Lol ripping off Iains idea just for the Banter here  Grin 

So It will be in sept, hopefully the wknd of 12/13th yeah guys??
You can ride what you want when you want,but if you wanna learn to jump big bring your balls,i will gladly offer any advice i can give. (think chris wants me to give him some pointers,so some kind of video cam with a screen will be useful,its the best tool for explaining where you are going wrong on jumps,or any section for that matter)
All welcome,aslong as the bike aint a pink one  Grin Grin  so bring any mates,more people the better banter we are bound to have.

...Quick go for it now, before your brain catches up with your balls !

BTW guys, when it gets closer to the time, and i start organising things (When i say organise things, i mean just when we're meeting. Finding somewhere to stay is UP TO YOU. I'll probably be camping at glen nevis.), i'll give people my mobile number, so we can find each others and riiiiiiiide! I'm hopefully getting up there with 3 other people.. All of whom ride oranges...

Or, and peatys proper training ground, does this involve the secret training tracks too? I've been riding some secret training tracks of other pros near me (shhh) and they're toally different to anything i've ever ridden!

I'd be up for a day visit to wherever that is on the w/e before. Just need to make sure i can afford scotland first. Going to be tight on money next month Cheesy

Guys im sorry to say this but i may not be able to make it for the meet, im gonna be working up in the shetlands the week before and if the job doesnt quite go to plan i willl have to stay up there untill its completed (ie. over the wknd of the 12th) so as a result i cant commit fully to anything for that wknd just yet,but i will try my best to be there and i will keep u all updated.
Im gutted cos i really want to go and i havent even ridden fort bill yet this year (or for a few years actually). So will do my best.

Right, now my neighbours cannot take the dogs.

I've got a sister who i can persuade to take them, but she's already said no once already..
