This is my first post, hopefully of many and i must congratulate myself on navigating myself round the login details required and filling out my profile. Thanks to Cecil for the weekend at Strathpeffer, and Don and Alec for leading on Sat and Sun, and all those who went. An excellent time was had. Good run tonight as well so thanks to Dan for that.

What a difference it makes in handling the bike and confidence levels. Particularly getting a feel for hard braking / emergency stops before it needs to be done in anger. Everything we did translated to controlling the bike well on the road. I might even be able to stop elegantly ...

Applecross - Leave on Friday 1600ish and camp in Glen Sheil at the head of Loch Duich. Refreshments in the Kintail Lodge Hotel. Saturday a trip round Skye then camp in Applecross.

Had operation on Thursday and hopes to be out on Monday. After wound heals he will be back for Radiotherapy He loked really well and was up and dressed with no plastic tubes sticking out of him when I left him. Thats why he was smiling... because I departed! I'm sure we all wish him a speedy recovery and back on his Ducati soon. Remember to keep the rubber on the road. Dan.

Much appreciated. It turned out there was one hole (repaired by you) and a cut as well as damage to my rear hugger. It took the AA 2 HOURS and a reminder phone call to not come out and rescue me. Instead they sent a recovery vehicle from a nearby garage. Hope the garage charge the AA a fortune.
