Re: Friendly ride - Sunday July 8th
I'd be up for another friendly ride out, the only issue is that I work in a cafe. July and August are the busiest months there, so I can't make any promises about getting the day off. It's Sunday carvery you see. I'd say it's better to also finish the route not in Teignmouth, it'll be hectic I'd ima...

Re: Introducing Myself
Hey! I tend to ride a lot around newton abbot - torquay - paignton and sometimes out to plymouth. If you fancy a ride any time let me know! (I have a m8 who also rides around similar areas, dannymassive.) I'm free this Monday - Wednesday if you're up for a bimble. I tend to be fairly laid back with ...

Re: Decided to respray my tank..
Thanks Badger, I've been following those tips after doing some research on t'internet before I started. I warm the cans up in some warm water before using them, shake for the 2 minutes like it says and while using, and I try to keep the right distance from the tank while spraying. I've also been cle...

Re: Decided to respray my tank..
First 3 coats on. As you can see it has a nice orange peel effect to it! I'm planning on wet sanding it tomorrow with some fine grit paper then laying on another coat. Hopefully that will get a nice smooth finish. http://www.kenhawley.co.uk/IMG_20120316_232438.jpg http://www.kenhawley.co.uk/IMG_2012...

Decided to respray my tank..
I didn't get any before pictures as I was too engrossed in the actual work, and wanted to make a start before it was dark. Also, the weather forecast isn't that great and I wanted to get the primer on before any rain. Here's a couple of pictures of the tank nicely sanded down. I used a wire brush to...

Re: It's me...Ms Leaf, the sheepskin pillion...
hi! I remember seeing the sheep that looked like it was riding pillion. Till the chap fixing his scottoiler said it was only a seat cover XD. Did he manage to sort that in the end? I remember mention of a sheared bolt.

Re: greetings!
Thanks peeps. It was great to see so many at the ride out yesterday. I had a blast. I think I found the tail end charlie on the last leg too! (I got stuck behind a slow moving truck after getting stopped by the traffic lights) Junction markers were a godsend! I was a bit knackered after the ride, so...

Origional picture's url is included after each pic for convenience. Starting out at Tiverton.. http://www.kenhawley.co.uk/IMG...

Re: Friendly Ride - Sunday March 11th - route posted
Thanks for the great day out guys. I was very impressed with the organisation, which made it that much easier to enjoy the day without worrying about directions. I get lost pretty easy! Hope to see you guys again soon for another bimble.

greetings!
Hi all. Just noticed this section so I thought I should say hi, as I'm going on this friendly ride tomorrow. Looking forward to it! I haven't done any long rides to speak of. So I'm fairly new to biking in general. I started about a year ago with a cheap chinese 125, which I needed to get to work. A...

Re: Ride to the friendly ride from Newton Abbot
Evening all, just joined here. I'm a friend of Danny's and I just found out I've got the day off this sunday. Not sure what to do, so I thought I'd go for a ride somewhere...
