Forum rules
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.

I withdraw into my shell sometimes but never under a rock.

Recession, mortgage rates, pay claims etc etc.... but I can't say Ive noticed a particular lack of sports bikes on the road in general on my travels so wondered why forum rideouts might be different.

Rare to see a sports bike under someone who's been riding Ffs more than 2 years these days. Used to be that it was mainly the race reps out and about, as tech has improved and the influx of nakeds that actually perform, handle and look nice the race rep seems to be heading track wise.

Just Google 'decline of sportbikes' and all will be revealed.. But honestly I'm surprised you hadn't noticed.
