Quality .

i thought about it but as Pete said 'if i wanna look at the views i'll buy a postcard!!!' my mind was changed!!!

• Seeing where I was going to sleep at Pete and Lissa's and thinking "this is so much better then what I thought".
• Seeing the group grow at each stop we did and then seeing just how big we were when we got on the motorway and all you could see was motorbikes lights in the mirror.
• Seeing Mr UKI hit a big block of concrete and seeing his bike get thrown sideways and then thinking about which way to go to avoid him. Then somehow see his bike right itself from a crazy angle. Then seeing R1ck's bike hit then same lump and amazingly seeing both come out of it ok with no damage to iver bikes.
• Seeing Yorkie Chris'es bike close up in the flesh for the first time and wondering how it's all still holding together.
• There was one person I really wanted to see because I heard allot about him and that was Quiff. When people say he is funny, crazy, great I soon found that he really is. He is such a legend and is so great to be around.
• Talking to Fizzwheel and realising just how great a person he is.
• Realising it is very possible to overtake unrestricted SV's and pull away from them even though only having half their power.
• Getting scared silly every time Yorkie Chris'es bike come flying past
• Finding myself towards the front end of the pack and being able to keep up with the bigger bikes through the twistys, this put such a huge smile on my face.
• Getting complemented on my riding by Pete, Fizz, Yorkie Chris and Quiff. That will stay with me forever considering these are the guys I look up to on their riding skills.
• Fizzwheel shouting out across the car park "Seggons, is this your first time offsiding?" I wonder what give it away.
• Being amazed at Claires survival reactional skills when she had a close encounter with another car on a tightening right hand bend and seeing her peg hit the ground and seeing sparks. If that was me, I would of panicked, froze up and been in the barrier.
• Talking all the forum legends.
• Talking bends flat out at silly speeds and it feeling very surreal.
• Hitting 9K rpm in top gear.
• Speedy Claire and the ketchup bottle at the fish and chip shop and then again at the pub when Luckypants just let one out.
• Watching a minor car accident at the services where Fizz left us and realising I was the only one that see it.
• On the way back to the camp site in the rain I spotted Pete in the distance and soon noticed I was catching. That give me such a great feeling, and then realised I was able to keep with him. This gave me an even better feeling. It wasn't the fact that I was able to keep with a bigger bike, but I was able to keep with someone that has such great road craft.

These are just a few of many many great memorise from the trip.

Class line

The buzz that intensified as the ride up group got bigger.

Being glad the wigwam was bigger than the pics had suggested.

Waking up before 6 every morning and having the showers all to myself.

The bridge out of the site.

Being able to relax and just go where we were pointed.

Following Haggis, or trying to, and amazed at his 360 deg neck.

YC and Miss YC flat out pretty much everywhere.

The breakfasts. Absolutely brilliant KG and Ralph.

Lp's grin after he "re-joined" us.

Quiff back on top form.

Everybody being so friendly.

The roads and apparently some scenery.

I thought of another one.

On the monday "harcore crew" ride, remember after the Commando memorial and then either just after or before the fuel stop where those harleys were being cleaned, that kiddie on the stripped down C90 with all the fairings taken off, lent right over the front absoloutly pinned and the farty noise is made as it went past. I was laughing for ages in my lid after that.

Another one of mine.

Heading towards Spean Bridge we're bimbling along, as usual, when I suddenly realise there are two cars on our side of the road, over-taking a couple of coaches. The first car starts flashing his lights, and I sit there thinking 'He's flashing us. Why is he flashing us? This is our side of the road! The flipping nerve!'

Fortunately the road was wide enough for us to move right over to the left and the two cars squeeze past. I bet that was two car drivers who needed a change of underwear when they got home though!
