172 miles, checked out some accomodation in Moffat for the Pan group the Balmoral Hotel with secure bike parking and reasonable prices very nice peeps, keen to encourage Bikers to use their place so if any of you can help promote them somehow......... . Discovered a couple of new roads (A707 Selkirk to Peebles is a cracker) and a B road that goes past Stobo Castle (mohamed Al Fayeds Spa for the rich and infamous), got Rob's radio working well for most of the day. Weather was a bit dull and got chilly towards the end but way better than we'd any right to expect at this time of year. Pics to follow, feeling a bit knackered

Its OK folks the first post was a bit tongue in cheek, although I am very much looking forward to meeting up I'm checking out hotels for the Bikers Oracle Pan group "BOP '07 Mayhem in Moffat" and timing/recceing a route for the Saturday Rideout. I have a mate on a badger modded (good story) ZX6 who usually rides the twisties with me and I'll probably have quite a few of the local IAMs group along at least as far as Moffat, possibly the whole route .

ah must be man flu vicki. One and only time I've been to Hawes the sewer at the top of the hill was blocked and flowing down the street , I managed to stop in time but me mate didn't and tried to get his B12 up onto the kerb and damn near dropped it

Hartside, Hawes and Devil's Bridge are all within range for a day trip

well seeing as you lot are heading in the opposite direction (do I have B.O. or summmat? ) I'm gonna take 701 Dumfries to Moffat then the 708 past the Grey Mares Tail and St Mary's Loch to Selkirk, pick up the A7 Selkirk to Gala, 702 to Peebles and back down the 701 to near the bottom of the Beef Tub before cutting over the Greenhillstairs road to link up with the B7076 then head onto the 702 at Elvanfoot and down the Dalveen Pass and home. is OK I'll take my camera with me and post some pics

yeah I reckon orange but why don't you open the file in 'paint and see which looks better, after all your the one riding it. nice bike btw

mainly cos of all the regs and organisation involved

Phew!!! just managed to rein in my imagination in time not to suggest a rally in one of my fields

Made it all the way to Lloyds in Carlisle picked up a link from my MP3 to the autocom at least the coffee was free Reckon I should be on commision cos one of me oppos bought a complete system. B**dy cold though, hands were OK (heated grips) but the tips of some of my fingers were numb.

Unless its really cr@p weather I'll be meeting up with the local IAMs group and probably end up heading for the nearest caff.

Aye, Haltwhistle, Hexham or Haydon Bridge, meet for a coffee n' bacon roll, then down the A686 to Hartside.

sounds good to me, once the weather settles down a bit

8 miles north of Dumfries just off the A76

so where would be 'central' for the first 'meet'?

quite often head down to Hartside, Devil's and Hawes through the summer will keep an eye on here for chance to meet up.
