Warren, I think there should be about nine of us down for this one. Ps surely James is old enough to join us now, I am sure Ive seen him somewhere sat next to his new Busa.:supsmiley:
Sorry chaps but it's a bit of a way to travel from Nairobi, so I won't be attending this South West owners ride out.
I hope you all have a safe and fantastic ride, but how can you not on roads like that!
I will be thinking of you.
Found my way back on to the forum again
Hoping I can make it down for this one and that the bike will behave this time. Just trying to juggle the diary, accommodation and the finances.
Fingers crossed see you all there :niceone:

Had arranged the time off but have had another death today and am just so screwed up at the moment won't be going anywhere near the bike . Hope you guys have a great time and the weather Gods are kind to you.
Unfortunately I have to attend to other matters in my life at this time and as a result I will not be at the meet. Though I am very disappointed and that I am letting you all down, I feel these have higher priorities at the moment.
Dave Hobbs has very kindly agreed to take over the meet for Saturday and he will sort everything that needs to be so the meet runs smoothly.
I hope to be there next April, depending on the coming months.
Sorry you wont be there,hope you get things sorted,see you in April.
Bike is all loaded and ready to go,just waitin for my mate to turn up,see the rest o you guys Saturday!
Well as usual a good day but no Warren meant the weather God's didn't look favourably on us - it rained quite a bit but at least the fast section was dry.
Nice to see some new faces as well and well done Dave for taking over the run.
Thanks to all the riders who turned out on what at first looked to be a definitely dodgey day. But the effort was rewarded once everybody had got their waterproof gear sorted, and it turned out to be a reasonable day. A few short, hard showers but also a surprising amount of dry road. I don't know about the rest of you, but the only really sphincter puckering moment was caused by finding a wide spread of agricultural crap just after a fast, damp turn.
A couple of new machines made an appearance. Yoshikid had a new Triumph 800 triple which he is deeply in love with. Mark and Kim were on a glorious sounding Aprillia RSV4, which most of the rest of us are deeply in love with.
I think the staff at the Railway Inn were glad to see us because they had very few other customers. Just for a change we ate indoors.
The collection produced £34.50 which I have PayPal'd to Spankme.

Glad you guys had a good day........and there were no mishaps despite farmer Gile's best effort!
REALLY wanted to be there but it was hacking it down first thing and there was no way I'm brave enough to scrub in a brand new pair of tyres in the wet (only got my wheels back late Friday....refit finished Sat morning!!) so plan B I thought, meet at Blackmoor Gate...
Plan B.............scuppered more torrential thundery showers :disgust:
Pan C.............be at HG Taunton to form a one man welcome back committee. Looked promising for a while mid afternoon.....got my gear out, got changed and......
......it fcuking pissed down again! :disgust: :disgust: :disgust:
Dave we'll have to do our own mini SW Rideout before 5th October!
That was the cause of the weather problem. It seem that my soul does not have quite the same bargaining value as Warren's. Sorry guys
