Good to see plenty of SWB faces, shame there weren't more shops to look at on the Green, but a fair few bikes there. Had a fairly quick ride back with Dan and Andy

Unfortunately I couldn't go this time, but I'll be there next week!

Sorry I splintered off at the end

But good night - plenty of bikes, plenty of peeps (including a couple I haven't seen (especially on bikes) for some time, hence the first comment

), nice ride down (perhaps a bit

at points

) shame there wasn't more entertainment wise

Who's suggestion for a route next time

perhaps the coast road if we leave a bit later

(too heavy use in commuter time) or a longer route such as moreton - bovey and arrive a bit later

One thing, 6.00 starts will be a bit difficult in term time, 7.00 would be better

The road from Teignmouth, through Shaldon is good - twisty!

Perhaps something should be organised for next week?

Was a good turn out, sorry I didnt hang about but I really wanted to get out for some more riding, I was so frustrated with being stuck behind so many cars on the way over.
I think waiting till after rush hour would be a much better idea. I've never been along the shaldon coast road before, I've heard its good though. Hopefully I'll bring one of my mates from Totnes next week (he rides an FZR400).

Some of your overtakes on the Totnes road were a bit hairy

I suppose I cant really talk about those

.

On the way back some guy in a skyline decided that he wanted to try and force me off the road on a corner

he came along side me in paignton while I was cornering! I was lucky enough to be able to accelerate ahead of him before I came to any harm. I wonder why chavs hate motorbikes so much?

Did you think

must have been the angles, there was always more than enough for me, and I always pull over to the left once past in case a follower needs some room

Sure you mean me ? Dan was behind me most of the way

I'm pretty sure it was you, I am thinking of when we were in the 40mph zone, but was concentrating more on the cars than anything, so it could have been Dan.
