I have just thrown the head up and booked a couple of nights in Invergarry this weekend. with 2 mates (GS and RT) Landing off the Troon Ferry on Saturday and taking the long way up to our Hotel.
Been there many times, but have no plans yet for our Sunday ride-out. Possibly Skye... (heard there is a real tosser up there) or possibly the usual Wester Ross trail. Anything on the cards for the local tossers, that perhaps a few Northern Irish people might be welcome to tag along to?
It's all very last minute, the others might well be wanting to do something different, but I am covering all bases in the short time we have.
 
Ronno and Forry are organising a run on Sunday 15th - starting from the Cafe at St. Mary's Loch on the A708 East of Moffat in The Borders. I think the start is at 11:00 (but check the thread as my memory is bad).

Its a long way for you but if you fancy joing in you'll be welcomed.

Bob.
 
Work day for me.
Have you taken a run to Kinlochourn, its not far from where you are staying.

This is a wee message to oonyack. My mate Betty Swollocks is in the Innvergarry pub at the minute. As he cannot get in touch with you he wants you to get in touch with him. Give him a wee call on his mobile 07843441720. All the hairy best if you do meet up with him and the boys watch your arse!!!!:aidan

Much happiness and joy was shared on this run scenery was spectacular as you can see from the pics.

Niall on the Yellow 1150 is some rider. wheelies, stoppies and the no. of times he had it airbourne put Pfieffer to same;)
 
Oonyack, thanks for the run on Sunday. I especially like how you made the weather change so quickly. I got to see just about the same amount of Skye as on every other trip over there. The run was worth it, and I would recommend any other Tossers up that way should give you a shout.
Sorry I will be on the 'family holiday' in August during the Skye Party, otherwise I would be back.
Ps We did call at that pub you mentioned, the one owned by Graham Norton, but apparently he was still away filming for his Saturday night show or something.
