Yes a good run. I like to follow the A708 from Moffatt past St Marys Loch then turn off towards Megget Reservoir back to the A701. Lots of bikes in the summer.

And a very warm welcome from an exiled Yorkshireman, saving up to be a Scotsman,  enjoying life in Orkney but do get down your way when time and weather permits.

I've got a NOS CB550F side panel in Flake Sunrise Orange, when new the paint is really bright, really OTT on the metallic flakes TBH. Has yours faded or is it still dazzling?

OK Johnny. I'll sound people out in the new year. Have a think about a good location.

Yes was thinking somewhere on the west side Ian. Oban is a good shout. See what other people think.

Welcome to the forum. Scotland is a beautiful place with fantastic roads and scenery. I'm hoping to go up to Glasgow in the spring to collect my Jota.
