South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

If the weather gods permit, there'll be a rideout on Sunday 9th. This one with a slight difference as am planning on meeting for brekky (or whatever) first, THEN the rideout.
Meet at the cafe venue near Exeter at 10.00 a.m. and, after filling faces, start from there. Route won't be too long or strenuous, mostly keeping to tried and trusted biker friendly roads.
Full details to follow.

Rideout details:
10.00 hrs - meet for breakfast at Cafe Earth in Bartletts Country Stores/Orchard Nurseries, Tedburn Road, Exeter EX4 2HD.
Route will be Tedburn St Mary, Okehampton, Torrington, Winkleigh, Crediton, Tiverton - about 80 miles.
Pace: Making progress while having a regard for prevailing road conditions.
Notes: (1) Please be fully fuelled up on arrival at Café Earth. (2) Might stop for coffee at Union Road M/C's in Crediton if all agree, otherwise it's where we finish at Morrisons in Tivvy. (3) The rideout's weather dependant of course so keep checking back.

Ah this sounds good! I’ll be there, gods willing.

if its not icy then i'll come along

If the forecasts are well wrong yep .....otherwise no

Hopefully see you there.

Fingies crossed no snow on the higher ground round here overnight and not too heavy a frost Itching to get out on a new tyre with some tread on it....


....whilst wearing all the heated kit

Re the route Phil - I wouldn't go through Shobrooke and West Raddon from Crediton if I were you matey. Assume that's another Googleglitch

The weather's still looking o.k. chaps, so unless the sky falls in or the orange nutter across the pond makes it illegal overnight - or even if he does , TOMORROW'S RIDE IS ON AS LISTED . See you all at Café Earth for brekky at around 1000 hrs. Check here before setting off though.

Re' the Google Maps hiatus: ta for the heads up Brian, now sorted.

Brilliant, see you in the morning Phill...

Me: Simon, how do I tell if my tires are too worn?
Simon: There are these wear indicator thingys in the treads.
Me: I don't see any wear indicators, or any tread for that matter.
Simon: ...

Gonna have to dip out of this one, as my rear tire is pretty much worn down to the metal. Phil is going to sort me out with some new Road 5's, so I will be back on the bike soon and ready to enjoy my premium suspension setup that Simon dialled in today. Hope the weather holds and you all have a blast tomorrow!

not gonna make it guys hopefully next time

Great ride guys sorry I turned off Torrington hope you all got back safe.

Nice one Phil

Next one soon folks......I'll sort something out towards the end of the month

Thanks phil for a great ride out and a new breakfast stop.

Forgot to say thanks to great mates Nick and Phil for helping me with my blocked bank card. I owe you guys
