I was asked to put on a run for a couple of members of the West of England Motor Club and invited Trackman to join myself Jim and Neil. It was nearly the shortest run ever when white van man reversed into me a minute after leaving home. Luckily he heard our chorus of horns and shouting, stopped before any har...
After much deliberating, 3 of us decided to head to Salisbury for the organised charity ride. That said, the night before the other two jacked, not to be put off, I was at my mates yard at 06:45 nicking his trailer so I could still go! 2 hours later I arrived at the pub parking, with 15mins to spare before th...
Out on our weekly monday morning ride (9am at Cara's Diner on Greendale Business Park) today we found the above in the middle of extensive resurfacing with road scalpings. They are working from the Postlake Farm end (ie west to east) but its not clear how far they are going. We didn't see any signage at t...
I don't know how medically accurate this is but if you're on your own and it happens to you then I guess anything is better than nothing ....... Interesting read... Please pause for 2 minutes and read this: 1. Lets say its 7.25pm and youre going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the jo...
As Pete and others have set the run report bar very high recently, I thought I would have a go. After 34 years or riding, my wife Libby has finally decided to have a go at laning with me(I think she felt sorry for me now Grommett has gone to Uni). We recently purchased an XT225 and she already considers it 'he...
Afternoon all, I'm after recommendations for a small electrical job doing in Wonford/Bhl Exeter. I need a couple of night storage type heaters supplying and installing. It's for the kids charity I work for, so will need receipts and sensible quotes would be great. Anyone either available or point...
does anyone know of a good company or person for picking up a bike and delivering over a distance ? Reliability more important than cost -- Edited by Blueray on Saturday 11th of November 2017 05:43:13 PM
My Honda CRM 250 Mk1 was joined by a KMX 200 and a troika of Orange 300's two of which had travelled from Pastyland for the day. Trackman, Peter, Sparkie86 and Peters son at Sainsburys before the off. Blue lights flashing and siren wailing someone in a great hurry ran the red light and split our groupat t...

Hi Guys I want to go to the tar barrels this year, never been before. There is not a lot of information on the web site. Any local knowledge would be really useful along the lines of: where to park, where to watch from, what time is the main event, getting to and from the event (do they close all the roads?). T...
Great day out on the lanes with Simon Bell, Steve Piper, Shaun Batham, Nick Kelland and Geoff Kelly . Started at Ivybridge and up to Newton Abbot, were after a punture the three with half day passes had to leave us. We then continued to Bovey Tracy, Hennock, then to the famous Ruggadon lane and on to Ashco...
FredE, NickJ and Mattyboy were briefed to make sure the man behind knows where to turn and warned how to approach the perpendicular steps placed by the water board at the entrance to Conitor lane before we set off. The muddy patch on the dog leg after Stubbins cross has been tamed but not eradicated by re...
I want to get a shock transported from Exeter area to Gibbs Performance in Saltash. (And preferably back again a bit later after a rebuild!) Does anybody do this journey regularly who would be happy to earn some beer tokens in exchange for this service? Or even a TRF donation if preferred.
After dusting the cobwebs out of the gear last week, I managed to get a leave pass again for today, bloody awesome lanes at the moment! 3 of us left Raymonds hill and headed west, bypassing the washed out 193-012, we started by going up Doug's lane, aka 192-054, very different to last weekend, loads of st...
