You are of course welcome along to any Southwestbikers rideout, however your bike must be in good mechanical order (we don’t want anything falling off of it including you), taxed and have a current MOT. You must have a valid motorcycle licence and current motor insurance. You are in charge of your motorcycle at all times and SWB will not accept any responsibility for actions you take or any accidents you may have. Always ride within your own capabilities and do not put others at risk. Remember, while you are on a Southwestbikers rideout you are representing the site and what it stands for.
Thank-you.
Don't forget......ANYONE can organise and run a rideout.

First of the bailers I'm afraid... Will be away...
. . . . . . and so to bailer #2. . . . . . I'm here - but the Fut's out - still in a myriad peices 'cos been waiting for parts, and still needs an MOT after I finish nailing it back together. I'll have to be checking the heated grips and the new super duper hand-carved screen deflector another time - soon I hope.
Have a good and safe one chaps & chappesses
If we don't get a warm spell i will be bailing ..... -3 at 9am this morning ,and friend`s who live in Barnstable ,and outside Holsworthy are saying the Roads are horrendous.......really not interested in getting frozen and riding icy Roads
And normaly balmy East Devon is at -5 tonight (2300 hrs). Forecast for Sunday is not so cold as projected for Thursday & Friday, but it still ain't gonna be nice.
I can feel a postponement coming on so hope to make that one.
Had -10 here by 10 pm yesterday evening. Supposed to drop to -12 tonight.
Forecast for Sunday is 3-4 degrees but with wind chill feels like -3 to -5. Wind chill at 60 mph feels like a nice 4X4 with winter tyres, a heater and a radio.
Went out last Sunday and it was lovely. Only about 3 degrees at best but sunny and no east wind. If its like that this Sunday I'll go for it but with this howling easterly I'm out, even if it is above freezing.
Trouble is, this time next week it will no doubt be pouring with rain..
lets go for March 25th then, get mothers day etc out of the way, it's palm sunday so make the plans now.

Yeh, you'd think they would... but the truth is unless you have spiked tyres they fall over almost as easy as any other bike does on ice & snow.
They are easier to pick up though, and don't generally get hurt by the fall, unlike the rider...
I don't ride on snow now (did when I was younger) as you can't see what's actually under it!
1190 Adventure S, 990 Superduke, DRZ-400E - all the bases covered.

All true, but I'd call on a few years of off-road experience, not to say inate cranial decreptitude and old-man irrisponsability, and take on the challenge just to be able pootle 2 miles down to my local for a restorative beverage . As it is I've been stuck within the confines of Fut Towers all day, and unless I can purloin a Snowcat I won't be going anywhere until this white rubbish clears .
