Hi 👋🏼

Post by Stewart_88 »

Hi everyone,

Sold my road and track bike when relocated to Torquay, bought a jet ski and it just didn't impress me. Sold the ski and got myself a k6 gsxr750.

Can't wait to get some euros booked in

I'm definitely up for rideouts and euro track days, I tend to work mornings though.

I've got a coffee van down by the marina in Torquay, If anyone on here happens to be in the area and fancy a coffee. Mention SWB and il give you discounted drinks ;)

What's your exact location - anywhere we can get near on a bike i.e. the Vaughan Road area?

The back of the pavilion, near the the benches next to the ramp that leads down from the marina car park.

You can ride through the car park, down the ramp, turn right and all line up next to the van. Make a good photo ;)

Got you on Google earth.
Nice location but not sure the powers-that-be would approve a bike or several riding through a 'No Motorcycles' (on the car park sign) area, and then down on to a pedestrians only footpath.

Cars and vans drive down here on a daily basis which is why a ramp leads down from the car park and a bollard has been removed.

I know the harbour master so will speak to him.
