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.

Mmmm, I'll be up early anyway so I'll look again at the forecast in the morning. If it's dodging showers I don't mind so much.

EDIT: Its 4am and we have steady rain here at the moment. Yuk! If it stays like this I'll be staying here.

Smiler - i think you've got the wrong diner on the 303 ...... Route303 is the old Newcott Chef/Little Chef, halfway between the one you mentioned and the Corfe/Taunton road ;)

What a fab little rideout that was!

Cheers Andy, thanks for posting up the ride suggestion....yes it was a little moist (but didnt rain!) and yes the roads are less than perfect (its December afterall!!) but so good to get out ~ a bit of winter riding is a good thing, smooth polite revs and careful watch on things, I reckon sharpens your skills :D

Bluey is now filthy dirty....kinda matches his stubble and beer breath! =))
