Scotland 2nd and 3rd Sept

He with the dickie ticker has done the same road with an artic at 4:00 am in the middle of winter as the other road was impassible and that is fun

Yeh anybody who wants to wimp out can come up the Lomond side with me as I will probably have a sorry heid and the "Jumps" didn't do my stomach a lot of good last time

I won't be wimping out, but some of these descriptions sound more scary than fun! I might be at the back, which isn't usual for me. My riding is like my golf... if my smile turns to a frown it all turns to **** and I can't ride for toffee.

Why has this forum software found it necessary to asterix out the word "G O L F" ?

Shame on you for spelling that filthy word out! My 6 year old daughter sometimes looks over my shoulder and you are exposing her to that depravity!

lots of places to pass cars which seem to only do 30 mph.
i guarantee you will be grinning from ear to ear after you have done this road.
i do the entire road in 2nd gear at 7000 revs. which is about 50-55mph
but everyone goes at their own pace, but all end up smiling. unless your an old git like justmac who is going to travel up loch side and meet us at pit stop in arrochar

Just did the WW and MP (southbound) this afternoon on way home after 3 days touring on SV. 2 up, panniers and tank bag. G/F loved it, actually heard her cheering through both helmets and at one point saw both hands stretched past my helmet (Ooer misses) for a double thumbs up.
Took nuttys advice from a previous thread and took it in second gear at 7000rpm, 45-55mph front end went "light" about half a dozen times and think back end was up once or at least "very light" (with 2 up and luggage)
I've done it once before "with IAM" but it was raining hard. NOT a nice road in the rain.
To me as a complete novice it seems an easier road to ride, if that's the right word, I think (but probably completely wrong) that the dukes is a more technically challanging road (I've only done it once and that was 300 miles and 1 week after getting bike) at the end of the day you ride within your own comfort zone, as fast or as slow as suits you, every now and again i get a little beyond myself and get a little fright which puts me firmly back in my place. By the time i reach the meeting points the big rush for the bacon sarnies is over so I dont have to queue, plus its nice too see everyine waiting on you, makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.

what time do you think well be heading home on both days before meal ???
