Mike, Ive admitted defeat and have just about bought a zumo400 from another forum.
Think its up to date with europe maps etc. We'll see!

Anyhoo ... whats behind these gates. Passed-by thousands of times (great set of bends, but watch for bloody horses) but never paid any attention.

Firstly, on the right, just inside the gates, there's the gatehouse where my friend Kevin has lived for years. Then there's a long curving drive which eventually ends up at Balcaskie House, family seat of the Anstruthers....

I forgot to mention that the Kingdom was hoachin' wi' Polis yesterday - cars, bikes and camera vans.

Going up the A92 at Balfarg, I was waved at frantically by a guy on a Hayabusa on the other carriagway. Right enough, lurking in the next driveway on the left, past the B969, Western Avenue, was a traffic car and a couple of Fife's finest clad in dayglow standing beside it. I turned my head and peered at them from behind my dark visor as I rode past. They peered back at me.

Having just met Calum Murray of Saltire Suzuki, here in SQ this lunchtime, he confirmed that they're having a purge on speeding and they have targets to meet. So be careful out there chaps.

"Your reputation goes before you"

They must have known you were coming over sir.

Might have passed that gate house today:

1. Was there a car on its side on the other side of the road?

2. Was it anything to do with you?

3. You been playing with a stinger?
