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.

Wimbleball, I used to race there back in the 1970's, a 250 cc Bultaco Pursang if I recall; when MotoX was called Scrambles and Wimbleball was called Haddon Hill.
And Nick - record MotoGP like everyone else, forget the DIY'ing and come on out to play :)):

Painting is a job for women because they're better at it. You'll only be in the way. Don't be selfish. Do Mrs Red a favour, jump on your bike and get out from under her feet for the day so she can get some work done. She'll thank you for it and there'll be a new kitchen and a lovely dinner waiting for you when you get home. :ymhug:

Sadly this will be too much for me as I'm still recovering from shoulder surgery......only started riding again a week or so back and as much as I would love to do this run again just nowhere near 'fit' enough for the mileage (may try MellowYellow's more local run and see how I get on) - maybe a rerun later in the year ptolemyx?.....please :D
Thanks for the headsup Jim :D

Top car park; that is the first bit of car park as you go in the service area. Can't miss me at least - the sad looking greybeard on a red/black Busa with a SWB hoodie over my leathers that also has the Fenris Racing logo on the back.

[Meet Exeter services to leave 10.15......Tiverton pick up 11.00 at Morrisons petrol station......

If they've got flip-up lids, hi-vis and clipboards they'll be IAM. Don't make that mistake you'll never get out of third gear.

A group of us were out that way with Smiler this time 2 yrs ago.

We ran into about a 1000 cyclists doing a european or national triathlon. ~x(

Weather's looking a bit shakey. I won't be looking for another wetting. Haven't dried out from last week yet.
See how it is on the day.

Only over 50% chance of rain for one hour, never gets much lower in Cornwall, rain only makes you shrivel slightly more than old age... :lol:
