With Phil sadly now looking for a new bike I'll step up to the plate for group3. I've a test ride on the gen3 Busa Monday so will let you know about that as a possibility pal :mrgreen:
I'll ride the route up to Minehead at a "normal" brisk pace so if groups 1 & 2 have to wait for us so be it. I'll continue from Minehead still riding in a group of only six so will wait ten minutes after the rest have left. Hope that's okay Si?

right, there seems to be confusion of where we are going, how we're getting there and where we're stopping.

https://goo.gl/maps/PXA9CH7DpamXYjMr5


there is the text for the route.


https://goo.gl/maps/39JN7d2HqCaW7s269

That is the 'share' link from google

see wich one works.

if we can all stay on the same route then if someone gets into difficulty, breaks down etc, the more help we have to try to get it sorted, the better. I don't think there any ny gixxers on this run so we shouldn't need a rope to remove any from hedges. =)) although a box may be handy to collect the bits from any ktms or kawasakis that fall off.

starting point
EXETER McDONLALDS ON MARSH BARTON.

first stop
MINEHEAD SEA FRONT - usual bike park location

leaving are running along the coast road then heading To BARNSTAPLE.
ADVISED FUEL STOP AT TESCOS 9ON THE ROUTE MAP)

next stop
via the A377 to
TORRINGTON COMMON BURGER VAN

HEADING TO TAVISTOCK
splash and dash other side of okehamptokn -
LOCATION ON ROUTE MAP

TAVISTOCK to ASHBURTON across the moors(please be aware of the livestock)

ASHBURTON TO NEWTON McDONALDS
we will have traffic here so please keep your eyes on the other members of your group so that nobody gets lost.







There has been some concern over the rule of 6 etc with this fun day out.
Yes this is still in operation and i don't want a big heated debate about it please.

When we stop on these trips, THERE WILL BE OTHER PEOPLE THERE, I'm afraid i can't do anything about that,sorry. stranger danger!

We are still going to stop at these points, i for one cannot keep going without fue for me or my tractorl.

So long as you don't start coughing on people or asking them to lick you etcyou should be fine. Put on your mask, like you would if going shopping and just be sensible. it's not complicated.

if the powers that be see a group of 8-10 bikes on the road, who's to say they are together? do they pull over groups of cars on the random chance it's a party?

Myself and others have been to Greedys lately, there have been many people there, all in their areas, some masked, some not, some i wish had been wearing bigger masks :twisted: IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING PRACTICAL, SENSIBLE AND LOGICAL.

Where? Can't find that Road.

We're leaving exeter at 7 so make a guess.. we won't be stopping on the way through so you'll have to be ready to join in with the group as we pass.
