If your home for any we can arrange a ride down or up or across lol - seems like an absolute age since we were all together.  I've stuck the dates on for lgposo in Stirling and few other's just need to see how your dates for work pan out.   'passport control..................'   If that happens I may not get out of Scotland over the Border............ or the Scots may seize the opportunity not to let me back in again  - a wild BOBKAT loose n abooooot roaming free in England mwaaaaah                                                                                                                                                                               

Yeti passports now thats something worth seeing lol                                                                                                                                                                              

Well if the SNP get there way we will be a separate country.....lol...I just want to know how he expects our country to survive financially....we have no industry, no fishing or real farming...we will never get the oil and e ven it won't last....

Who will pay for the welfare and the benefit cheats and all the child support..... Or will he go begging to the EU and we will get the Euro??? Be a hell of a day when we break the Union....

Also who is fecking around with these forums...why isn't this showing in the active topics....has someone decided its not worth viewing...has the mafia decided its not good enough lol???                                                                                                                                                                             

It's the pirates Johnny 

Dunno about Hadrian s wall as not many Romans down South these days lol

I do agree the day runs are not busy but most of the events on here are 2+ day events anyway.  I find best daily runs is local mates or joining your bike club and going from there. 

The other problem that you'll have the same as me is even when something is on sods law I'm working or have my daughter for the weekend. 

I have an idea and I'll give it a shot and see what happens

                                                                                                                                                                             

I have never encountered that to be honest. I have 2 different groups I go on ride outs, a bunch of randoms I meet at the bridges and 1 formal club that adopted me so always something happening.                                                                                                                                                                             

Edinburgh and Glasgow will always have something going on but it's well over an hour away and at this time of the yEar it's good just to go for a beer like you get south?...Dundee used to have a bike club but as far as I hear it's just died away....

Be nice to have an 'Ace Cafe' type thing wouldn't it even if it was Edinburgh ...just a bit of a local within comfortable distance....I have done over 800 miles round trips for just a weekend...it is emotional in the pissing rain.....Tan Hill I rode up from Southern Cornwall to that it was that heavy bouncing rain all the way to the turn of the motorway....had to stop under shelter and dry bike ouT at one point as electrics were getting over whelmed by the water... WD 40 ..my saviour lol

www.leadburninn.com is the main meet round here it sits on the way down to peebles.  Sure they have bike meets every Thursday evening and the Lothian & Borders Classic and Vintage Motorcycle Club Bike Meet 1st Thursday of the month, 7pm onwards

                                                                                                                                                                             

best advice I can give you is look out for the other groups, I know scottish bikers have guys all over even up at aberdeen and the guys gets together, then there is the scottish biker meetup group that also organize events all over, fife motorcyclists , etc.. best is to look on the net for scottish motorcyclists and hook up with them and who knows we might even get enough people in scotland to start doing bm meets, you meet guys tell them about bm same as me and soon word of mouth goes around..

be good when I'm at home and don't have my daughters staying over I just go out for a run, I'll go out in the morning and just trip for hours with no where really to go ha ha, I guess it is local knowledge that wins especially in Edinburgh area..

                                                                                                                                                                             

My main runs last few years has been through perth up over Glenshee to Inverness then down through Glencoe via Loch Ness 417 miles for a day trip 

A trip to London from Edinburgh for fun in terms of mileage

                                                                                                                                                                             

Been on that route several times, breathtaking I usually vist the commando memorial at Spean Bridge to pay respects......there is a top b & b biker friendly and £35 a night, free use of garage and the two Hot tubs......

A good run as well but mind the roads if you go earlier in the year is around the North coast Cape wrath ways past Thurso -John O Groats -Wick then South on A9 but cut of at A949 to wards Bonar bridge - A836 then A9176 back on A9 at Evanton, takes you on the old road, a lot more scenic. Avoid the Bridge go towards Dingwall, Muir or Ord and Beauly before Hitting Inverness.....choice of Aberdeen Road or Down A9 towards Perth....it's a good route, just watch for fuel stops after Dinner time in the far North a wee bit scarce on the West
