Just to say thanks for organising and running the ride Si can't believe a ride out December as was very doable and a good turn out.

Thanks all and Merry Christmas.

You wanted to say thank you for a great ride out, and meeting new faces and Simon excellent route was a bright day until hitting M5 to Exeter bloody Fog
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone

Thank you Simon. Completed my first ride out and made it back in one piece. Sorry if I held anyone up. Nice to meet some nice people today. seasons greetings all

Rideout was good, Would like to do this one in the summer.

If I had finished tinkering in time then I would have met up. Sounds like you had fun

Quick stop in Barnstaple to warm up

Ripped the thing apart, taking half the bike apart I the process, rewired it and rode home with no issues

Amazing what you can find out on google and with the aid of some paper clips lmao.

Which begs the question, why bother with an alarm? If you can do that at the roadside with no prior knowledge, imagine how quickly a thief can do it with preparation and planning .....

Looked like a good day I wish I could have made it
NEXT TIME

Yes but thats only because I knew what Brand and Model of alarm I had

And who's to say I had no prior knowledge of alarm systems

Glad everyone had a good time, was nice to get out and have a bimble on relatively quiet roads - I guess the chilly fog put them off.
Top job everyone for getting the JM system to work and using the TEC instead of the force.

Had an interesting ride back, got slower and slower on the motorway due to lack of grip on the throttle. Ended up only being able to do about 45 MPH by the time we got to Holden.

Interesting experience.
Arms well and truly taken to failure.

Thanks for a nice ride on Sunday I really enjoyed it even though the Bird was a bit heavy for the twisty bits
Hope I didn't hold you up to much. Thanks for making me fill welcome, Hope to see you all again soon
Couldn't comment before as bloody internet buggerd up.

more than welcome mike, not aware you held anyone up, besides it was a small group and the idea was to stick together.
