What a fantastic day and great to see a few new faces. Thanks Mike for an interesting rideout and to the rabble for showering me in mud.

You know who you are. Great vids Charlie and pictures Jon

My vid cam didn't work to well in reverse so here are two of the best and a few pictures.

Meeting up at Tavistock

Not quite sure where this was but it was just after crash (Jon) had a close encounter!!!!

First puncture of the day in Daves 450 KTM. A tube of slime cures everything?!?

Quick rest in a nookie hole !!!

A quick rest and a snack before the second leg.

 

Who's got the a front sprocket for another broken down KTM ?!?!?

So remind me just how many bikers does it take to change a sproket. Answers please!!!!!!

Just a couple more videos to watch still more to come

 Danny- water arround plug shouldnt be too much of an issue if your plug cap seal fits tight arround the plug.  I had conking out probs in very similar circumstances and always thought it was the carb. It still happened after re routing the carb breathers. Turned out that my over liberal use of a (wd40 style ) lubricant expanded the rubber plug cap seal and left it all baggy.  First peep of water and -stall!!!. The heat of the engine dried it after a while and it would start- In the meantime I would have drained the carb and thought that I had solved the problem!! Spent ages looking for how the water was getting into the carb and it was the plug cap all along!

 

cheers

Evening all

Here was the route for anyone interested.

 

A quick warm up up and down 201-030 and then off to peter tavy and  201- 055.(The surprising stoney climb)

Off to Lydford  201,006 201.099  (Puncture) up and down 191-100( Danno's demise) and 191-050 (had lunch and fuel top up )). 201-060 , to lewtrenchard 201-002 and then up 201-007.

to chillaton 201,092 and 201,011.  A quick detour off to meadwell for 201,010 and then to Charlies favourite walk-201 014.

Up and down 201,012 and on to 201,016.  After that to Sydenham Damerel 201,020  201,024  201,025  and 201,029. 

to Chipshop and then left down 201,033.  On to the Harvest home and 201,034  and 201,035 (yes- the one with the now very washed out step - ouch).

From there to the Bere peninsula- 201,063,  201,042 and 201,043.  Along the estuary 201,070  201,071  201,072. A quick return along 201,046(tide coming in) then down and up 201,044.

We left out 201,041- went back up 201,063  and down 201,037 into Tavi.

From there up 201,038 and then you Plymouth boys made your way home from there. I have a memory map route if anyone wants it.

Cheers
