Thinking of a meet up for next weekend for a good blast to the borders. Bikes are just to slow always slowing down at corners just no Fun
Any ideas would be welcome! Oh and pray for sun!

Im up for that...not the a702, its too busy although an awesome road...
Id say peebles road then the backroads to selkirk?

Up for that as long as its not pissin rain, my car's a bit edgy in the wet, spun it in the dry last week

Selikirk - St Marys Loch No Camaras there as well and stop off at the cafe for nice cup of tea and scone

Meeting point? any ideas, p.s. does cafe sell v-power

I should be up for that. Hopefully plenty of petrol sations on route!

Where would we meet before?

Moss

Right Guys There a few things we need get sorted
Time 10 -11 Sat or Sun Depending on Weather
Meeting Place Petrol Station Shell By pass
Route Pebbles/Turn off Innerleithen/St marys Loch/A708 to selkirk
A7 or the A702 Heading back
You can get petrol at Pebbles/ Selkirk
This is a rough idea but more input is welcome

btw - this lot are up north that weekend too for there FBB
(although they pass us on the friday & monday)


if it were up to me I'd skip selkirk and head on down to moffat then back up the A701 (just because I like that road) but I guess I don't get a vote untill I finish building the car

Sounds good with a few good routes mentioned already ;o)

im up for the peebles/innerleithen/selkirk run...theres a good road between earlston and gordon, easy to reach from gala/melrose... a701s good too, though sometimes the traffic faeries are about in disguise

which station are we thinking of meeting at? the one at redford barracks? or maybury?

Redford barracks Weather is looking good Mind though could be canceled due to Ash

So whats it to be Saturday or Sunday? Is anybody up for a run to Knockhill at the weekend depending what day the borders run is on, Pedro Dela Rosa going for lap record in Arrows F1 car, saw Ferrari v10 F1 go round in 38 sec last time F1 car ran at Knockhill, awesome

I could be in the scrappies on saturady morning. Looks like I wont have the mk2 master cylinder repaired/replaced by then

Thanks for the contact Gordon, the guys at livi auto parts are looking into finding a replacement.

Moss

Maybe a tad late to start changing the routes- but theres a great road from gala to earlston, the b6374 then the a6105 from earlston to gordon...not sure where to go after gordon though!
decided on a day yet?

Looks like Sunday then meet up time 10.30-11.00 and we can decide the route,
At the shell at the Redford of the Edinburgh Bypass

If thats fine with everbody else.

Saturday looks like being scorcher Sunday ok but chance of showers. So whos up for Saturday

Ok whos up for Sunday

Sunday for me It says showers but wait and see

Saturday or Sunday both good for me, Sat looks best though as the weather looks like it is going to be a scorcher.

im good for either, but by the sounds of things sat might be better...

I can do Saturday but have to be back for 2 sh
9.30 meet up !

10.30ish is the earliest I can make it, finish work on sat at 10am at sighthill so only 5 mins a long from dreghorn.

Both days good for me, but it sounds like it might suit a couple of the guys better if its on Sunday (it was Toniq R who got the ball rolling) anyway if we get away early the roads will be dead any thoughts lads?

Me think Saturday is the day as the forcast is no getting better for Sunday
So Im up for it 10,30 at the shell then
I will make my way back ,but still gives me 4 hours of driving in the sun!
See you there 10.30

snazzy! see you there!@10.30
still need to give the car a wash, some pigeons have decided to sh*t all over it and the suns baked it on

Don't think I will have car fixed by then. Need help to bleed brakes. Etc.

Sunday good for me.

Moss

Sorry to hear that Give me heads up the morn as I will prob be going out again the morrow if its no raining

Just getting ready to set off for a nice sunny drive

Got car back on road about 15.00. Massive thanks to Gordon, break pedal pump man and girlfriend to getting new battery 10 mins before factors closing.

We made a run out to Peebles. Even got our photos taken by Dutch tourists

How did borders run go lads?, went back home after aborting borders run due to sticking clutch cable but fixed it within 10 mins, turned out to be overtight bolt on clutch pedal ended up going for a blast to Pebbles with Moss on some excellent roads nice one Moss, im heading up to Knockhill tomorrow if anybodys up for it give us a shout.

Good day out went to Maggies loch should have worn a long sleve t-shirt my arms look like lobster claws
Lets hope for good weather next weekend and we can all meet up for a blast.

It was a great run with some fairly spirited driving, managed to trash my front tyres in the process ;o)

Like wise only wearing a t shirt has resulted in two very red arms that I can hardly bend now !!!

Did you manage to catch the pheasant on your video camera that bounced of the both of us??

Kev

Dead man walking!
