Yes please.
Any chance that new MT43 might turn up before then? I went out with Mike at the weekend and its getting more and more like a slick by the minute. Funny how they seem fine for ages then suddenly it all goes critical and the last bit wears away in seconds.

Hiya, sounds good to me if I'm welcome? Will it end up back in the same place?

How long is the ride as I've got no headlight at the moment?

If anyone needs a lift from HMS Raleigh area I've got room in my ambulance for 2 possibly 3 bikes and people as well as myself.

If its a finish elsewhere then I won't be able to make it tho as I am not up for riding on the A38 with the tyres I'm wearing at the moment.

Hi Pete

It will be finishing in the same place and usually about 4pm. What tyres are you running as knobblies would be a hindrance on this route?

Yes please Andy. Please factor in a regular fuel stop or two for me though!!!

If you do come Pete bring a pack of cards...we can have a game whilst lying on the rock..I'm spending a lot of time doing that, with my legs trapped under the bike, (Where's Jeff),   since I got the 400!!!. Bob

I would like to join the troop and i would be doing it on my road legal MX tyre. I've only ever done
that general area on MX so will not stop now.

Good meeting the last dark and stormy night, I did not even fall asleep.

Oh and I almost forgot to ask in all the anticipation of getting out on the bike again, is there a suitable place to leave a car or anyone else's conveyance at this meeting point? Thanks

Hi Chris, I am trailering up ( only a general purpose trailer but I've had 2 bikes on it before). You're welcome to join me if you have some ratchets ( or string). I may be taking  the Serow but that's not a problem for anyone else.biggrinbiggrinjust seen Jeff's post, so no probs Chris we're fixed and have room for Knightrider if he wants to come.

Thanks Jeff, I'll let you know when Chris gets back to me. Bob

Thanks Bob,

Not sure if I can make it yet but will let you know as soon as possible. I have a trailer that can fit two bikes also but is not ideal.

Jeff thanks for offer of the trailer that would be vey handy.

Chris

Fantastic ride out today, really enjoyed some of those lanes.

Nice to escape West Devon and East Cornwall for a change.

Special thanks to Andy for leading and getting me back in the nick of time before light ended play!

Chris
