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. 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!

Hello from Newton Abbot!
Re: Hello from Newton Abbot!
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

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.
