Adventure bike ride out? 24th or 27th?

Post by Busa Bro »

Anyone fancy a big adventure bikes ride?
I'm thinking Salisbury area.

But I'm in South Devon, on a 1190R , average off road rider.
Another time I would be looking for open flowing lanes it anyone knows where to head in Devon.

I would suggest joining the Devon TRF group forum (you don't need to be TRF member).

There was an Adventure bike ride out yesterday doing a loop around Dartmoor.
There were 2x 890's, 1x 1290, 5x T700's and a 701 - sounds like a proper big bike ride out.
1190 Adventure S, 990 Superduke, DRZ-400E - all the bases covered.

I haven’t got THE Africa Twin anymore … wrote it off in Alaska earlier this year in an argument with a bull Moose. The Moose won. He took my bike and my spleen :(

HOWEVER … I have got another Africa Twin to replace it. Exactly the same but with fewer miles on the clock … bought it online from my hospital bed the day after the accident ;-)
