Yes nowt to do with me .

Ok Bazman have you any idea who is the organiser? Thanks in advance?

[bazman]

I do , but not sure if he wants this banded about on a national basis ?
Perhaps Physo crop circle could give you the relevant details , as I'm not on the facebook page for the event.

Edit : here's the page you need https://www.facebook.com/groups/4273005 ... 1/?fref=ts

Can only speak from personal experience , when I ran my " Bazman highland scoot tours" we kept the numbers to no more than a dozen , and mostly all new each other.
Had loads of requests to join our group, but we kept the numbers and people the same. Main reasoning was the logistics of riding in the scottish highlands , on some tricky one track roads and difficult passes , can you imagine 40-50 scooters attempting this , would be carnage also places to stay , and not being snobby ...but didn't want the parka, mirrors and whippy arieal brigade sunday ride out crew attending either !!! ( sorry only being honest)

So perhaps the organisers are trying to keep a manageable number as well, and after doing the North Coast 500 , I can say there is a few demanding roads /tracks incorporated in the route .

Hope this is off some use , cheers

Well that sounds right up my alley. I ride a mildly tuned GP00 with one other usually on an Avanti, we like to ride fast and basically do more of the C2C type rides. Agree Baz that things need organising well,saftey first un all that. Maybe see out there on a similar excursion one day!? Best MT

Hello, I am behind the North Coast 500 Classic Scoot 2016, for a while now I have mainly attended ridden events and long tours with my mates that are all on the same wave length as myself, I have ridden this route many times on scoots and bikes over the years and love it, while riding it this year on my own I thought it would be great to ride the route with some like minded scooterists on classic scoots and maybe encourage some that have never been up this far north to come up and ride through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, I posted a small add on the Lambretta Club of Scotland facebook page to see if their was any interest and sure enough the very people I thought would be up for it were first to commit, I am amazed their is so much interest although in reality when it come down to it I reckon their will be around 50-60 hard core riders at the start point, it is open to Classic scooters only because that's what myself and my mates ride and only open to experienced riders as it's a very challenging route which if the weather turns can be horrendous, so not for Sunday run riders, its not a secret and has been kept low key for the very reasons Baz points out above. Cheers Craig
