No probs, Can meet you in Honiton as you ride through but cant be before 8am as the greandparents are coming up to sit with the kids cos I messed up childcare :oops: Let me know what time / where?
it looks like about 15minute ride away, so i'll give some leeway & shoot the pooh for awhile in Honiton say 0815ish.

i'll park on the main High street (A35) just past the New street turn off. stretch me legs abit.

Ditto, i can muster 120 on the main & 20 more when i switch to reserve.

I guess when we meet up & split into our groups we can agree on say 2-3(?) refuel stops.

Gawd aren,t you lucky. if i thrash my old RD,s i only get about 70 miles before they run on reserve, 80/90 if i take it easy, the honda 650 single is not much better but only has a small tank

The weather doesn't look that good for Sunday.

Will there be a summer ride out in the rain? To be honest riding in the rain is not fun and something I would not do!

It is not the bike rotting away but the travelling to get to the rideout!

I am in Oxford at the moment and I was going to come down for the rideout as I haven't met a lot of the guys here before. It is a long journey to come down for a rideout that maybe in the wet. Unless the forecast looks good by friday morning for sunday then I have to pull the plug on the rideout.
