And one guy got taken out at the junction on the Brixham Road near Gliddons garage. Looked like a blue Bandit or similar. Plenty of bikers riding like dicks and plenty of blind drivers.

Seems the relative calm of lockdown has ended.....

You could be right - I was more concerned with trying to avoid the twat in front of me who suddenly slowed to talk to the coppers

Just did a 30 min shake down ride and all seem ok with my SD, really nice to be out again.
Saw a few others bikers out there too, most probably commuting.

Out tomorrow afternoon for a proper ride and to meet a mate. We both have compatible intercoms so I shouldn't need to get too close.

Plenty of dickish behaviour out there so ride safe and be defensive and look out for drivers, riders, cyclists, pedestrians, kids and animals. Weekend will be pain full. Stay safe guys and keep it cool... B-) :-bd

I'd be watching out for tractors, bit of haymaking going on. And, they eat babies in Crediton.

Hoping to get out tomorrow if i can might head up to North Devon. just take it slow as on a friends bike and after the news today think the police might be keeping a special eye for motorbikes.
