Just wondering how many forum members stay up in Scotland?
I'm originally from North Lancashire but have been up here 20 years now(Aberdeen).
Any one else up here & is there ever any Scottish RD meets?
Cheers 46ob.

Thanks everyone. Yes some nice empty roads up here.Last year we did the north coast 500 with a few mates on an assortment of bikes but no 2 strokes. Stunning roads & it would be great to do it on an RD one day.

A very lucky freind of mine sold up from down here and bought a lovely house in Spean Bridge couple of years ago for a bargain price.
Lovely roads. He doesnt have a 2 stroke though. Just a firestorm and an FJR.
Not much help i know lol.

Cheers everyone..good to know there's a few folk knocking around in Scotland. Rod..That trip round the NC500 on strokers sounds great..heres a pic of us heading up over the Applecross Rd last summer. 4 of us did it & we had a blast,got 3 days of sun & one when it p****d it down- a decent average so hope you get the same or better! Great to know there's a few strokers Abroath,Montrose..within easy reach of Aberdeen. All the best, Damian 46 ob.

Im just outside Edinburgh.
the Meet in Pumpherston hasnt happened for years - if its still listed by the LC club, it just shows the complete apathy they show to Scotland.
a couple of LC's have started to appear at things recently - I actually saw another one at the Leadburn bike meet last Thursday - didnt manage to meet the owner though.

I'm in Cupar,Fife. Used to ride all over Scotland on LC's, but at my age with clip ons can only manage 15 miles or so before needing a rest, so would need to meet fairly near or take a long time to get anywhere. ...

But I bet those 15 mile sessions are good ones!!...
