Tomo Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Been a rough few weeks at work at the minute so just need to get away from it all really. Thinking of heading up to Beattock friday night after work as I have people I can stay with and then I have a full day to play on Saturday then back home Sunday. This pic was the inspiration for the ride I found it from their web site. http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/vista/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Fingers crossed I intend on being at or guess to being at Glencoe for around 3pm if you fancy meeting up. Well the plan is to have lunch at Lochgilphead and then then do the north road of Loch Awe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlieRider Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 ohhh flippin heck, more scenery envy With apologies to Yoda but Suffolk just doesn't quite cut it Keep posting the pics though 'cos it's bloomin good incentive to get me test passed, get a few miles under me belt, get a bigger bike and go see for myself Have a brilliant ride Tomo, just remember to exchange your "had a rubbish time at work" head for your "time to ride" (aka be safe and have FUN) head before you set off Yours in envy.

GirlieRider Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Guys sorry to be a nag but I wuda thought giving out your mobile number in a post is a BAD idea! Stick to a PM to give out personal info like that. The honest amoungst us wouldn't abuse it but I wouldn't like to vouch for everyone and the casual guest browser type person.

yoda Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Amanda, Suffolk is only one place I've been to. I also know the Highlands and the Northern Lowlands as well. Wales, the SW and the Midlands. I have also some knowledge of Alabama, Georgia and most of Florida, as I used to live there. Nuff said!! Copdock Cutie, just waiting for the weather report to go as I seem to have everyone elses kids to take with me. Will give you a bell beforehand.

Till ya have ya can't talk about scenery with any real authority Ok I'm away off to sit on the naughty stair for a while Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlieRider Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Apologies to all, I went away and thought about what I'd written and I'm really sorry. I'm on a downer about Suffolk at the moment generally for all sorts of reasons but that's no excuse. I'll take me and my grumpy mood away from the Forum for a while and will come back smiling and more pleasant to be around in due course. Again apologies. Tomo hope you're having a brill time, and Andy if you hooked up. Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 The first time I was completely airbourne without my aeroplane was in Northumberland. I was flat out in my MG, on one of the military roads going over the hillucks and whoosh took off and crashed back down away further. Good job I was the only one around. Lots of heather and water I seem to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
