Right folks going to bonny Scotland until Friday working in Glasgow.
Then down to Gateshead from Friday evening until Monday. I may be able to get to a computer but maybe not.
Have a good week folks

Same to you Jay, hope the weather is OK!

Hi Blinkey,

If you in gateshead fri through w/end. Pop into westgate road, where all the bike shops are, I frequent the green cafe (half way up on left side) for my breaky/lunch on sat morn :)

Weathers been quite rubbish all this week in Fife... Its not Glasgow but its not too far off.
Good luck and don't go out after 2000hrs.

Have a safe trip Blinkey. As GregD says - Westgate Hill is worth a visit. Lots of cool bike shops as well as the big dealers.

Hey Jay, where will you be working? I live in the East but I work in Glasgow most days. If your schedule allows, maybe I could buy you a pint before I head home one night.

Where's my pint????

As a Scot, you're not entitled to one! I only buy drink for visitors to our country. Can't have them thinking we all want rid of them and that we're all mean!

Awww man!!! You sure your not a Fifer being that tight? Hahaha

anyone else noticed that since we introduced Boy Blunder to whiskey, he has started travelling further and further north??

and when I spoke to him last night - he told me he was wearing a coat - call hisself a bloody northerner... southern jessie more like

Funny you should say that, Cathcart! My late Grandfather came from Charlestown.

I forgot Blink was into whisky. I'll buy you a dram instead Jay!

Hi folks. Dusty i am working in whitehinch and stopping at stepps at the best western.
I managed to pick up a bottle of glenmorangie for 25 quid whilst up here. Nearly forty quid at home.
I leave friday morning and finish work at whitehinch in the pm.
Greg.I am stopping at birtley friday night, and leave monday afternoon. Unfortunatly i won't be about saturday as i am working all day.
Catch you later folks

I managed to catch up with Dusty on friday afternoon. It was nice to meet up with another member of Ridersite. There is a distinct chance he maybe tempted into buying another falco?
I hope you can make one of the future meets we discussed

Blinkey is the first Ridersite member that I've met in the flesh so I now know that you guys are real, and not virtual, forum members.

I freely admit that I should never have sold my Flamingo Red/Anthracite Falco but it seemed the right move at the time. Perhaps one day I shall indeed acquire another, although there is more chance of me making it to a meet before that happens. I have 2 bikes currently, and that will not become 3 unless I'm looking for a divorce.


I hope that you made it home without incident after your foray north of Hadrian's Wall, Blinkey.

Yes I made it to Newcastle without any problems
I also went to the bike shops that Greg d suggested. I could have easily spent 50 grand if I had the funds. The pennigale with a tricolour paint scheme in the Ducatti/ Kawasaki dealership looked so yummy. £19.000 was the price tag. I need a lottery win
