I have toured Southern Ireland as a pillion ..so would love to return riding my own bike...never been to Scotland so that is on my to do list...have toured UK and Europe...
but I have two things on my bucket list....
one to ride a bike down the full length of the rockies mountains (have been there many years ago but drove a truck)
and second to ride a bike through New Zealand.....
I would like to see more people getting out on bikes and touring more or seeing what is out there.
Too many do 60 mile trips to say Squires or hartside and thinking that's getting out on a bike .... sooooo much more out there (but each to their own at end of the day)
Scotland has the best roads in Uk as there is hundreds of miles of empty roads. Europe is also so easy to ride around and Dover to Calais return £30 ish so what's stopping anyone.
All different types of bikers but there is no reason not to at least explore your own Country
That is not a dig at anyone just my thoughts and unless you do it how will you ever know I constantly bump into English bikers down south or abroad never been to Scotland........ but I don't know any Scottish bikers that haven't been South
I have to 100% agree on the touring, i toured the french alps on a bike in September - it was a holiday to remember for a lifetime. ill be back again for sure, riding across a country and finishing up in the mountain passes with amazing roads and breath taking scenery.
This year i want to enter my first flat track race........have to build the bike first :)
Since passing my test last year, the one thing I really really really wanna do on my bike is go back to the Mod 1 test yard and knock over every single poxy cone lol.
Good thing is there are plenty folk on here to help whether be staff or members themselves.
so If you could .......
We'd help to make it happen.
It is one of the reasons why I run a Germany trip for BM, every year I take people who have never been abroad before and see their face makes it worth while.
pmsl at your post NGB and i guess the opposite to that
i would love to be able to ride my bike around the cones like you see the really top notch guys do in really tight circles etc etc that would be awesome to be able to ride like that
i also want to go abroad and tour aswell as go up to scotland at some point, was meant to do it last year bt not easy with me gorgeous dawg who is getting odl now so a few things on hold for him at mo, he is healthy and well bt it dont seem fair leavig him long time at his age..
