Best of luck James, you have brilliant roads up there to enjoy. Is the green welly shop still a focal point for bikes?

Cheers guy’s.

Yeah the green wellie is still very popular with bikers up here. To the point the owners have put a bit of money into the bike parking and sectioned it off, concreted it and so on. In the summer you’ll be lucky to get in and have to park in the lay-by over the road.

Word of warning; The food isn’t great though and very expensive. So if anybody does go try the “real food cafe” just a minutes walk or if you’re on the A84 from Callander road there’s the “Broch Cafe” probably 30 minutes prior to arriving in tyndrum. Really really good food.

Good news Ron. Knockhill also a good mid-point for a meet (either at a track night or race weekend).

Looking forward to getting out and about sometime soon.

I've also got an excellent ex-Ducati mechanic over in the West Coast if anyone is looking for a recommendation.

Are you volunteering to be a meet up victim Alan S4?

Yeah KH is a good mid point. I’m up there fairly often, for tracking the R6…I’ll no be taking the evo around again…within two hours I’d snapped the rear brake toe peg and ground out the exhaust.
