Ahh a connoisseur.. (Thank god for spell check)
I think its the best of the blended whiskeys...
A friend of mine has a collection of VERY nice whiskeys that cost an eye watering amount...
Seriously big money...
I would have to be drunk just to open the bottle to drink them..
you need a run up here and visit a few places .
i drive past most of the spey side distilleries with work so know the ones most folk don't know about.
:onya:
Hi Seth..
That sounds a bloody good idea mate..
I hope at some point we can arrange a forum meet up..
Love going North.. Scotland has some amazing scenery..
Some years ago I was on a car forum and we arranged a meet up in the North West of Scotland (including Skye)
I really enjoyed the long weekend trip.
We visited a remote coastal restaurant where the sea food could not be any fresher.. (caught a few hours ago).
thinking of a late summer get together up here with camping or clamping pods late summer depending on interest.
any ideas on dates and places welcome .
:cheers:
I reckon I am in for such a meet up mate...
Keep the idea alive and see how much interest is generated.
I'll start a thread at the start of the summer as see what i can come up with once i can get an idea of numbers .
I would love to come. Can't promise though, as to many unsolved variables in my life at the moment.
Would love to meet you Andre....
My very best wishes my friend..
S.
I'll ask all for best time for meet up .
andre is a top guy only problem was when we met last year. it was during a rally in belgium during my 50th birthday celebrations he took a run to meet me.
he's a really good guy but i was a little hung over to say the least.
was ace to meet him tho.
:cheers:
Thank you Seth..
My head is a bit over mellow just now..
Thankfully I am off work tomorrow... Hic
As I mentioned, I dont do this very often but when I do I go a bit over the top...
More of a Speyside malt man myself but I know exactly what you mean. Always a decent collection in my house, shame the Mrs can't stand the smell of it. Then again, at least I don't have to share it with her :imrgreen:
:cheers:
There is good in every negative lloydjames.
My best wishes to you.

Wasn't a problem (to me :happy1: ) that you were hung over. Was great to meet with you, Emma, and the other blokes. Would have been nice to go for a ride together, but in hindsight it was good we didn't as my 14 was running only on 3 cylinders. Being broiled in the sun wasn't that pleasurable in a sober state. Must have been worse being hungover. Now I would be happy for a little broiling session after this long wet dark season.
I would love to see you and Emma again. And getting to know some of the mates here in person would be grant. And seeing Scotland would be a bonus.
Gotta watch out for the wild Haggis up north Andre, they hunt in packs up there & have been known to bring down a man!
Sound more dangerous when ingesting their "parts".
When I lived in Switzerland I was told to be careful with certain sheep as people had been mauled or killed by them. Maybe these were imported from Scotland? I don't know but certainly good advice.
More dangerous than the sheep is the infamous Bagpipe spider !!
It lurks in the Trossachs and screams like a banshee in the mating season !!

As a white van man I to have been to the speyside distilleries. Unfortunately not to taste the stuff. But to pick up cases and deliver them all over the UK. for sheer the beauty and excellent wildlife, oh and the occasional fighter jet :grin: The Macallan Distillery was the best. Does anyone think that it would be a mistake to do the whisky trail on our bikes?? :lowside: :undecided:

As Crocodile Dundee would say:
That's not a dangerous animal, this is a dangerous animal 🕷😄

We have some half decent sized mozzies too...

Fortunately on the days pictured, there was no mosquito problem... :whistling:
Yes we ARE tougher than you.
You lost a bit of weight Mick? or did the mozzies suck it out of ya?
This is not a competition to see who is the tuffest Mick, because there is no competition. We are :stir: :happy1:
:stir:
Being descendants of "hard core" criminals that were thrown into the wild after a long harsh voyage gives credence to your claim :whistling:
Very good reply Andre :clapping:
