really matter :wink:

[Quedos]

I've change my mind annbd I'm coming with you lot!!! if ain't raining and I'll call the nurse who shall remain nameless and keep you posted!!

[northwind]

OK northwind that sounds more sensible.

Us easties could meet at the Maybury Shell Station for about 9ish then?

My mate on his GSXR may be tempted to come along too :D


Works for me... Don't expect me to lead though, I'll probably get lost between my house and there :)

[Blue Flame]

Here is the route from the last time we went.



Ice Cream Run (http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/gran****son/SVEcosseIceCreamRun.htm)

Don't know how it compares to Stuartyboys route cos I have not ridden some parts of his route but I do know the Cupar - StAndrews part can get quite heavy with traffic and is boring :wink:

What do you think Stuartyboy ?

[Sheila]

OK northwind that sounds more sensible.

Okay guys Sth Q Maccas & HG Edinburgh both fine for me, and preferring the later, but Maybury Services.. give me a clue please???!.. Sorry! :roll: All I could find in Multimap was Maybury Rd near Gyle.. is that it?? :?

[Cronos]

Maybury is probably the easiest meeting point as it doesn't force people to come into town to go back out again.

Maybury Services.. give me a clue please?

What do you think Stuartyboy ?

Thought I would try last years route so my mate and me did it on Sat. It was very frustrating from start to finish. :( Loads of traffic all the way there. :evil:

The route I posted is pretty good. From Kinross to Balgeddie is good flowing twisties for about 5 miles. (Colinbal4 will know this part well as his brother stays in Auchmuir bridge). From Balgeddie to the Newburgh is very good one you get into glenfarg. The Glenfarg stretch is a local bikers favourite known as "The Glen" and there's a couple of peg downers, some really nice twisties. It's a fantastic stretch on the way back as it's uphill all the way.

Newburgh to the Cupar junction is usually very quiet traffic wise. Theres a fab uphill straight thenn you're into cupar. This is the Cupar motorcycles test route. Once we get to cupar we could join the last part of last years route otherwise straight to Guardbridge.

My mate will probably join us so either of us will be happy to lead the way.

[stuartyboy]

Update:

I'll butter up the wife and *MAYBE* she might make some lentil soup. NOTE I said *MAYBE*

[Prawn]

prawn-if ure friend doesnt have an sv ,he/she wont b alone then(i dont have one either anymore)so it doesnt really matter :wink:

Excellent! Will be good to meet you all! :)

[Duck-man]

I am trying to bring along a few mates too.

One with a GSXR, and the other with a TT.

The more the merrier i say! :D

[stuartyboy]

A TT. I had one of those. Black softop. No good for a bike rideout though :wink:

[ianofbhills]

I'd like to come i live right next to st andrews but i'll be in cyprus then 8)

[Duck-man]

A TT. I had one of those. Black softop. No good for a bike rideout though :wink:


HAHA!! :lol: A Triumph 600 TT! :P

He only just passed on friday and bought it on the saturday! 8)

[Cronos]

Can't make now as I've got a 9am flight on the Sunday. :(

[carelesschucca]

I should be coming don't care where we go as long as we end up in St Andrews, eating Ice Cream...

[Quedos]

Sorry Guys - kirsty the nurse is unable to make it - due in theatre that day.
Me I'm not so sure got back problems and the bike will not make it any better. I refuse to pile painkillers down my neck before anyone else mentions it :lol:

[on yer bike]

I've went and got myself employed, so will only make it if I can get sunday off, lol

[Blue Flame]

I've went and got myself employed, so will only make it if I can get sunday off, lol

Congrats on the job. What u doin?

[on yer bike]

I'm a full time student, and part time working as a marshal at Delta force Paintball

[Duck-man]

I'm a full time student, and part time working as a marshal at Delta force Paintball

So we could get a discount for an SV ecosse night out! :wink: Hee hee!

[on yer bike]

It's unlikely, its the cheapest I know of already £5 - £6 per hundred paintballs, cant get much cheaper than that!

[suicidesam]

So... Who's gonna be meeting up at Maybury from the Eastie's then?

Just so i know who to look for :roll: Also.. is it 9am meeting time?

[DarrenSV650S]

Perhaps the first post could be edited to include the meeting points and times for clarity :roll:

[Duck-man]

Easties Meeting at Maybury at 9ish

Suicidesam
Duckman (Blue Curvey, Red(ish) Arai Lid)

[northwind]

Me too for the Maybury. What time are we looking to be at Kinross for? Every extra minute in bed counts...

