Ahh, I wondered if rain would stop play, glad you found out in time. The Triumph's fixed now so I'll aim for the next one on May 12th.

I can't make it this month as am about to start removing the Triumph's faulty ABS unit and will then be re-plumbing the brake lines. If all goes to plan am hoping to make Seaton Bike night on the 16th, or maybe the 23rd, depending if the spanner gods are kind to me .

As I briefly mentioned elsewhere on the forum, the Bluebell Cafe on the B3181 at Willand near Cullompton EX15 2PF is hosting bike nights in 2026. The first one is on Tuesday 14th April from 17.00hrs to 21.00 hrs, then the second Tuesday of every month from then on at the same times - 17.00 to 21.00 ...

Yep, as I was on my own the only stop was at Ducks. I think the Bluebell would be a better stop than the Steamer should we be that way in future. Yep, the Bluebell's a much nicer option. For general info', the Bluebell is starting regular bike nights in 2026: From 1700 to 2100 hrs on the second Tue...

Gave West Bay a miss - Stopped instead at a favourite, Ducks Farm in Abbotsbury. Did you give the Steamer in Cully a miss too? Wouldn't blame you if you did, it was blighted with yelling ankle biters when I looked in around 2.45-ish - not a biker in sight and at £3.75 for iffy coffee methinks I won...

Brian, I doubt I can make this one but if 'stuff' changes I'll meet you at the Three Horseshoes, about 200 yards east of where Seaton Road (the Honiton/Ottery/Farway road) merges with the A3052 on the left.

Yep, got caught big time. I threaded through the cones at the barriers by the Esso garage, hoping for the best. Rode a mile with no problems, then got turned around and had to go back. Went in to Seaton, then Beer, then picked up the A3052 not far from my turn off to Honiton and Ottery. What a pain!...

Nope - wires crossed there young Si', that info's something to do with 'Seaton Biker's Day out'. The proper Seaton Bike Night is as per' my first post - ignore all imposters!

Every Thursday, first one tonight (2nd April). - Venue: Quayside Cafe, Axmouth Harbour EX12 4AA from 18.00. 🏍🏍🏍
I'll be there.

A grand day out was had, with great weather, dry roads, minimal to no traffic and a chance to bone up on our pothole dodging - including a smidgin of road grit to keep Jug on his toes :)): . Thanks for the company lads I enjoyed it - there's nothing like biking and banter to cheer up the weekend :D ...

Weather's still looking good for tomorrow folks. Can't wait to get into a decent rideout at last . See you at the cafe .

We're starting our rideout on Sunday only 10 minutes up the road from Bridge at 10.00 a.m. Did you miss the Topic? https://www.southwestbikers.com/viewtopic.php?t=102674 .. . . . Your second home at Torrington is our first stop. Why not join us?

Looks like 'spoons to finish then, cos it's Brian's faveritt innit! 🏍.

Rider list so far:
Moi.
Ptolemyx
Gallbladder (Andy S)
Jug (?)

Any more for the soiree in the sun?

Weather's looking v' promising for the weekend and one can't let Herr Ptolemyx keep hogging the show with his rideouts can one? :)): ; so, I'm putting one together for this Sunday, weather permitting with (mostly) good roads and and as traffic-free as possible, with a coffee and snack stop along the...
