    Right I've had my dinner now,
    Absolutely fantastic weekend with top people, cheers for coming :thumbsup:. Bit disappointed the wind was so bad up there today for you guys, really wanted you to enjoy the A7 but I guess you get what you're given weather wise.
    Hotel was great, friendly and well priced.

    Pissed off about my mudguard though :mad:, still got the fucking feathers in it. Hope it's made you guys want to do a few more, doubt I'll do another before TT but after that I'll planning another.

    Stevie, thanks for the go on your bike. It's awesome, trying to arrange a viewing on a Firestorm this week ;).

    Thanks again people, beer time......

    Really wanted a go on Stevie's bike but if I'm honest, I was a little scared to ride it. Superb weekend and yes, great company all round :)

    Yeah it's an early GSXR 1000 but he's done a flat bar conversion on it. It's great fun and I would imagine comfortable all day long (unlike mine!).
    Never rode a GSXR 1000 before. Had a K7 600 the other week and that was dreadful. Impressed with Stevies though.

    I meant I wouldn't trust myself on the 1250

    Very easy to ride as long as you don't snap throttle back

    Cheers guys and girls, really enjoyed our 1st overnight adventure in to the borders ! ( Smudge no comment needed ! ) Excellent company, fantastic venue and even the weather made it more interesting.
    Glad you liked my bike set up mark,had no problems with hand or wrist ache just a numb arse at the end but I will now find a solution to that and have the perfect all rounder !!!!
    The roads in the area are very quiet and for the most smooth and well maintained and I would certainly go back there and explore further. Thanks mark for organising and would like an invite for you next jaunt after the TT and I will try not to stop so many times for a brew !
    Your enthusiasm is to be admired and you have inspired me to travel further a field.
    Phil and carol, top company as always and I hope she isn't put off coming along again once its warmed up a bit !
    Your welcome to have a ride on my bike any time and it will only go as fast as you want it to !
    Thanks again, off to bed now tired but contented and already looking forward to a new adventure !!
