Dates for your Diary.....
2019
Charity motorcycle run on Sunday 5 May 2019.
An ideal opportunity for a fun day riding, meet new friends and enjoy some great company.
No we're not just doing a run for the fun of it!!
We'll meet on Sunday morning at Gasoline Alley Cafe for 9.30am for a Bacon Roll and a tea or coffee, then we aim to be on the road for 10am.
The run will include a variety of roads leaving Saltire towards the Leadburn inn, down the Devil's Beeftub to Moffat and the St Mary's Loch Café for a spot of lunch, then over to Selkirk and back up the A7 to Saltire.
£10.00 per person for the above including donation to Charity (payable on the day).
We're delighted to announce that the charity for 2019 is My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, founded by former Scotland Rugby Cap - Doddie Weir
In June 2017 Doddie revealed he was suffering from Motor Neurone Disease.
From the outset, Doddie has been driven to help fellow sufferers and seek ways to further research into this, as yet, incurable disease.
In November 2017 Doddie and his Trustees launched the registered charity My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
Its aims are simple:
- To raise funds to aid research into the causes of Motor Neurone Disease and investigate potential cures.
- To make grants to individuals suffering from MND, to enable them to live as fulfilled a life as possible.

Practical things......
Please ensure that bikes are fueled before the run, so we all get out together.
Please note this is not a race, its a day to connect with like minded people and enjoy the experience and excitement of being on 2 (or 3) wheels, whilst raising funds for a great cause!
Riders are responsible for their own ride. Be courteous, observe the laws of the road and have fun!
This run is not suitable for 125cc / Learners.

The Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)
is the first step to getting you on the road and requires no previous experience.
At Saltire we will provide you with a bike (Suzuki GSX-S125 or automatic scooter) and any clothing you need to borrow, except boots.
Once you have completed your CBT, you will qualify for a discount in our clothing department, so you can start building up your own bike kit.
Prices are as follows:
CBT Monday-Friday – £160
CBT Weekends – £175
The CBT was was introduced in 1990 by the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) with the aim of increasing skills for learner motorcyclists and improving road safety.
It is made up of five different elements, some in the classroom, some in the training yard and lastly out on the road.
Our Instructors will only take you out onto the road once they feel that you are confident handling a motorcycle, and are safe to do so. Traditionally, the CBT course is one full day, but can continue for another half day or so, depending on how individual students get on (or if the weather causes problems!)
Learners will be expected to use the roads safely and legally. So we highly recommend that provisional licence holders read The Highway Code before undertaking a CBT. But remember, The Highway Code is for life, not just for learners!
