Updated details folks:

We're doing this in 3 legs. Ptolemyx leading leg 1, Robbo87 - leg 2, Red5 - leg 3. Around 150-ish miles - start Tiverton, finish Exeter.
TEC duties shared by the above, so no need for Roy to panic - or for you lot to panic because it's Roy :D .

START: 0900 hrs from Morrisons filling station Tiverton EX16 6SW. Fuelled up and ready to go please.

First leg: Finishing at Greedy's Snack Bar, Torrington EX38 8DL - coffee/p break (if the bog's open) around 1030 hrs.
Second leg: Finishing at either Loui's Cafe, Callington PL17 8AX or The Engine House, Callington PL17 8EA approx' 1230 hrs - NOTE: this will be a planned lunch break.
Third leg: Finishing at Bridge M/C's, Exeter EX2 8RG approx' 1445 hrs-ish - coffee and de-brief/tall story time.

With current Government socialy distancing guidelines in mind, we may, depending on numbers, have to split into groups.
As previously mentioned by Ptolemyx, and with the above in mind, we need to know who's up for this. Here's a list of riders based on previous posts - To add yours, just copy and paste the full list into the next 'quick reply' subject box and add your name; or delete it as appropriate.

IMPORTANT AMENDMENT - START PLACE AND TIME CHANGE.

Due to Brian's recent Busa/white-van interface, this will now be a two-legged rideout, starting and finishing in Exeter with a late brekkie/early lunch at approx' 11.30/12.00-ish. There's no need for flasks and/or sarnies, this'll be a cafe stop and they have plenty of room both inside and out - I know cos I've been there before and also phoned yesterday to check. We should finish in Exeter around 1.30 p.m.

I'll lead to the lunch stop, Red5'll lead from there back to Bridge M/C's. No drop-off system or TEC needed unless plenty more peeps list themselves on here - just keep each other in our mirrors, leaders to stop for an occasional re-group.

START: 10.00 a.m. at BRIDGE MOTORCYCLES, Alphinbrook Rd, Marsh Barton, EXETER EX2 8RG.

FYI, no damage to the Ptolemyx personage :) , same cannot be said for Busa :shock: .

Any more takers? Copy and paste the rider list to the next page, adding your name.

Replacement Busa is on it's way - unlikely to be with me for this one. As Phil says above I still seem to bounce reasonably well but the Busabarge didn't :evil:

I’m going on another magical mystery ride next weekend that’s being run by a local MCC club, what should I expect, will there be a hidden parcel with chocolate in it ?

Everybody has their own version, so who knows.

Take lube, chocolates and a white carnation if it's a majority Suzuki ownership.

Fozz, I'll have those earplugs along. Roy wants to try a pair for size if you can spare 'em.
