If Webike Japan can manufacture a set of fairing panels for the Triumph Sprint ST 1050 or Sprint GT 1050, the same as OE or a simplified set, they would have a steady stream of orders, guaranteed - the OE Triumph fairings weren't of the highest quality, were easily damaged and there's a dire shortag...

Yep, the Bell station it is - both bases covered .

Thanks Phil for a great ride, reasonably quiet roads great to see everyone, there was 10 of us or did we leave someone at the shell garage 😀 I left out invisible me, post now edited. ". . . . . . . . . . did we leave someone at the shell garage" - Shell garage? What Shell garage? Do you m...

Ten SWB-ers took part in today's rideout. Some were the usual suspects, some not so usual but thanks to all for braving the Blackdowns with me, some not for the first time :) . Big thanks to Alan for herding duties aka tec, much appreciated Alan :-bd . Hope the mystery cafe stop met with approval. F...

It's funny you always say no trackday attacks on every ride. I've seen you on track days and your road pace implies that track is too slow and there aren't nearly enough overtakes to be had. :)): It's a lie - it's a lie I say :shock: ! Proof of my public road bimbling will be demonstrated on the 12...

I'm going to pass... Met forecast temps min 30 degrees (and somewhat higher in the sun on the road). Precisely why we're having a reasonable start time, reasonable mileage, and keeping to the Blackdown's leafy lanes and B roads (mostly), Blackdown Hills temp' forecast as below 30 deg' until well af...

Do you mean the BP station Phil??? No, it's a Shell station now Phil, has been for quite a while - pic: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Sampford+Peverell,+Tiverton+EX16+7HD/@50.9165301,-3.3535993,3a,75y,237.1h,83.64t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sPLEJ6bkjbUOobQg3kANX1g!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-...

Interesting route there Herr P. I would up for doing that on another day as a single rideout.

2. We've stopped at Dunkeswell airfield many a time so any other brekky stop will definitely be a new one to me

In order - 1. Yep . . . . and . . .2. Nope, not Dunkeswell airfield.

I'm giving the long-distance ride to Seaton a miss this week, saving my tea and wads money for Sunday .

Anyone want to join Brian and me for another tour of the Blackdown Hills this Sunday? This will include a breakfast/brunch stop at a location not previously polluted by SWB - I think. It's not an ultra long rideout because the Blackdowns aren't ultra big; also, it's set to be another hot day and, fo...

Have fun, might see you en route as some VERY Grey Ones from the dark side have dragooned me into a Dorset ride with West Bay in mind as a coffee stop. That'll teach you to miss Seaton Bike night on Thursday, you might have stopped me from doing this!

Yep, a good turnout and a good time was had by all but SOMEONE was conspicuous by his absence !

Yep, I'll look in around 6.00-ish.
