South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

A few of us are heading South To West Bay..we will be passing through Somerset and Dorset on the way down and picking up a few others as we go..if anybody wants to join us then your more than welcome..we estimate we will be passing Through Shepton Mallet on the A37 sometime around 11.30am

See you @ Shepton!

Have fun - I'm heading North - Barnstaple/Woolacombe direction as I've got to check out a bit of work up there - sun's out - happy days!

The sun was most definitely out - happy days indeed
Hope you had fun Kate

Was out for about 8 hours in the end as I had a couple of jobs to do in Hartland and Georgeham. First bit up to Torrington was good - as were hot chocolate & sausage map from the van there! But the sun went in later & the last leg home down the ND link road was very chilly - trying to learn not to stiffen up when I get cold!

This is where I've been today:

Good route - can't wait to do it on a bigger bike though...with heated grips...or on a hot day!!

Lots of bikes out & like the big signs on the A39 saying "Better weather = more bikes: check your mirrors"

How was West Bay?

Fair play to you

I take it that you were on the common at Torrington for your choc many there?

Hartland road is a blinder

Been out for a little tinkle myself

Yeah was at Torrington Common about 12.30 and there were about a dozen bikes altogether, but mostly in 2s & 3s. Spoke to a bloke from Shebbear & one from Hatherleigh... Saw a bunch of lads on sport bikes heading south sonewhere around Winkleigh & a group of chopper types near Barnstaple & quite a few bikes generally on my way round. Your route looks good too - used to work for the Exmoor Nat Park so know my way round up there..

Mine took me about 4hrs riding time on the 125!

Kate, sounds like you had a fab day! Thats a lovely route, if you ever want some company to go do it again, gimme a shout

Westbay was great, met up with some real nice peeps, sun was out and I got a blip down my fav road (Chesil Beach) blue blue sea to the left and curvy undulating road ahead, perfect

Good job we got out n about, weather today has been horrendous

We picked lucky with opting for the Sunday run..only downside was losing one of our number who had to turn back with mechanical probs..apart from that a quality day..good to meet you and Mr Smiler
