Last year, I promised myself a camping trip around the north of Scotland with my son on the bike. It fell through because of the crap weather. Its back on for this year but I may be going with a mate instead. Are any of you planning trip for that week, that we call summer.

Darn right TC,

I chance of a holiday with someday else picking up the bill.  :bowdown:

will have the bike up in Lochinver for a week - early August - family going up - but they can take the car  :swivel:  :swivel:

NW200, and Assen for WSB

Having a long weekend in Normandy from 24th April with 12 of my mates from around here, should be a good laugh, I'm also supposed to be going to Strasbourg in July for a week, part work part holiday.

This April we are going to Bangkok and onto Koh Samui to see some thai friends and will be hireing a cruiser to tour the Island.

We looked the Island over by jeep two years back and said it would be great to do it by bike, so a bike it will be this time and we will hire it for the full three weeks and not miss a thing.

......PROVIDING  theres no hostile threats over there??? as the war seems on the cards..

Was intending to go to Italy for two weeks in August.  All depends on whether I spend the money on a Triumph instead (see my next bike thread).

My main trip this year will be to the TT in May/June - I shall combine this with some extra mileage to visit Round Britain Rally landmarks.

I'll be doing the same on my way to and from a couple of rallies in May and August.

Might fit in a 3 day trip to Cornwall in July.

I could get a few nomads together for the North of Scotland trip if you like.

We can't promise to stay completely sober all the time tho :buttrock:

I'd be up for that. I can't promise to stay sober either and my pal Norrie is partial to guinness.  :bowdown:

He was drunk when he said he go for it. I'll need to ask him again when he's sober.  :O

Plans so far:

May: NW200
June: Overnighter to Applecross but some others are going over to the Arran folk festival ... (jumpers not included?)
July: BMF rally @ Kelso
August: No plans ... yet ....
September: Pilgrimage to Braemar for the gathering - assuming they haven't banned bikers because of some "outdoor furniture incidents" of recent years .....

All of course subject to change ... but I do fancy a wee two or three night trip away July / August oop North, or down ot the Lakes, or Wales even ....
Anyone got any good places to visit or places to avoid?

- Spud - currently bikeless, but not for long.

If going to the lakes avoid the watery bits

HTH

Applecross, is a place I want to visit. I've seen pictures and it looks superb.


I have also heard the stories about the plastic furniture. Was there also a similar incident with a wooden picnic table..  :O

I haven't looked in here for too long, so I missed your reply Dave ... hmmm ... methinks one of my erstwhile colleagues has been breaking the "exercise rules" code of conduct for such forays.

I can neither confirm nor deny ... but buy me a pint and I'm anybody's. And before the Falcoholic chips in, it is not necessarily true that with two I'm everybody's ....

Oi Spud I think he may have been informed of these adventures during our Christmas night oot.

Anyhows, we must initiate Dave as to the "Touring Rules"

I shall say no more. The secret of the plastic furniture is safe with me.  :angel:

Hoi BD no fair-you cant dangle the bait, then just leave.
TELL US ALL.

All I can say is that it involved goats, ropes, sex, a half gallon tub of clotted cream and a picture of big Mags Haney.  :O
