It goes without saying - thank you Si for such a fab day out.

I know like a few of the others that have already posted I'm new to Ride Outs as well but as being sooooo new to the whole biking scene I want to say a really BIG thank you to everyone that has made me feel so welcome today. It makes me wonder why I never did this years ago!!

Happy riding everyone.

Just like to say a big thankyou to all who organised the rideout today,it was a great day out. :) (didn't like that butt clenching road upto Great Torrington thou. Slippy sliding all over the place & made all our bikes dirty :| ).
The roads after that made up for it thou,excellent!
:)

This was my first ride out with you lot so it's nice to be able to identify a few names.(if i remember :oops: ).
That Speedy chappy's a funny man isn't he. Probably get a "goodfella" response now :lol: & if you don't know what that is,see the film 8)
Anyway no doubt i'll see some of you around,ride safely.

Jez :wink:

I'm knackered, the bike's filthy....but what a day 8)
I know I'm not the only one who's been looking forward to this for ages, thankfully the weather held this year(and was actually quite good at times!) great roads/food/comany :wink: Really good turn out, great to see lots of new faces and the old ones (SPEEDY :mrgreen: )
Big thanks to Si for organising.
Hopefully see you all out and about soon :D
