That's what i think! - but can't think on where it should be held!
Any thought's / ideas?
on second thought's - ayrshire eg. saltcoats etc....
Brings money into the economy down there and nice ferry and travel links for those coming from down south and across the water too.

Theres not exactly a shortage of roads to hold it on.....
What about down towards the borders ........ Hizzy country.........
That would be a good tribute to the "TTFLYER"

I had a genius idea for a sort of short-track road racing event in Edinburgh, round the crags road... No disruption, good access, easy spectating, ace road. But the runoff leaves a little to be desired, you have a choice between a cliff going up and a cliff going down round some of it, and it's mostly single lane :D I'd go, though.

The Clyde.....On jet ski's!!!
Prob drier and warmer on on the clyde than a road!
gd idea...
Rothesay would be prety good...great long road round the island full of straights and twisties!
if it had the weather and had 90% of the island resurfaced...wd be grand!
and prob more pubs / places for the bikers to stay...
though it would be TT style rather than NW...
would be even better if they lifted the speed limit as well!

Wibbly Wobbly 200. How much would you pay to see that? See how far into the loch everyone lands.

750k to run but the economy gets a boost! (approx 100k visitors watched it)
I am seriously considering trying to get hold of as much data from it as possible and passing it to the scottish parly - see what they think!
It would certainly be a massive boost to the economy and do wonders for the area its held in.

Sadly it'll never happen, our police just wouldn't have it. It would cause too much hassle.
A good place for it though would be near Knockhill (use the track as a base)
You could use the A823 the B913 and the A977, Ithink going in a clockwise dirrection would be best but either way would do!!!

I thought it has, as the Ecosse ride outs seem to produce better action than an BSB meeting with quite good regularity :D
(sorry, I'll go and hide....)
