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.

Got to say really saves you from the low level sun.
That sounds good.

Just a strip of black insulation tape across the top of the visor will work in a pinch.

Come on Roy. We all thought you'd come up with a visor that automatically reacts to bright Sunlight with a low angle of incidence. P'raps a bimetallic strip behind a polarising filter to actuate a Scalextric motor lowering the visor when needed........
old and disgraceful so doing what I can while I can before I can't
