Great roads, fantastic views, fabulous weather (all year ...!), good food,
beaches, mountains, quaint villages - that's what you get, when you come
with Canary Moto Adventure, to the Canary Islands.

We supply the bikes (2008 BMW F650GS, F800GS and R1200GS), knowledgeable
local english speaking guides and a backup van.  We'll take you on the best
mountain roads, the best beaches and the best local restaurants.

You can either book the entire tour with us (maximum 7 riders plus pillion
passengers) or just simply rent the bikes for a day's riding.  Our tours are
very flexible, tell us how many days, what islands you want to visit, how
many riders, type of accommodation and we'll do the rest.


Check us out at www.cmabikes.com (and have a look at the video.....!).

Good Afternoon,

The Spittal of Glenshee Hotel in the beautiful Scottish highlands would like to welcome all bike clubs to the area.  The roads around Glenshee make ideal bike routes and the location, in the heart of Scotland, makes it an perfect base for touring the countryside.

The road up through Glenshee to Royal Deeside is the highest main road in Britain and was once one of the most notorious, with the feared Devil’s Elbow and its 1 in 3 gradient.

As a special introductory offer we are offering bike clubs rates from ONLY £9.95 per person per night. A full Scottish breakfast can be added for only £5 per person.

If you are interested in touring the heart of Scotland, please phone me now for more information on this great offer.  These rates are subject to availability so call early to avoid disappointment.

With regards,

Dawn Tweddle

Hi guys I was just checking out your club site !  And I thought your members may be interested in a new web store I've developed selling Custom and Cruiser parts & accessories we are constantly updating the site with new products.

We did have a shop in Bournemouth Dorset but the overheads were crazy!
But now we have the on-line shop we can keep the cost down.

BONNYRIGG MOTORCYCLE CLUB

14th June 2010

Time 20.20

Welcome members and visitors to our monthly club meeting.

Apologies for their absence from Laura, Denis and Brian.    

Positive feedback from Denis run to Whitehaven, the second overnight run of the year, with fantastic weather making for hot dry roads. New partnerships forming on the run with the lost Boys making an appearance, Batman and Robin duelling and the Secret Millionaire giving the club some sophistication, all adding to the fun.  Not so much fun for James bining his Aprilla Tuono on the Sunday, but happy to report no serious injury except a sore wrist. Thanking Denis in his absence for his time, work and effort in putting the run together.

Gus up-dating members  on his June run to Ullapool with itinerary at hand, cancellations making places still available for members wishing to go on the run.

Tam Webster secured a substantial order with Capital Embroidery, with his own money for polo shirts, hoodies and caps, to be distributed at the clubs next social, then after at our July club meeting. A big thank you to Tam for taking this on.

BMF Bikefest Kelso 8-11th July. Members who are going to Kelso on bikes and would like camping kit to be taking down there, please bring to next club social on the 28/06/10.  As in previous years we will have a stand to promote the club, distribute free soft drinks and sell raffle tickets to which the club has contributed £100, any member who wishes to donate anything to the raffle would be very much appreciated.  As always a small group make the trip down on the Thursday 08/07/10 to secure our camping plot for the club and start erecting tents. Departure for Kelso on the Thursday is at Sheriffhall Park and Ride just located to the east of the A7 between Danderhall Village and Sheriffhall roundabout at 12.00pm midday. 

Steve briefly updating his run in August to Portmahomack.

Colin's run to Inverarary in September is fully booked at this time.

Moto GP 18-21ST June, Gary making the trip and some undecided.

Stormin the Castle 3-5th September booking and tickets check the club forum or contact Brian Harding for further information.

Harley Davidson open day on Saturday 12th June attracting a big crowd, with Kenny and Duncan at the front, leading the way  with knife, fork and plate in hand.

Steve Young demonstrating a video recorder selling @ £15.00.

Albawest bike show 25-27th June in Stirling, tickets £25.00. See Kenny.

Duncan suggesting club BBQ, Simon considering Peebles village hall as a venue and Stevie  thought of Vogrie Country Park.

Thoughts on clubs Christmas dance.

Tam implementing a new game to the club, pass the boots.

Rock night at Belhaven Fruit Farm, East Lothian, Dunbar Saturday 18th September 2010, £10.00 a ticket which includes camping.

On a serious note Colin reminding members on club runs to consider new members in the group, riders to ride to their ability, remembering built up areas where 30 and 40mph applies, consider fellow riders when overtaking/undertaking, percentages show accidents increase in group riding, the club never dictating to members how to ride their bikes, but to seriously consider the  points raised.     

Meeting closed 21.15

Members please check forum for constant up-dates.
