Default Spamming the big scottish rideout, August 16th

In case you have not seen this:

http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=106414

This is an Officially Approved Spam It's just under 2 months to go til what should be a great weekend- the perfect opportunity to come up and sample the best country in Britain. Did I say country? I meant roads. If Blueflame and I (broken back and broken leg) can come down to the AR, then it's not too far for you lot to come up here!

Spam over Tell your friends.

The N/S crept into Scotland at the weekend. Judging by the lovely roads we were on. I guess you might just have a country full of them. It really is a shame that secret is kept so tightly.

Then again you don't want your roads choked with other peoples bikes do you.

Then again. you have the midges to eat the tourists. (writes whilst looking at big holes appearing in wrist/hand 3 days after feeding them)

After our small taste of Scottish roads at the weekend, we are looking forward to this even more

Worth mentioning here that one of the 3 "optional extra" loops on the route's been picked for inclusion in a TV program called Britain's Best Drives for the BBC And one of the other ones was named best road in Britain by Niall Mackenzie. The third one was just named best road by Kitkat
