Default 2 weeks till the Glencoe Massacre- SV650.org goes to Scotland

http://forums.sv650.org/forumdisplay...ysprune=&f=112

Just 2 weeks left now til the Glencoe Massacre, there'll never be a better chance to come and try out some of those legendary scottish roads If the weather's anything like it was today, it's going to be a very, very good weekend

Still time to get this organised- Scotland's just at the end of the M6 you know! Lots of info in that thread and in the Rideouts section but if you have any questions, drop me a PM and let me know. The more the merrier!

To give a wee teaser, here's some snaps from the rideout route. My camera randomly fell in half straight after this so, none of glencoe (the best bit) or of the twisty routes

I need to pull my finger out. I need new front pads, a new clutch cable and new tyres as mine wont last the trip...

Wondering whether to risk BMC air filter and rejet or not...

Definately need to sort my exhaust out ... it's more air leak than not.
