Need to get mine mot'd first. The tester was on holiday this week and if the forecast is right I might not even be able to get the ferry the next few days! Hopefully I'll get it done by the end of next week. |

Dukes pass, at the end of it - taking a left towards green welly, (A84/A85) and no doubt elsewhere - riddled with average speed cameras, rear facing as well... be careful fellow riders. Google it and was in the Papers with locations etc  |

I was out last week and hopefully get out soon, not so much the weather tbh but the fact I'm. Needing to do a few tweaks to the bikes defo need to get myself a garage/lockup with electric and get my repairs done or just say fuxk it and get my bike indoors but I'm pretty sure if I do the dog will cock his leg against it rather than go outside to pee  |

Always happy to welcome anyone to the fold, we all gotta start somewhere and as amazing as it is going solo and clearing the head, it's also fun having banter along the way and even listeng to the boys talk shite on the headsets |

"Not anytime soon for me but once the better weather comes a few of us will be island hopping "
That sounds brilliant. We've been up to Outer Hebrides and Bute over the years. Little bit Island hopping in Outer Hebrides. Lovely places to be  |

The outer Hebrides are beautiful but living here can be a challenge |

Yes it certainly is a beautiful part of the world. We heard how challenging it can be from the locals on Barra and Vartesay. See you are moving south soon though. |

I knew they were proposing average speed cameras between lix toll and tyndrum have they put them further down towards Callander? |

"Dukes pass, at the end of it
Has anyone been over the Duke's Pass recently?
Last time I was on that road it was in a terrible state. Hopefully, it's been resurfaced."
They resurfaced it a while back with that cheap crap where they spray tar down then chuck a load of chips on top. Was like riding on marbles. Hopefully the excess chips have disappeared to the side of the road by now and its settled downow to a semi decent surface |

Failed my mot a week ago so I've spent this weekend replacing fork oil seals, new fork oil, decided to put heavier springs in while I had them apart anyway, and fitting new rear shocks. Bike is back in one piece now, so I'll get the retest booked in this week and hopefully I'll be out again soon! |
