Opened up one of the photos and found this young lady offering me what I'm looking for.Screenshot_20221123-161453.png


Which nice because what I'm looking for is someone to pay my gas and electricity bill over the winter.

I'm sure 'Doctor Mike' could give her a check over...

I'm bringing Tim.....!

Unfortunately, Mrs Sullivj is too busy with housework to join us!

60g on the front, and none on the rear on my RT.

I'm sure I was told on another bike that balancing the rear, isn't as important as the front.

With lots of help from Bob21 and lots of YouTube tutorials, I finally got my head around Basecamp.

Then I ‘saw the light’ and converted to Tourstart. Best Eur 19 I’ve spent this year.

Happy to park my unsecured old knacker close to any of your swanky newer ones.

I never lock mine up. If I'm leaving it all night, I'll sometimes put the steering lock on, but that's it.

If someone is determined enough, they'll steal it irrespective of what security I put on it. That's why it's insured.

My bike in my colour - I like it.

That's good to know. I've worried about the potential fuel strip on my 2012. I didn't realise it doesn't have one!

Further along that same road, we also stopped here for afternoon tea. The cafe and facilities were superb. https://philiphaughestate.com/the-waterwheel-cafe/ Please don't think that I'm trying to interfere with your plans MikeS. It wouldn't mind at all if you ignored all of my ramblings. Looking for...

Thanks for organising MikeS. Tim and I rode around the area last year. There are some superb roads up there for sure. One that sticks in my mind is the A708, that runs alongside The Loch of The Lowes. We stopped at the Glen Cafe, which is right on the side of the Loch. I think it may be too far off ...

The PI Advance price of £150 has already gone up £3. Advance Pay now, fully refundable with free cancellation up to 28 full days before arrival, free to amend thereafter until the day of arrival. Book early to avoid disappointment and price rises. Probably best not to keep checking the price David....

Tim and I should be good for the 14th, 15th and 16th, and have booked the Dumfries PI for the Friday and Saturday. We actually stayed there last year - it was OK.

Thanks for organiging MikeS. It's 'only' 6 hours from home!

A great weekend chaps. Thanks to Simbo for planning the route and leading our ride on Saturday.


Well done to Mike for 'volunteering' to plan a route for next year - thanks Mike.


Thanks also to David for topping up my oil on Sunday morning - I must remember to keep a closer eye on that!

Doctor T - Bob 21 is quite near you.  He's a great guy who you might like to ride out with.
