Sunday 11th March is "Lunch at the Log Cabin" day in the BMW Club calendar. Meet there for 12:30.

Those Not going to the Scottish Motorcycle Show on Sunday might like to head for Kirkmichael (on the A924 between Blairgowrie and Pitlochry).

After lunch I will be heading to Ranoch Station to check out the Railway Cafe - Its the afternoon tea stop on a run I'm leading on 8th April.

All "Tossers" welcome - any takers ? :bounce1

Bob.
 
'Fraid not, Bob.

I'm out on the lash starting in the afternoon on the Saturday and by rights should not be fit to ride on the 11th.

I dunno - the place was shut :eek:

Had a good attendance at the Log Cabin today - eight bikes, plus a couple of cars (and before anyone says I can't count - I took the picture before Bill Gault arrived on his K100).

I was on the R80RT as the 100GS is in bits for its Spring Service. It is interesting to compare the 1988 'RT' with the 2006 model.

After lunch I went up to Pitlochry for fuel and then on to Rannoch Station. Not a soul in sight. Its a bleak bit of road - but there was hardly any traffic to compensate.

From there I returned along the south side of Loch Rannoch, past Schiehallion to Fortingall, where I stopped to view whats left of the 5,000 year old Yew Tree.

From there, up Glen Lyon, down to the A827 and on to Killin. There was snow on the hills and it got quite cold up around the dam at Lochan na Lairigh.

From Killin I joined the A85 and headed towards Stirling then home down the M90.

260 miles in pouring rain - not a day for pictures but I managed a few.

The river is the tailrace from Rannoch Power Station.

I for one am looking forward to some dry miles - roll on Spring.

Pictures follow - I'll have to split them over two posts.

Bob.

A couple more just to finish off.

I'm on a tour of Lancashire with the BMW Club next weekend - Hopefully I'll be able to put a few pics up after that.

And to keep the peace . . . Here is a picture of Ron's 'Bumble Bee' at the Log Cabin yesterday - partly obscured by Steve Shepley's F650.

So to be fair - here is also a better picture of Ron's bike, with Ron, in a warmer and drier season.
