Best thing to do Mister Stu, in my opinion is to say "I am doing a ride out on this date, on this route, at this time and meeting at this place and if ya'll wanna join me, I'll see you there.

Otherwise, if you try and make a date, time and place to suit everyone, you might end up driving yourself crazy :P

Note: I've been on a few ride-outs on my own using this method though, but I still got to ride out. :thumbup:

Exmoor has stunning scenery but the road surfaces are crap, either broken up or the middle of the lanes have loads of dirt and gravel on them, a real shame as They used to be really good but the last few years the surfaces have got bad, A39 Atlantic highway is a good road and the surface is better, same for Hatherleigh, Okehampton, Tavistock way. In general Somerset roads surfaces worst, devon better, Cornwall better again. will leave it now for the OP to set the route, time, date etc :thumbup:

Nice one, would be good to meet some of you. look out for a silver Katana #34
Never been to Darley moor, is it a proper track, lol. I'll have to learn it quick as plenty of others know it well.


Sorry for the thread hijack.

Darley is one of the flat, old airfield perimeter road type tracks. I never raced there, but my mate did when he was on 125s and he never liked it much.
