Morning
Epic day yesterday for the memorial... a LOT of weather, not so many bikes this year, sadly - fewer making the oban loop than started out from Stirling due to the abominable weather, and unfortunately one fewer completing the ride ( tho rider is ok, I believe, bike is not so much)
Shame Grumpy couldn't make it.... a big miss
Good to see all your happy smiling faces x(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190428/1ed360515cbef4889a2dfc4da543dfb4.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190428/d899df2fcd617e79bb81c6e81c22e859.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190428/21e4134a212ffb2cb23f6d319de2d92e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190428/82b46f3d4b0a2222dcc7b5a3efd9c61f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190428/a4fd00b5ec8bb65fcd556915878d56c9.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190428/1fe50ee02c5b85a463d8815f666daf3b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190428/ea6eed9abe6d841c66995325c4693e22.jpg)

Shame the weather didn't play ball 😢
Hope Ian is ok and Big Al's bike too😩
Fuck! Was it Mr O who put his Trumpet through a wall a week or so back?? :(
What happened to the Urban Tiger??
Be safe dudes!
We made the best of what was on offer...was shocked to hear about Ian but glad his injuries are of the minor category.
Overall another great effort made by all.
Really enjoyed the day in spite of the weather and other events, great to see all the usual faces and laughs galore in the evenings. The big KTM was the right bike for the day in the circumstances and looking forward to the next trip. Thanks all for making it worth the trip :)
had a great time on the tractor the weather tried its best to feck things up but didnt spoil my fun!
Great to see everyone again, proper laugh.
Shame for Ian he's had a really bad week bike wise but still here to tell he tale thankfully
thanks for sorting the meals etc much appreciated
great dry ridehome today via the a7 and bonchester bridge with chug and Emma
nice to see em clicking with the criple and chug making the drivel motor
standard of cage driving this weekend has been appalling :-(
Another great weekend, great to see all that attended, Saturday wasn't the best with the weather (FUCKING AWFUL) and Ian's crash. He's OK - well I bet he's fecking sore and aching today. Tony The Tiger is no more unfortunately. That's twice someone has crashed in front of me on these weekends.
Good meal last night and a fantastic blast home to day as the weather finally played ball, lets of left,right,left, rightleft, right Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap :azn:
748 miles is my total for the last 3 days, fewer than normal due to shortend ride on Saturday.
Good to see everyone, or those I did see. Was a hard one seeing you all leave Asda on Saturday morning. Gutted we never made the meals both nights. As others have said, there will be other years. Glad to hear Ian is ok after his wee off. Hopefully we make the next rideout. Take care folks.
Great to see everyone... weather was dire.... Mr Olive is a trooper ... the tiger is no more but Al already talking about replacements at the curry on Saturday night.
Sterling effort from our Southern pals and Ray jet setting in from 🇦🇹
As above...top effort by all who travelled from far and wide ..pertickly his lordship

was a triumph:-) congrats to Dave h for being the only kwak!
What happened to the Tiger?????
Certainly an eventful weekend, first time Steff has been on the bike with me for the entire trip and I think it's fair to say we both loved it. Ride up was mixed weather but enjoyable. Didn't have my mojo for the first half of the day but then it all came together.
Saturday the last 30-40 miles to the Green Welly were "interesting", pissing down, misting visor, condensation inside it and standing water on the roads. Did consider continuing on to Oban but my lower region was piss wet through. Enjoyed the ride back until the "incident", glad Ian is OK, was not fun seeing it from about 4 bikes back.
Unfortunately something with the curry didn't agree with me and Steff, she was projectile vomiting at 3:30am in the hotel room and I had the other end. The ride home was lovely but I felt so rough it was hard work. I ended up peeling off and leaving the others to enjoy the twisties. Got home, cleaned the bike and relaxed.
Cracking weekend again, great to see everyone and we will be back next year :moto:
sounds like i dodged a bullet this year... rain, crashes and no grumpy!!
The crash, we know the who but what about the what where and why? Glad he's OK.

Rain (infrequent) crashes (singular) Grumpy (who?)...😉
Had an errmmm intersting weekend :shocked:
Drive up in the van was good, in hind sight that was a good call. Great evening out at the Starbank, lots of laughs with average company, as always.
Saturday, the weather was shocking, but great to get out and about on the bike, got to the Green Welly and decided to head back to Leith due to being soaked. I then spend the rest of the afternoon running around picking up bits of Tony the Tiger (sorry Al), and then picking up bits of Ian and then spent the remainder of the afternoon/evening at Dundee hospital whilst the rest of the crew stuffed their faces with food :rofl:
To be honest Ian is extrememly sore, but came away with a fractured little finger and big toe. The CAT scan also picked up two fractured ribs, which were likly from last Friday's crash :rolleyes: as someone said to me earlier, he must be made of rubber to bounce as well as he did. We spoke to the Fireman who looked after Ian,whilst waiting for the ambulance yesterday, and he said in all his 20 years of scraping people up off the road, Ian was extremely lucky to escape with minor injuries and it could/should have been a lot worse. So we've been thanking the Scottish Road Gods for that.
But, on the plus side, it was great to see everyone and again, and a massive THANKS to everyone for making, what was a pretty horendous thing to whitness, slightly better. I'm sure once he's feeling better we can start with the merciless piss taking!
But i think after this, my 6 month ban and the mechanical breakdown last year, we've made the decision to do the Memorial in 4 wheels next year :azn:
Still gutted we didn't manage our 007 reinactment at Glencoe via Al 'Speilburg' Dupre!
