Hi Dave, welcome to swb.

That's quite a collection you've had. Some nice roads down your way too to use them on.

Rideout atm, as to be expected are off but going forward they will appear.

We don't stand on ceremony here so anyone can organise a run out so feel free, you never know who'll turn up to play.

Thanks, now that I have found you I'm sure it will be OK.

BTW any idea why the image in my signature is not showing ?

Thanks DAve

Welcome, some of my family are from Dartmouth, nice area. I quite often ride from Newton Abbot to Dartmouth/Slapton for a quick weekend blast. See you around.

Hi Dan

I might know them ? I'm a very leisurely, slow cruiser type now.

Welcome to SWB .
Yup, you'll like the 'Friendly' ridouts. Road heroics and Rossi wannabees not allowed, plenty of coffee, cake and pee stops, 125(ish) friendly, etc etc. Got the idea?

Dave Cawley · Post by **Dave Cawley** » Apr 9th, '20, 21:44

That sounds like me. Tea and cake is just fine. Looking forward to this.

Hi Dave welcome to SWB. Shame this dam Coronavirus is about as with this weather we would have a massive amount of ride outs, pub meets for Moto GP watching etc.

lets hope that we kick this before the summers gone.

Nice list of bikes you have had there.....

Thanks Robert

I don't have a good feeling about the Coronavirus at all. Life will never be the same again.

But can't wait to meet you all when it is finally over for the "friendly" ridouts !

The bikes, as you can see there was a 30 year gap, my return was because of the impending license changes that made it easy to get a full license, but only for a short while. In the 60's living in Redruth, we all had 250's or fast Jap 125's with L plates that fell off on the first ride, never to be replaced............
