Cheers, I'm new to bikes so keen to go on local recommendations! They're tubed rims on the F800 apparently but it seems most tyres can be fitted with tubes anyway

Cheers for a great ride out, probably my best day on the bike so far. Great weather, fantastic roads (some more suited to the GS than others!) and a friendly bunch of people. Shame I didn't get round to taking any photos, will have to do better next time

See you guys at Tiverton tomorrow then

Can't make the meal tonight but up for a ride tomorrow, just let me know where I need to be and when!

Richard

Hoping to join you guys tomorrow if I can get out of work at a reasonable time...

Richard

Cheers all, hope to meet more of you soon!

Richard

Thanks for making me feel welcome and for a great day out, it's good to get some more miles in following others and getting a better idea of what these bikes are capable of. Will definitely be along to some more!

Richard

Seem to be having trouble getting posts approved and it won't let me use PMs yet so I'll aim to see you at Sainsburys when you mention Phil

Richard

Cheers guys, I wasn't expecting to get involved quite so soon but I'm free tomorrow so will come along! It won't let me reply to the PM as I'm a new user but I'll aim to meet you at Sainsburys when you mention Phil.

Got my bike licence last summer and now got an F800GS which I'm gradually getting the hang of. Looking to do some more bike related stuff this year to get out and explore the place and meet some like minded people. Is there much going on around Exeter?
