No despite the thread and being 'managed at work' (sd work 4urself then) nothing went wrong with the last rideout.
Just fed up with the whole thing. Apathy - what a wonderful thing.
Call it a confidence thing

ref the answers on a stamp (lol), that could well be the case if past experience is anything to go by

[northwind]

If it's going to be heavy rain, I won't be there, as usual ;) But hopefully it won't, or have you been checking your crystal ball?

Yup - you're my mate too and it is catching - There's 2 harley owners in Ecosse now.
Must admit I know 4 people with harleys and not been out with any of them yet - must change it:smt031 :dwarf:

[Quedos]

Crystal ball ???? is that the poor relation to Golden Balls!!! Crystal balls are no fun - they can't predict weather - just incidents that are in the future! (crap eh)

[Tiger 55]

I'll be there rain or shine.

Got tyres with grooves in 'em see? :riding:

[-Ralph-]

I'll be there if it's just a bit showery, but if it's chucking it - have fun!

[Blue Flame]

OK I don't think im gonna make this one.

Street Party on the Saturday in my err... street :rolleyes: , so if the weather is good I will be still staggering about on the Sunday.... If the weather is not good and the street party is called off then I will make it provided the weather clears up for the Sunday.

[Endellion]

I'll be there if it's just a bit showery, but if it's chucking it - have fun!

[Blue Flame]

It did not happen....weather was crap here yesterday. Postponed till next week.

[SVTONYB]

Same Pi**ing down all day yesterday

[northwind]

It's rubbish here too... I'm going back to bed :( Looks like it might get better as you get north though, hope it dries out for those more intrepid than me

[-Ralph-]

It's stopped raining in Harthill, and the BBC weather map says thats it passed over for the day. Easties don't dispair too much apparantly it's over you now heading east, but there's nothing behind it, you've just got the tail end just now. I'm heading off just shortly.

[STRAMASHER]

Bone dry here.............at last ,Noah and his boat have fecked off.:rolleyes::cheers:


See youse at MuckD's 10am.:cool:

[carelesschucca]

well theres a surprise!!! LOL!!! lazy bar steward

[Blue Flame]

Sssshh..... you will wake him.;)

Its still not good here but does appear to be brightening up a bit. No way I can make balloch. If it clears up sufficiently I may do the route backwards later on.

Depends as well on what wifie has planned.

[Skyeblue]

:cheers: Cheers guys for the rideout!!

Whole new experience riding out with other folk... and I loved it!!:-D Hope looking after me wisnae too much bother... no idea of ride out etiquette but I felt totally spoiled and was delighted that I knew where i'd catch up wi folk. Mr Ducati (aka svTonyb)... dunno how you mangaed to stay awake following me over the Dukes Pass but after I realised you were just gonnae sit behind me, I couldn't help but think... What a lovely reassuring thing to have!! Hope it disnae dent your street cred to have a public thanks but much appreciated.

Big thanks all round mates ;) for the day... hope you all got home safe!!

[kitkat]

lovely weather today. the horse fund raising thing went well. my daughter got a 4th and 5th and 2 clear rounds. my son got a black eye falling off the bucking bronco. (he fell off, landed on mat and bounced back up hitting face on bulls horn). I was relegated from cake and candy to bouncer collecting entrance money. made about £300 on entrance fee only. hope you all had a good day

[-Ralph-]

Home, good day had thanks, crashing out with beer!

[carelesschucca]

lovely weather today

You should have been with us, then we could have asked you about these msg's you've been sending to SkyeBlue, i want full info on what was said... LOL!!!

hope everyone had a good day...

Tony i didn't notice you turning off in Campsie. i'd sent the last five miles before that watching my fuel light...

[stuartyboy]

Shucks miss I'm Blushing now ;) To be honest my left wrist was sore and I was happy to take it easy but glad it helped

MANGAED What chance have the kids got :rolleyes:

[SVTONYB]

Tony i didn't notice you turning off in Campsie. i'd sent the last five miles before that watching my fuel light...




I flashed and tooted but you were obviously concentrating and didnt notice, I turned off to go through Kirky and Lenzie

If you get it out of Kitty what shes been saying then PM me ;)

[SVTONYB]

time you organised one I think stuarty ;)


No argument here, Volunteer better than pressed man and all that

So where and when Stuarty and well get Northy to declare it a "Dry Day" cause it worked today :cool:

[Tiger 55]

Aye, was a fine rideout that one. That's the first Ecosse one I've done where it was dry the whole way round!

The whole thing was a good distance, the sections were the right length, the stops weren't too long, the speed cops just gave us a friendly nod, nobody fell off, perfect.

Waved a cheery goodbye to Stramasher at the turnoff for Drymen and then again 15 minutes later when he came past on the A81 scratching his head. What was that about? :)

And here we are at the Pit Stop in Arrochar. Sorry about the over exposed pic Northy, but it was very, very sunny...
