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.

What a beautiful day, we must have pleased the Gods. Well done Gavin for taking on the roll of chief photographer, some good photos. Well done for some very restrained riding, sorry for not kerbing my enthusiasm sufficiently all the time, the wicked bike made me do it. Collin and brakes, or lack off seems to be a common theme through these posts. I'm a little concerned how far you managed to travel before noticing it was missing! Will that be covered under warranty? I hope you get it fixed, sorted and back on the road soon.
Jordan I did my Direct Access 4 years ago with thinkmotorcycle.co.uk on Marsh Barton. They charged me £526 for 5 days training, 6 including test day, and £54 for the test, guaranteed pass meaning they would pay for up to 3 tests if you failed the first 2. I did a block week but you could probably get away with one day a week for 3 weeks, and as you have your own bike, practice what they teach you between sessions. I'm not particularly plugging them, they were OK, but I expect they all are.
Andy 075544 32993, Honda [b]CB500S[/b]. (don't laugh it's faster than my old CG125 :-)) Dropped once, got crash bungs now. I don't suffer from 'insanity', I enjoy every minute of it!

A big thanks Si for another brilliantly organised day and route.......the coffee at torrington was appreciated. The pub and grub at Bude was great. Nice to see some familiar faces and good to learn a few more names.
Gavin.......the pics are as usual, a welcome reminder of a great day.
