Hi folks a big thank you from myself and Al for attending glad you all enjoyed it.
Just been speaking to AL on the phone he has just had a sit on the bike for the first time so hopefully he'll be back riding soon.
If you have any photos from the weekend post them up Al's keen to see them ( i didn't tell him about the bar bill we rang up for him yet :whistle: )
Cheers Ian.

Here's a brief run down on the weekend
Met Steve vfr1200 at charnock richards service's had a brisk run up to Devils bridge where we met Earwig, there was a few bikes about on the lay-by so after a mingle and natter to some of the locals who was making the most of the good weather
We where off again on mostly B roads to Penrith to meet up with Wideparting and U turn Tony, who had been on a detour to the Altberg factory to have a fit for some boots,
So it was a quick blast up the M6 to Gretna where we picked up the B7076 which is a great flowing road all the way to the out skirts of Glasgow where we met heavy traffic, we carried on to the ferry at Gourock and rode straight on as they was about to weigh anchor
We where met at Dunoon on the other side by some of Scotland's finest who was taking photos for there christmas fund's
