South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

went for a short early ride this morning and my bike has developed a fault... can't get above 4k revs -_- thats me out.

Just to say thanks to Billinom8s for organising and leading and Kawaskiracer for tail end Charley duty. Sorry I had to bail out at Bude. Family duties once again were calling.

Great to get out on the bike again looking forward to all the future ride soon in 2018

Cheers to all who turned up, I think we had about 20 in all.

The Sun gods were kind to us all the way around too. Did feel a little strange riding along with all that snow mounted up on the banks though.

Lots of new faces out today as well as some older ones coming out of the darkness.
A good spread of bikes too with everything from a 125 upwards coming out to play.

I'll plan another for the summer but for now let's get the regular runs posted up and get stuck in.


Thanks to Tractorwackyracer and chittled for their help being TEC and leading for part of the way. It keeps the day running very smooth.

Great ride out. Thanks Si & Mark for top lead & TEC. Lovely to see old and new faces. Looking forward to the next one.

Sorry all, had to abandon as had bitten off more than I could chew.

Back was becoming a problem so slid off to Torrington, Umberleigh and home with 3 stops.

Was good to get out though. Seems there is another ice-age on the way.

Good to meet you all today on my 1st SW Bikers rideout. Very well organised and enjoyable day out. Look forward to the next one.

Great day folks. Thanks to everyone for making it so. Great to see so many new characters on a ride out as well as the same old dodgery gits

Hope everybody made it home and lets have a summer of safe fun ride outs... after the next ice age that seems to be forecast over the next week or so....

Erm..... Apologies for the no show. Overdid a little last night after watching a tribute band. Tried to catch up with you but was too far back. Glad to see you had fun. Was sort of there albeit about 25 miles behind you.

Thanks everyone. Another fine run, marking went like clockwork and yet more places visited I'd never been to before. Looking forward to the next one. And I promise I'll post one myself this year. If I can convince anyone to venture east of Devon...

I'll come out with you Gimlet, I'm east of Devon already.

Was a cracking day with good weather and plenty of bikes. Nice fish + chips at minehead but the bike now needs a good wash

Top man. I'll work something out. Late April or May some time it'll be.

Is that like east of Eden??

I do several rides for the Wilts mob. Happy to invite you, or join you on your outing(s).

3 different Wales, White Horses and Cotswolds are the regulars. Also hope to do a Malverns this year.

Just make sure that it hasn't rained ANYWHERE for at least 3 weeks in the area you're thinking of going. Any moisture in the air or on the earth's surface and his bikes will stay vacuum sealed.

Yup..., and I'm still in there with them.
