Monster Trip

[Red Biker]

So finally arrangements are all made!
This Sunday I leave Nottm for a round trip to John O Grots taking in Loch Ness, Loch Lomand et all 😀

I've packed for all occasions inc plenty of base layers ( that's long johns to all you older gents)

The route is flexible but basically

Day 1 Notts to Perth via Newcastle and East Coast.

Day 2 Perth to JOG stopping over in Wick

Day 3 wick to Loch Lomond taking in Loch Ness and Fort William

Day 4 back home via Lakes

I'll put more details on here as I progress, had to have an emergency repair to the seat today as I broke one of the prongs at the front end last weekend. Feel better now that's done.

Like a dog with Two!!!

@ proteus yeah not far from me! I work 2 days in Solihull so pass you regularly on the M69 👍

Has anyone used those cheap £5 throttle aids? Are they any use?

The little plastic thumb thing? Yep they work & are ok, but five pounds? thought they were a couple of bucks on e-bay.

You mean the heel aid? Yes I've used one, great if you do a lot of motorway work, but a PITA around town as they get in the way (IMO). I tried mine for about 250 miles took it off and never refitted it

Hi Col, Yes that's the things. I was in a shop where they were £5 but dont have time to order on line now!
Tought they'd be worth a try for the money

'Proofs in the pudding' Dave as my dad used to say. For what they cost I'll give it a go

Started packing today, I hope I've got everything 👍
