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.

Debating whether to make this, On the one hand there is a chance that something may happen to the bike and on the other it may not. Do I risk it? :-ss

when was the recall first identified? How many miles have you/the bike done in "ignorant bliss" since then? What is the failure mode - total collapse or premature wear? What number of bikes recalled have actually had the issue?

Bikes affected are05-09 models. I have done about 2k. The main reason for getting it sorted is because me and the missus are going away and I don't want the shock to collapse. My bike has over 40k on it and it appears to be a corrosion issue. As far as I can tell, the previous owner used it for commuting in all weathers. :roll:
