South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

Now then Jim, try and keep your enthusiasm for the likes of A.I.M. etc. under control . I know someone who's got a sports bike, been on a D.A.M. course and still talks to the likes of us. He'll probably join us at the Eagle Tavern in fact; we'll be able to check if he's learned anything .

Is he on a 1200GS? It'll go better, tell him, if he stops putting red diesel in it.

Thought I'd put my name down for this? Anyhoo, I'll join you along the way somewhere...

I'll tag on if you want?

Seen all of the start points and the suggested route but could I ask what time (if at all) your planning to be done. Would like to join but need to negotiate the amount of time I get signed off in triplicate.

Now that is a piece of string question Rob. If we assume Larry's section will be 2 hours riding with a 1 hour lunch stop and 1.25 hours to get back to Tiverton or 1.5 hours to South Molton then we might finish in north Devon around 3.30. You might get back down to the tropical south coast about 4.30....or earlier......or later

I would get the slip signed for 5 Rob. Saves the m5 triple figure run.

Sun came out today so I recce'd the route also, thereby, scrubbing the new rear tyre. Had to make a couple of little changes but it seems good fun.

Must remind you lot that only 200 cigarettes (250 gm baccy) can be brought. Also 1 litre of spirits (to be given to the ride leader) and up to £400 in scones, cream and strawberry jam.

I'm in for this one - meet you at Cannards Well

Recce'd the route from Tivvy to Sheppun yesterday. Roads all clear, no roadworks/diversions Traffic was light, even for a sunny Saturday so managed to make good progress

P.S.

There will be cake involved as well ( ha ha !) but don't tell anyone.

Love it

Hi guys
I'm definitely in for this ride
it's going to be my first one

Quick questions
My lady would like to join me for this ride
Is it going to be friendly?
Is anyone taking pillion passenger?

See you Sunday
Jack

Classified as "brisk" on page 2. Take that as semi-spirited. Socially friendly but pace-wise we'll be making progress I should imagine.
