Anyway, I'll get those route files uploaded this evening.

I need to do some planning for the following week anyway.

Nice looking rig Stoli....... 

I must get one of those laundry racks for my top box   

It's for hangin undercrackers from to air them after you've worn them a few days. Very handy

[Red Biker]

MOT delayed until Mon as he was going to fail it on number plate and I couldn't find my original!

Same garage passed it last year!

[seth]

That's all they'll need to retest tho change number plate get tested then when home change it back .
There are lots if new daft things you can fail on in the updated mot test that's just came in this year.
Not a bike but my mates pickup failed and got a probation notice so not able to drive on the road because of faded indicator lenses.
The new test is going to catch slot of people out.

[Hooli]

Hang on those roads look damp @seth, I never ride my 14 in the rain 

[seth]

It's not next week yet 
Just getting the rain showers out of the way before you lot arrive .
Hopefully there will be snow on top of the hills for some fab pictures.
Forecast looking ok for Saturday and start if the week after .

I'm just trying to sort the twat-nav routes for getting up, but my twat-nav is refusing to turn on even though it says charged, bloody thing.

Just totally flat, panic over. Now installing updates & I'll get the routes uploaded after that. I'd better plan the rest of my week too, especially as I'll be fixing the Saab for it's MOT retest on weds evening.

Route up attached, starting from Sedbury layby. I've tweaked the end to go to Tesco in Perth for fuel so we're full ready for the morning.

Most tomtom users should need the ov2 file, the other is for really old units - according to the internet anyway.

[seth]

That looks a great route
If your needing a stop for lunch I'd recommend
the camien cafe in Rochester it's on the A68 and your route goes past the door just after my favourite bit of road (over the up and road as we called it as children) from where you join it to the Scottish border and beyond.

I've been out today and the weather was good to start with though very windy and pretty cold..
I've decided that on Friday I shall put on my water proofs regardless of what the weather is doing at my house..
That way, if I wear waterproofs then it wont rain and you lot will have a dry ride..
But if I don't wear them, it will Pee down !

Thank you Hooli for taking the trouble to create the Tom Tom files..
My Car Tom Tom has accepted your itinerary files..

MOT delayed until Mon as he was going to fail it on number plate and I couldn't find my original!

Same garage passed it last year!

Mine also failed initially but the place made me a new plate then and there so past it..
I did buy the bike from them so I suppose thats why they just replaced it without asking me !

[KiwiCol]

How come you guys can get a new plate made up?     Can't do that down this way.
