David-hrv Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 As Dave says, sorry we can't make it. Been looking forward to it all year, but only got 2 miles down the road and everything got totally soaked. Forecast was for more rain so decided, very reluctantly, to abandon . Maybe we should have camped, then at least we would have been there this morning already! Always next year! Enjoy the run guys and stay safe! David Quote
Hornet600 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Wow! First time at applecross and it was brilliant! Weather was almost perfect all weekend apart from two light showers. Big thanks to Bob and the team for organising it. I would love to go back next year. Photos to be d/loaded and posted later. Cheers everyone 1 Quote

clansman Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Home safely and relatively dry though rained from the Lecht all the way home. Thaks to the guys in the van for "shadowing" me till I got fuel the westy must have been on fumes as guage showed zero!!!. Awesome weekend with a great group of people. Quote
judder Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Great weekend and reasonable weather, got a mostly dry run all the way down. Met up with the guys for brekkie at fort william, removed my wheel spacers then my clutch threw the toys out the pram. Managed to nurse it home. Quote
JimM Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Great weekend, great company, great roads. Big thanks to Bob for all the work in making it a success. 1 Quote

Met up with the guys for brekkie at fort william, removed my wheel spacers then my clutch threw the toys out the pram. Managed to nurse it home. What's this about wheel spacers? Is the clutch the cable broken? Quote

Matta Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 What's up with the motor? Oil pressure through the roof and blowing oil out the front of the engine (8 bar, should be 4-5), very noisy cams and an overcharging alternator. Apart from that it's fine. Quote
Rab (bombero) Reid Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 ... then my clutch threw the toys out the pram. Not good! Wasn't it a new set? Quote
