Post by: magpie114 on November 02, 2023, 03:10:07 PM: 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.

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

Oban area? Lots to see and some lovely roads to ride.

Post by: Johnny4428 on November 02, 2023, 06:02:44 PM: Yes was thinking somewhere on the west side Ian. Oban is a good shout. See what other people think.

Post by: McCabe-Thiele (Ted) on November 04, 2023, 12:09:55 PM: Welcome - clearly the stereotype of a Scotsman can't be true as there are far too any members here from north of the border who own Honda moneypits!

Seriously though welcome to our community not sure of the membership demographics but it appears that Wales or NI might be under represented only our esteemed Moderator (no pun intended) would know.

Is it not Yorkshire men as well Ted? In fact did they not say that if a 50p dropped from a Yorkshireman’s hand it would strike him on the back of the head when he tried to pick it up. 😂😂

Post by: Orcade-Ian on November 04, 2023, 07:36:42 PM: I'm with you Roo, the only good thing that ever came out of Lancashire was the road back to Yorkshire 🤓
Maybe Eccles cakes and Parkin too!

Post by: Oddjob on November 04, 2023, 09:05:35 PM: You forgot me Ian, I’ve come out of Lancashire, in fact I’m one of their best exports. Whereas Roo was deported from Yorkshire for being too tight even for a Yorkshireman.
