South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

Hey, all.

Been riding for almost a year now. Latecomer at 37 but I love it. I have a Suzuki GSX-8R and I’m out every opportunity I get.

Will be keeping my eyes peeled for any group events/rides. None of my mates ride so want to meet some likeminded people!

North Devon based but looking forward to making some longer trips. Going to ride around the South-West this summer sticking to the coastline so any advice is welcome for that route.

Thanks! Tom.

Hi there and welcome to swb. Proper newbie, only a year on 2 wheels, you're in the right region to learn the skills.

Don't forget to post up some pics of your bike.

There's a rideout tomorrow if you're about.


Jump on in and enjoy. Look in the rideout section, June 21st.

Hi there Tom and welcome to SWB.
Plenty of rideouts here, Ptolemyx (Brian) has organised one for tomorrow (Wednesday), see here for details and to put your name down so he has an idea who's turning up: https://www.southwestbikers.com/viewtopic.php?t=102672.
I can't make this one but am probably doing a rideout this Sunday 22nd. Check the 'Ride Outs' section here on the forum for details of that, they'll be posted up by p.m. Thursday or maybe Friday.

Hiya. If you don't have that work nonsense to do tomorrow you're welcome to join the ride out

Glad Phil said maybe going out Sunday cos Saturday I'll be at Smeatharpe aka "Dakota Raceway" for some drag strip action. Pity it's down from quarter mile to eighth - at least that saves some petrol

Hi Welcome to the forum, look forward to catching up on a ride some time soon.
