Hello from Newton Abbot!

Post by hobbers »

Hello everyone - I'm Steve (nickname hobbers), me & wifey recently moved into the area (Newton Abbot) from Essex. A Big wrench and don't have any biker mates local to me anymore :( So, really interested in hooking up with other "locals" for ride outs get to know people and get to know Devon. :D Well, when its dries out a bit!
I'm a mature rider with over 40 years under my belt. Currently riding a '21 KTM Superduke GT (my sports bikes career is over now although have owned a few).

Also try to get an annual trip in each year, mostly with Freedom Motorcycles. But this year a few of us are going for self-guided in the Picos/Pyranees this year. Also like to do track days as well, but not sure what's in this next of the woods.

Say hello!

Hi Steve and welcome. There's a wide range of bikes and riders in the SWB and there will be plenty of ride outs posted as the weather improves. You'll get to see a wide variety of roads on them - some fast sweepers, some goat tracks if the leader gets it wrong 🙄
But most of all it's a great craic - there's no massive egos here so just join in.
And it's always nice to see another KTM owner on here 👍
KTM 1190ADV - sold
KTM 790ADV - sold
KTM 790 Duke - current
Honda CB300R - can I get any smaller 🙄

Hi and welcome to the forum, hope to catch up with you soon on a ride out. As you say think the sun might be on its way soon for some proper biking weather.
