You are of course welcome along to any Southwestbikers rideout, however your bike must be in good mechanical order (we don’t want anything falling off of it including you), taxed and have a current MOT. You must have a valid motorcycle licence and current motor insurance. You are in charge of your motorcycle at all times and SWB will not accept any responsibility for actions you take or any accidents you may have. Always ride within your own capabilities and do not put others at risk. Remember, while you are on a Southwestbikers rideout you are representing the site and what it stands for.
Thank-you.

Don't forget......ANYONE can organise and run a rideout.

What bikes are you bringing please?

I'm torn between using my Vstrom 650 (for comfort) or my SD990 (for grins)...

Well I've only got the one bike, so it'll be my V-strom 1000. :)

yeh, I guess this is going to be an easy social ride so the strom is the better bike for that.
On the strom petrol stops aren't an issue either as tank range is huge... on the other hand the SD is, well... thirsty... :)):

Heads up! There is resurfacing work going on at Porlock. We might head out that way this afternoon to see how long it's going on for.

Hi all as the new elected ride leader can I have a show of hands on how many will turn up if it's raining as I don't want to be there on my own or with only two or three die hards I can call this accordingly on Saturday afternoon and or alter route depending on weather conditions hope this makes sense
