Thanks speedy, Collin and all for today.
Unfortunately the stones took another scalp on the way back at Winkleigh holing the rad on the MV

(bl@@dy R1’s).
Fortunately nice chap living in the flat above the garage called Malcolm (cant get rid of them

) made me tea and we chatted and watched TV (which was nice).
RAC were very good, only had to wait 1½ for recovery truck.
Passed a serious accident (rider and pillion down) on way back, just before Newton St Cyres – Post this in separate thread.
So bikes back ½ stripped and cleaned (##cking flies and fairing stone chipped to ##ck) ready for repair.

What a great day!!!!
Thanks to Gaz Kwack...for the lead out a nice pace to warm up. Some of those bends from Tiv to Duster do tighten up!!
The blast over Porlock, was just brilliant. Thanks to Cheese Monkey (I think) for setting the pace. And then a nice ride back following Gazza R1 through Crediton....
SWB.......a great bunch of people. Thanks Speedy.
All in all a RESULT.........
