I've never had any problems except for the exhausts. But I take the originals along to show him and he passes it no problem.

Unlike a certain well known Dealer when I put the 996 in tried to tell me the gearbox was shot due to the noise from the clutch plates.

It was a place in stirling called pinnical. Shut down years ago.

Was a shame as the prices were spot on and they rushed through my bike when I needed a new head race before going over to belfast.

I normally head out towards callander then out towards loch Lomond heading up to fort William. There is a stop all the bikers use called the green welly. There is a junction there left takes you to Oban straight ahead takes you to fort William.

All sweeping a and b roads.

We all meet at McDonald's at Falkirk at 9 in the morning then decide from there.

I'm sure there is a group from Ayrshire or Kilmarnock if you fancy heading out in a pack.

Sounds great, thanks. I've been up to the green welly on my way to Oban before but not strayed much further north on the bike. We ended up making an emergency stop in a tyre place in Crieff on the way back and they were brilliant. That and a trip to Perth is the extent of my Scottish riding. I'll definitely look out for a group near me though as some of the roads around Dumfries look good too.

I try not to involve S as she needs to stop every 30 minutes for either the toilet, coffee or because she gets uncomfortable.

And I hate getting a dig in the ribs for popping the front end lol.

I am always up for a ride out. Been out a few times this year but nowhere too far.

Am hoping the rain stops long enough to get some serious miles in.

Does Alan Duffus still have the bad reputation he had when starting off in Leslie?, he was never a guy to be trusted and no way would I trust a full service history rubber stamp

three grieving families who have been bereaved by Alan Duffus’s irresponsible driving would not trust either, I expect

It don't know anything about the dealer history. As long as the bikes are maintained correctly and come with manufacturers warrenty or gaurentee then that's good with me.
