    We could be but it'd be a lot later by the time we got to Gourock. Nikki is meeting us at Brampton at 11am-ish. I was thinking of going over the ferry, but it might be getting too late.

    I know. We'll discus it tomorrow. It just means we might only arrive in time for Jamesies' treacle pudding.

    Hmmm. Reminds me of a French military delegation visiting a UK HQ to discuss defence of the Channel Tunnel. We all looked confused, “Surely, it’s a reserved demolition’?”

    Google it!

    I forgot to mention that some poor guy had to push his very new BMW onto the ship. Don't know what was wrong with it. But not a good start or end to his trip.
    Don't like to brag but Waspy made it under his own steam

    The week of the GMU Bellingham a couple of years ago, when I did a mini tour of Scotland, I counted nearly 2 GS's for every other bike combined. Huge stats for BMW.

    I've stuck the paniers on the Harley and the Triumph:rolleyes:, cause if it's going to be damp roads (which is looking likely):( I'll take the Triumph, away to look out my gear now and I'll pack it away in whichever panniers in the morning
