What do you do with a flat tyre?

I know it's a stupid question! I have a 1979 Suzuki A100 and when I went to ride it yesterday I found I've got a flat. It was fine at the weekend so I reckon I must have picked up a puncture then. When this has happened before I've walked the bike a mile down the road to my local bike mechanic but h...

Re: Devon Air Ambulance Charity Ride 9th July

I shall be there. I've not been since it started leaving from Trago. Any tips on where I'll find the T-Shirt point etc?

Is there a way to identify or meet up with any other members of South West Bikers? It would be nice to put faces to posts.

Question about taking my test

So I've been riding on a CBT for about 10 years, renewing every couple of years when it expires. Back in 2009 I did the DAS and took my full bike test on the VERY LAST DAY before they changed it and introduced the thing about doing certain manoeuvres on the test-centre circuit. I failed because I pu...

Hello from Tiverton

Hi. I joined the board back in 2014 but never got around to introducing myself! I'm Rick and I'm based in Tiverton. I've wanted to ride for as long as I can remember but life got in the way (as it does). Finally started riding about 8 years ago. I've not yet passed my test so I'm renewing my CBT eve...

Re: Biker Destinations in Devon

Thanks for the replies, most were a bit further away than I wanted to go. So I headed out from Tiverton down through Exeter, via Cullompton and Broadclyst then meandered down the western side of the Exe estuary. I parked up near Powderham church behind a car sporting an swbikers.com bumper sticker a...

Biker Destinations in Devon

Hi, Are there any popular destinations that bikers tend to end up at in Devon? I'm thinking of times when I'm out for a nice ride but there isn't an organised ride-out. I know in Dorset many people congregate at West Bay. Is there anywhere in north or east Devon or down Teignmouth way that I might b...

Re: Devon Air Ambulance Trust's Motorcycle Ride Out 13th Jul

I am hoping to be there for my very first Ride-Out! It's also a lot further than I have ever ridden in one day before too so I hope everyone is kind to the 'newbie'!
