Anyone got pics online yet? :D

I had a nice wee run with Ken on the way home towards Stewarton and Kilmarnock. The first part from Lennoxtown was done with absolutely no bars on the fuel guage and I got to Milngavie on that! Most of it was done in 6th gear to save juice, but did mean I was over-using the fronts ever so slightly.

Thanks for the tipoff or this, John. :thumbsup

Gary - Great to meet up with you. Photos will be in the gallery very soon just uploading them now.

Great to meet up with everyone new and old or even young. Special thanks to Del for getting me the book at top price. Superb blat over the Campsies following Dom who was doing his bit to rid the world of birds. The hills were so good that Gary and I did them twice. :drive

Top man Sir Jackie :thumbsup

John C - thanks for telling us all about this hows the hangover :wink:

Hi Guys,
Just saw the pictures, they are great. Glad you all had a good time and it doesn't look too busy either.
I was awake at 9am but there was no way I was getting behind the wheel of a car. Still not feeling 100%.

Nice to see the students got to meet him Dominic - any chance of him doing a talk to them in the future?

Cheers,

John

Just picked up my book from Rob - Big thanks to Dom, Ken & co for getting it signed for me - just wish I had been there, but don't think I would have had the bottle to have it personalisd :wink:


The guy is a legend - can't think of anyone else who would have written what he did. I now have a new prized possession!
