Hello from South Molton

Post by muscles1960 »

Hello all,
I've recently moved from the Midlands to glorious Devon. Love the roads in the South West.
Been riding since 1976, starting with a KTM moped, onto Honda CB125, then Honda CB250N in 1980, when I passed my test. Took a break of 20 years or so before an acquaintance with a new Suzuki Bandit 600N in 2003. In 2007 I purchased one of the last BMW R1200ST bikes available in black. Totally different experience to Jap bikes. Some might say, an acquired taste. I love it, even the front end..
I don't get to ride it much now, but do still like taking it out for an occasional run. I aim to keep it going for as long as I can. It's barely run in with a mere 18k from new. May soon become a museum piece.
I'll look out for any of your nearby rides.
David.

Hi David welcome to the forum.

As you said some epic roads in Devon (and Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset) so a load to explore.

Look forward to meeting up on a ride out in 2025.

Hiya David.
As I'm one of the more prolific ride out argamanizers and only being 3 miles from you you'll find plenty of our ride outs start from oop here in sunny North Devon. We do rideouts throughout the year when the weather gods allow.
See you soon :-bd
