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.

Thank-you.

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

I've managed to get interest from quite a few non-forum members for this so if anyone has any spare SWB business cards please bring them along to hand around to prospective members.

That was brilliant fun! Big thank you to Brian for leading and Phil for herding us from the end of the queue.

Nice to meet everyone, was cool to have so many bikes in the gang.

Looking forward to the next one!

Yes, big thanks to Brian for leading that nice ride, and to Phil for doing TEC all day.

Nice to see the usual suspects but also to meet so many new ones.
Hope to see you all again soon.

Yep, agreed about usual suspects Brian, Rich and Alan - good to see you lads! :-bd , also good to see SWB newbies Annabell and Chris; hope you enjoyed it and that we get to see you out on some more soon. Annabell, how do you make that 300 cc-and-a-bit bike go so well? Very impressive!

Big thanks to Brian for planning and leading, an excellent route as (nearly :)): ) always and two good cafe stops.

To the nine other riders (plus one intrepid lad who braved being pillion on a Fireblade for the day :80: ) who joined us for the day . . . . . . If you're reading this, thanks for coming along and seeing what a Southwest Bikers' rideout is all about. It was good to meet you, we enjoyed your company and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did. Please feel free to join us any time. Of course, you'll have to join the SWB forum to find that out - you'll be made very welcome if you do.

Here's a photo of you all at the Waterloo Cross start this morning:

I corralled them in from various Facebook biker sites - just put it about that there was a rideout going c/o Southwestbikers.com and that was the result.
