South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

It will be raining but not peeing down so 99% certainty. See you there Duncan

Tweaked the route as Pips cafe will be shut so second coffee stop will be at the Vulunteer in Seavington St Michael.
Guestimate:-
West Bay, 10.30-11.15
Volunteer, 12.30-13.15 - that could be a longer meal stop if peeps want
Then The Bluebell at Willand will likely be closed when we get there so finish at jcn 27 services and laugh at their fuel prices.

Well I need to bow out primarily as the bike is still with the BMW garage having a service but as I notice there are weather warnings issued for tomorrow, less then 10 deg, wind and rain think I would have given it a miss anyway.

Enjoy guys catch you next time

Stormy weather should have abated so, as it stands, ride still on.

ONLY IF I have it wrong and the weather is absolutely foul in the morning then I will call it off.

so please check here in the morning before setting off.

By absolutely foul I mean sub zero and/or torrential precipitation and/or winds over 40mph...

The forecasts from the Met' Office and the BBC are different in that the Met' say wet stuff on the Blackdowns and East Devon, drier elswhere; Aunty Beeb predicts it being drier all round. So I'm going with Aunty and will be at Smiley's for 0915-ish.
If it's wet, well, it's only water, and anyway, I've got new waterproof boots and gloves to break in - and I'm of the firm opinion that you never learn anything by staying indoors, wrapping yourself in cotton wool and peeping out from behind the sofa.

Sorry not going to make it fell back to sleep after checking weather earlier have a good ride. Catch you all next time.

Great day, thanks Brian for organising and everyone else for the company. Great ride as weather mostly fine. Every day is a school day so a special mention to Roy for teaching us all the relative merits and values of urine.,'m not taking the piss!!!

Thanks Brian, good ride today good to see all the usual peps for this time of year , bikes all clean and tucked away again until the next one

Yep, wot both Phil The Younger and Alan said, big thanks to Brian for organising. A good day out was had and we're all wiser people c/o Roy's 'wee' revelations .

The weather people got it partly right, 'twer a bit damp in places to start with, but nothing much - it didn't even give my new w/p boots 'n gloves a workout. After the first 10 miles or so it was pretty much sun and dry roads all day, West Bay was at it's best, as was Roy's aforementioned golden sparkling insights; and I'll say no more except you had to be there and, 'those that know, know' . . . . . . . .
I've a coupla pic's to post later.

Nah, he and Brian saved that particulr delight until later, on the roadside and I didn't have me camera handy . Next time mind . . . . . . . .

Glad you guys had fun. Got the bike back from BMW now that I have paid the small mortgage for the service. Catch you guys next time.
