Any owners of MG sports bikes (ones that have clip-ons, not sports tourers, i.e. Le Mans, 1100 Sport, conversions etc.) are invited to book themselves into the Buccleuch Arms hotel in Moffat for all or any of the 3 nights of Friday 24th, 25th and 26th April 2026. If there isn’t availability, book into a nearby hotel and meet in the bar at 6:30pm prior to dinner. The plan will be to share our interest and experiences and to discuss and plan ride-out options on the Saturday and Sunday; where to go, what to visit etc. This may be a very select gathering but its focus should be its appeal. It will certainly suit sports bike riders that need to travel light and where the normal camping format may not be practical or attractive. Once booked in, please email peter.turner88@btinternet.com so that I can coordinate with the hotel a combined dinner booking and explore if there is any interest or opportunities in meeting up on route on the Friday.
The Buccleuch Arms in Moffat caters for bikes and bikers particularly well and there is a central area with cleaning and other support equipment for bikes. Run by a biker family that can suggest and download routes into your GPS, the central parking area is locked overnight with CCTV. The area of the Scottish Boarders is particularly beautiful with some great uncluttered motorcycling roads.
