Sat at home now. Reliving the full Scottish experience, a drinking a glass of Ardbeg, eating a Tunnocks Wafer, watching the Commonwealth Games from Glasgow, and wearing my wife's tartan skirt.
A big THANK YOU to Nial, brilliant organisation, a great deal of hard work from you made the trip very easy and enjoyable.
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.

What an awesome weekend!!

Great hospitality chez Sin, big thanks to his better half Barbara; good coast ride with Sin on Friday morning and a try on his Thruxton - really nice bike, then a good ride up Friday afternoon.  Saturday was excellent despite the dip in the weather in the afternoon; that climb up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bealach_na_B%C3%A0 and run down to Applecross was brilliant, excellent lunch, group leaving me to look after Geoff for the run to Lochcarron,  losing Geoff (sorry Geoff) on the run to the A82 and then back to Fort Angus.

Sunday saw me set off at 8am for my sister's in Durham but when I got there I still felt fresh, was riding well and the weather holding so I pushed on all the way home, 510 miles in all.  Never done that distance before and probably won't again, but arrived home still not tired but very very happy.

Thanks to Sin for putting it together, and for the goodie bag. 

I have a couple of video clips but they're nothing special.  the battery went flat before the big climb :BangHead  I'll just have to go back and do it again  :icon_mrgreen:

What a brilliant weekend. What a brilliant bunch of blokes. What a brilliant ride.

Loved it all. Thanks to everyone, especially Niall (Sin tiger) - you sir, are a star.

Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

I can only echo what's been said above. Great weekend, great ride out, great company and surprisingly good beer. Shame about the "showers". Can't trust the weather forecasters.

Phones and me left a day early from FA (Sunday morning) and having checked the weather that said it was better in the east we set off in that direction only to get bloody drowned near Breamar. :BangHead Ended the day just south of lockerbie at Ecclefechan.
Fortunately that all buggered off overnight and we had a great day Monday zig-zagging across the Yorshire moors/dales with lunch at Tan Hill, cheese bought at Hawes etc.etc.

So thanks to Sin-Tiger. Good job mate.
See you in Wales next year. Over to you threepot. :thumbsup

Sorry guys, I guess me and the BikerMatch crowd used up all the sunshine before you came.
It was stupid hot all week.
Not that I'm gloating :-)
All the same it was nice to see you all, however briefly. Hopefully I'll catch up with you all, or some of you, in the not too distant future.

Nice one H, going to have to modify mine to run off the bike to get round the abysmal battery life :icon_rolleyes:

Thanks MT but I can't see it for some reason, do I have to be registered with GoogleGit?
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Was a great weekend,  enjoyed it immensely, even the 440 mile ride home on Sunday was a good un after it stopped raining at Carlisle.

Please make next years a week earlier so I can come to that too
