What can I say
Shame so many of you lot are up norf! would be a right crack all meeting up :eatcorn
Aye, tiz a shame mate, mind you i often organise trips for the Aprilia crew and some have come as far afield as Denmark with loads of guys from Portsmouth/Ipswich/Peterborough etc.
Here is a link to some photos etc of one trip about 5 years ago that i organised, superb craic and the best roads in the UK to ride bar none, still not met any SSSD that can keep up with me and big paddy Blue when it comes to sinking the whisky.
You could always start practicing now for next year mate:beer2

Ahh the memories
The year before we gave Blue some stick for trailing his throttle going into corners and many of us nearly tailgating him, so we made him a T shirt
"Full speed ahead to 167
Yes, yes, yes i'm in biking heaven
bends ahead upon the horizon
speed i will have to be downsizin
whilst in the corner i lose my bottle
that's why they call me "Trailing throttle"
if you are beside this sign you are in biking heaven
at the end of a hard days hooning awaits a lovely chilled pint of Stella
if you are standing on the rock outside the Kylesku Hotel having a beer you will be in your element

That looks like a right laugh for sure. Wont even try to compete with the beer, (sit down) I dont drink!
Very rare, only on occasions, meaning a couple of beers and I`m happy as larry
"SSSD" Translation??
The roads look pretty good, but not into the wet riding! :/
Who off`d it?
Will post them pics of our last bike trip tomorrow if I get a chance

SSSD = shandy swilling southern dick...................
Hey badger, looked through the pics and have decided by the first set, that a caponord cant go round corners so will not have one of them.
I loved the animals in the bath though!!!! looked a hoot

It's a laugh a minute, like minded blokes doing what they enjoy most.
Roads are not just good mate, they are blinding.
No problem on the not drinking thing.
The guy on the Caponord was the MD of Aprilia UK, good mate of mine, he was OK, just made a pigs ear trying to keep up, also another guy Terry from Crewe threw it of the road about half a mile from where Steve came off.
Not into wet riding!!, in Jockland ye would be called a "fanny":nana
Tiz a real hoon mate, the animals in the bath were quite tame compared to the other antics:devious
In fact Steve ya can check out the roads in this slideshow of mine (if you have not seen it yet that is)

You always gotta ruin it with the shirt lifting :roll
On a serious note though, excellent pictures I am indeed sold on the roads!, May even go so far as to say that sold me on scotland!
But for me thats as fair away as the french twisties....
Which are on par :devious
