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.

It's better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

Aww, thanks peeps, I had myself a pretty fab day today too! I know it wasnt the longest of routes to do, but hopefully gave you a few smiles ;) (Lee! dammit, forgot to remind you ((and everyone else!)) about the 'hump' past 7 bends ! :oops: ! Anyone else get airborne?????? lol =)) )

We had quite an assortment of bikes along today ~ an RC8 (Russ....deelish) 'skippers Husky (sounds lush mate) TWO old skool 'blades (niiiiiiice :wink: ) and even Bill on his Virago (get your post up about the Wells Classic run wont you? x)

Can I just say, I am so impressed with all of you guys that came along today :D Hope you all had fun!

Shall we do it again sometime? Different route? Longer run? Whaddya reckon? :D
