A GREAT DAY!

Who expected a turn out like that?

A brilliant ride guys, well i thought so as it was my first. Nice to put faces to name as well.

Looking forward to the next one.

I enjoyed it. Thanks for organising it and thanks to all who showed.

Well done guys, that was a great ride.
One hell of turn out given the time of the year, didnt expect to see that many...
Hope you all got back safe, sound and dry..

Yeay! Thanks for a brilliant day

Big respect to all who came out to brave the cold and damp roads..brr

Lovely to meet up again and meet some more SWBers

Also an apology as I may have personally single handedly managed to {cough} 'lose' some of you (apparently! ) I really do hope it didn't spoil your day and you all had fun!

Cheers

At least you are now accepting the responsibility.
on the up i quite enjoyed the second ride to crewkerne.

oooops sorry smiler the last post should hav come from me.
forgot that tamz had been having a look..

It was good seeing such a turnout on such a crappy day, especially some of the guys on the smaller bikes, it was good fun and excellent going through Taunton as pretty much one big group, sounded lovely at every set of lights and cars were moving out the way all the time . I had a close one on the way home from Exeter though, travelling back with bambam, he had just turned off and i was getting a bit cold so pushing on a bit like you do, when just outside Newton i decided to slow up a bit and tuck in behind an Escort for some reason and checked the mirrors to see a car in the outside lane closing on us, not a police car though so no worries as we were going a bit over 70, but the car went past us doing 90 plus and behind it was a patrol car who followed it at that speed to the pen inn then pulled him, so Thanks Mr Audi driver as it would have been a bollicking at least

Good turn out! I have asked Dave to change the name to South West Winter Bikers. SWWB for short.

I blame Bambam for the problems, infact for every problem, ever since the dawn of mankind. Cnut.

One thing I have learnt today... some nice roads have stupidly low speed limits! but I got good fuel consumption, 125miles to 14.5 litres of fuel, thats pretty good for a guzzling twin!

Thanks for a good ride ( apart for the housing estate visit! ) really had a good day today was good to put some faces to the names.

here are a few pics:

Thanks again for a good day out, hope you all got back ok? ( and for 1 hopefully in daylight! )

What a great ride out with such a friendly bunch of like minded souls!

Thanks to Kim for introducing me (from a distance) to everyone but I'm afarid that you will need to do that again as I can't remember eveyone's name (must be my age).

It was good to se so many out (it was my first one) as I only expected a few and what a good route.

Thanks to all and see you at the Xmas bash!

An excellent ride out today, I really enjoyed the ride and good meeting you guys.Nice to put faces to names. Can't wait for the next one.

Need to adust my clutch lever before that though as it was really stiff, hand rather painful hand by the time I got home!!!

awsome turn out today, was really impressed! and no hedges (a personal best for me )

some more pics to bore you all with
