South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

Hi all,
Being from West Cornwall originally, I decided to take the Z800 for a long one today and went from my place at Tedburn St Mary across country to Widemouth and then down the A39/A30 to Portreath.

I used to hang out there 30 years ago with my girlfriend and haven't been back for years.

I was pleasantly surprised to find so many bikers there enjoying each other's company, not to mention the sunshine, when I arrived. A wonderful selection of bikes on view too. Just a really relaxed vibe and if it was,not for the long ride back, I would have stayed chatting far longer.

Just one of those days when I am proud to call myself a biker

Sometimes it's nice to get out there and enjoy the bimble.
Sounds like you made the most of o top day and weather.

Top job

Tis a beauty when the sun is shining ;) . The café does proper tea in mugs and tasty bacon sarnies too

Surprised anyone talked to you, usually a little clicky there.

There will be the same group there most of the day every Sunday.

I can only comment on how I found it, but it was fine.

That said, coming from Porthleven, I know only too well how territorial folks get. Back in the day, If anyone from Helston rode through the village it was as good as a declaration of war haha!!

Probably because the only time I've stopped there I've been on the mountain bike - no one will talk to me in my shorts!

I don't normally stop there as I have a family cuppa stop 1/2 mile away. Did stop with Badger once & were given free mugs, was interesting figuring out how to carry them home though.

That,s probably why those old school jackets had the double front zip. I've had everything from bike parts to fish and chips stuffed down the front of my jacket before now!
