Forum rules
You are of course welcome along to any Southwestbikers rideout, however your bike must be in good mechanical order (we don’t want anything falling off of it including you), taxed and have a current MOT. You must have a valid motorcycle licence and current motor insurance. You are in charge of your motorcycle at all times and SWB will not accept any responsibility for actions you take or any accidents you may have. Always ride within your own capabilities and do not put others at risk. Remember, while you are on a Southwestbikers rideout you are representing the site and what it stands for.
Thank-you.

Don't forget......ANYONE can organise and run a rideout.

Will have to follow somebody to the start point as I'm destined to get lost if I don't!

I can't multitask..as a matter of fact noone can. Some are good at switching fast but not me. Therefore I cannot ride, listen, understand, look and act at the same time. So trying to follow "Google map" while riding is pointless in my case. I have seen Tiverton on the map and all I can do is to try learn prior the ride a simple points I will need to look out to get there.... :-ss

That's all you need to do. Consult Google (or paper map). Plot route. Make note of key junctures with pen and paper. Memorise. Stuff paper in pocket of leathers. Shove on lid and depart. If necessary pull over and consult piece of paper. Arrive on time and unflustered.
People have traversed the planet by this method. It will get you to Tiverton. :-B
