i think 8:30 from Barnstaple would be better actually...

Up for it if weather's okay Leave 8.30 and meet up with Bambam at Granada just after 9.00 then...?

Just after 9.00 at Granada/Moto sounds good . Will confirm everything nearer the time . We can then all cruise down to N.A .

I'll be traveling from Sherborne, would be happy to meet you in Honiton at 8.30am, that would give us at least half an hour to get to the services at Exeter, I don't think you'll have to leave home at 6.30am- unless you're peddling?!!

Nothing wrong with a old VFR . I ride a 1982 CB900F Bol Dor . Its the ride that counts . A bikes a bike . Any grief just tell em to go away , works for me

I googled the route, & it gave me a tad over 2hrs. So i figured i'd allow myself some leeway, but then of course i forgot it accounts for the typical family cage averaging an approximate 35mph & staying within speed limits.

Ok so any particular spot in Honiton etc?

Just before the A35 joins the A30 Exeter bound, there is a right turn to a petrol station, if you google it and look in satellite view it's marked as the A35 which goes round to join A30 East bound, you can sort of make out the garage about 40 yards down on the right? Jon.

I agree nothing wrong with vfr's, its one of the bikes i want at some point. I got no problem with old bikes otherwise i wouldnt of bought them, but i bought the xj as a hack and keep the 400 for nice days with amount of money ive spent on it. If it ever gets finished that is.
I love cb's as well im looking at getting my dad a cb 250 or 400 cos hes always wanted one since he was my age.
