As usual I am organising a 2 day tour based from lynmouth for Visordown. However owing to Injuries, marriages, and hectic work and social calendars there are plenty of spaces available this year (A first... I had to use a larger B&B last year to fit everyone in..) Check out the thread on vd http...

Sorry to hear about a death on one of my fave stretches..

I have gsxr100 K2. blue and white..... there's an eye opener!!

But since I ride mine like a pansy it was never going to be me.

Just when you though it couldn't get much slippier.. some bloke in a big truck throws gravel all over the place....

Yep was DD100 waiting for us.. Had a hardy group of 4 in the end DD100 Jenks Phizz and Mountain300 from V'D'. Did the whole route as posted with a great meal in Lynmouth. Weather was anything from thick fog to dazzlin' sun. Tarmac was mainly cold and slippy, strewn with trouble in several forms.. BU...

Ok D'D' 100 we'll look mout for you on the approach to the tivi roundabout and as we start up th Bolham road.. Big yellow GS with a couple of bikes in tow aught to be easy enough to spot...

Phizz.

gonna be most peoples last pleasure ride of the year I guess.....

Beat make it a good one...

If conditions and riders Comfort are up to it.. this will be the route...

If folk are getting cold or tired I'll cut it short for safety reasons.



enjoy..

Looks like I'm meeting Jenks and Iggy in Honiton at 10:15.. we'll potter up to M5 junction 27 for 10:45 and collect anyone waiting there. Seems as if the garage at J27 might be a shell.. there is only one, so there shouldn't be any great problem.. Its on the south side of the roundabout.. I rode som...

Roll Call For Sure's.. Phizz Jenks Iggy Donkey dick maybe's.. 1 Blue Arnoldsniffalot Svr ash Meeting points for sunday 11th dec. Jet garage Honiton 10.15 depart Shell Garage M5 junction 27 south side 10.45 depart I have phoned the Village Inn in Lynmouth... they have a full menue on till about 14:00...

Seems to be some interest.. Sunday being the more popular choice at present... So lets say Sunday... Up to Lynmouth for lunch time.. (the Village inn does good food)... I'll have to see if they have grub on for sunday lunch... Can meet Esso garage (I think ) Tiverton junction M5 south side.... 10:45...

Thinking of a ride out this weekend... 10/11th dec.. weather looks reasonable. I've no plans for sat or sun.. so flexi at the moment. route will be Exeter, Tiverton Minehead, Porlock Lynmouth, see how it goes from there. Roads will be very twisty all the way with something for everyones taste, BUT.....

If you have any doubts about this system bin them now..... only the leader has to know the route..any place names or have any sense of direction at all.. no one is gonna get lost.. (does work best if he or she rides at a good pace) any offs or breakdowns get noticed real quick rather than being left...

Nick.. JUst face it.... you need to join the Triumph tiger/ BMW GS crew...

Great ride out on a fab day.. Met more SWbikers.. but I really need a team line up to put faces to names to bikes... Dived off at Tavistock, sorry to the guys just arriving,,, I though you lot had split off earlier for a different route... I dived up over the moor to Two Bridges and Mortonhampstead,...

Gonna give this a try on the GS.. only been out once.. and that was today.. oops.. yesterday..

Guess if I put the panniers on and extend them right out it'll stop most of the overtakes and so boost my self delusional status of riding god....