[jimmy4237]

Just be at Kinross services for about 10ish ready for a 10:30 to 11am start off. That's early enough for us lot (especially on a bloody cold Sunday in November).

I want some some photos of all the gang plus bikes(depends on the weather & who'll turn up more like it.....) so I can make up a last season video trip before the majority of us hibernate our bikes for winter time.

Lets go paintballing in the great outdoors..... never done it before. Just wrap up more when you know it'll be baltic..

[colinbal4]

I'll meet at Maybury.

[Kilted Ginger]

Summary :? Rough Guide only :shock:

Kinross (Tourist booth car park :twisted: ) 10:30 for 11am Departure to St Andrews 8)

Westies; Hein Gericke (Great Western Road) at 9am for a 9:30 (sharp) departure
Looks like 1 hour plus ride time to Kinross depending on route etc :plod:

Easties; Maybury Services 9:30 for 10am (sharp) departure, apx 30 mins to Kinross again depending on route etc :smurfin:

Northies; meeting?? at ?? or just at kinross for 10:30

Inbetweenies; (me) Can either pick up westies en-route (if they decide on one and post it) or can meet elsewhere and scoot up together (Cumberland services? My hoose :wink: (Denny)) its apx 40 mins from either to Kinross so 9:30 meet for 9:50 depart??

[suicidesam]

Just a quick note on roadworks... If anyone is gonna be using the M876/Kincardine, the new road layout is getting done at the roundabout at bowtrees... It's a nightmare!! all roads down to one lane... with about a million cones* :evil: I think It'll be ok on a sunday morning though.. not sure for the return.

*not the icecream ones :lol:

[jim@55]

m,ark-last yr we went via cumbernauld/kinc bridge and so on ,so we'll prob ride through the same way again ,you know past the little chef b4 the viaduct,any good to you???

[stuartyboy]

... with about a million cones* :evil: I think It'll be ok on a sunday morning though.. not sure for the return.

*not the icecream ones :lol:

I'm no judge of cones but I'd say there's about 17 million of them.....I'll get my coat :oops:

Bloody hell. Apart from one name you have put that list in alphabetical order. Don't know which is saddest. You doin it or me noticing :wink:

[northwind]

Still planning to come, but my home internet connection's knackered- so if there's any changes of plan can someone text me or call me on 07796896173? Otherwise, I'll be at Maybury for about 9.30.

Careless, I might not make it so best just leave it, I can always pick it up from yours when I need it. I'm a convert now to the big syringe method :) So I'll not need it so often.

[Duck-man]

Northy, no probs, but i cant see it changing much!

ah well down to 21 bikes :( still be a good turn out though! :D

Colin i will bring my camera :D

I am renowned for going a bit snap happy when i get my camera out (well so my mates tell me ahaha! :oops: )

[Kilted Ginger]

Bloody hell. Apart from one name you have put that list in alphabetical order. Don't know which is saddest. You doin it or me noticing :wink:

it was a copy n paste (so i didn't spell any wrong) into excel sheet with auto sort, dont know why Horny was out of sync, maybe the +1, but its ok cause I've deleted him after his last post :wink:

[scooby2102]

Watch out for the Blue Chavtastic Pointy

got a few bits of blue anodised bling at the bike show last week which I am going to fit tomorrow

best wear sunglasses folks :shock:


oh...
and...
Jim@55... nae slaggin (before you start ) :D

[Prawn]

Still hoping to make it but it'll be me on ma tod! On-call on Sat so if called out don't think I'll be up for riding :( How's best to let folk know? If I'm not there by 9.30 then just head off??

[jim@55]

ill b having a right good look :smt064 and possibly a few pics of the tat ,,sorry anodised bling will find their way on here 8)

[stuartyboy]

Stuartyboy + 1

We'll be on the cbrs though.

Did the route yesterday in brilliant sunshine. Weather looking good for Sunday. here's hoping!

[Sheila]

Stuartyboy + 1

We'll be on the cbrs though.

Well then StuartY.. if you don't :love: your SV anymore..:twisted: (poor neglected thing)..THEN WHY DONT YOU JUST....







....GIVE ME YER LOWERS PLEASE??!!!!! :lol: :P :D 8) .... We'll fit them on Sunday eh??!! :wink:

[stuartyboy]

I love my sv. The sv doesn't love my right wrist though :( Physio reckons its the suspension and engine breaking that's jerked my tendons so new springs ordered to see if that helps.

My lowers kinda like where they are :wink:

here's hoping the weather holds out :)
