Great weekend girls! Thanks to everyone for making it cos without all you girlies it just couldn't happen. I'll get cracking with the photos tonight but it'll take some time to sort the ones of Dandy cos Photoshop will takes ages to make him look good
Beware the whitevanman!

What a weekend,
Never laughed so much and the company was brillant,
Great to meet all the guys some old and some new,
Must say some of the best biking roads i have been on in a long time,
Thanks to Andy for leading us up the scenic route on the Friday,
Dandy's mate for some cracking roads on the Saturday and Tesco in Huntley should have a cafe
Alan they were great roads on the way home on the Sunday,
Even stopping at Queensferry for Sunday lunch,
By the way if any of you ever get the chance take the A702 from Edinburgh towards Newton Stewart, What a cracking road.
Dandy organising the gang on Saturday morning,
What a great road,
Yellow is really the best colour
Cake porn
Andy wanted to swap his scone but Chris was having none of it.
Aviemore its that way
What a line up.
Stopped at Queensferry, what a view,
The wee man was always checking the time, maybe its an age thing
Chris finds he gets a better signal if he sticks his finger in his ear
Notice the big choc muffin.

Great weekend, really good to meet you all!
I went over the Lect on the way back from Aviemore, visability was down to about 15 meters!
Once over the other side the sun came out & stopped at Braemar for a coffee. Looking forward to see all those professional photos that were taken in the fading light!!

Hi all, safely back in sunny Merseyside. A great weekend 1250 miles in four days. Thanks to Joe for organising it, Dandy for "organising" the Saturday rideout and Joe and Peter for sorting the rideout on Sunday (you early leavers missed 270 miles of tarmac joy and the best cake and the sminkiest waitress). Even the weather was good (for Scotland). Great to see some old faces again and meet some new ones. I'll sort my pictures and post them soon.

Really good weekend, lots of craic and great rideouts/weather.
I met bigboat at Braemar on Friday evening and we headed over the Lecht (not the one in your pics Haw, that's the Chairlift carpark
) Saturdays run was a bit chambolic at the start but settled into a good rip around the whisky trails. Good to see Les (TDM960) again - never seen a TDM tyres as raggy at the sides as his 
Great run back on Sunday around Perthshire................thanks to Joe for organising it as usual and to Hawmaw for a memorably quiet Sunday breakfast
Glad applecross was worth it Ivan - would've liked to have gone - maybe next time............

Home yesterday afternoon at 3pm and completely knackered. 1415miles, 59.68mpg. Brilliant time, some of the best riding roads ever and great company - more faces to names. Thanks to Joe for organising and Alan for finding the roads (even some agricultural ones!). Sunday's ride from Aviemore to Stranraer via Edinburgh was probably the best day's riding I can remember. Too many stops without cake on Saturday though which is something that needs fixing for the next one!

My piccies for your delectation...
Lunch meet at Glasgow.
Glencoe on Friday. I'd never seen it in clear weather. Stunning is not the word!
Ivan sports the latest in bespoke Hi-Viz jackets. I think he'll be taking orders soon...
Rush hour in Aviemore.
Rob explains to Joe what he's going to do with the cone if he doesn't hurry up and take the bloody picture.
Joe tells Paddy "the camera loves you".
Brian's lad Alan enjoys a light snack ....
Andy and Chris plot routes in our cosy room. Paddy realises he's trapped in a room with two 850 riders.
Nice scenery and Johnny's Mk11.
The road to Applecross
At the top of the pass enroute to Applecross
HawMaw performs the traditional checking of the oil routine familiar to all 850 riders. Although I mustn't take the piss as Johhny's 900 had a low oil light on saturday and needed a top-up. I bollocked him for showing up the 900s in front of the 850 riders, then my light came on on Monday morning!
Skye Bridge on Sunday.
My 2010 calendar submission - on the road to Lochcarron.
