Destination Bideford

[Saul]

Four of of us set out for a Sunday ride to Bideford up in North Devon.  
Martyn on his Guzzi T85, Gary on his ancient Bonniville 650, Steve on his Royal Enfield Meteor and me on my Hornet.   
 

First call of the day was to travel over to Bodmin, Camelford then Otterham Station to the Route 39 Cafe for breakfast.  
I parked next to some sort of Harley 

 

Got chatting to 3 chaps with these lovely old pensioner magnets.    Gary was in his element

Suitably fed with unhealthy fare we then headed up to Bude then onto Bideford and Kev’s Cafe, not really a cafe just an ex pat biker  and mate from Fowey.   He is also into old crap so again Gary was in his element.   Guess who organised the day

After more tea and tedious Brit Bike talk and we headed off again across the Torridge Bridge then turned inland and headed  across the Taw Valley to Crediton.
Had to stop so the E5 snobs could get their fill up

I just waited patiently while Gary indulged more of his pensioner groupies who had to stop and gush over his fossil 

Union Road Moto Velo.  Another cafe.   Proper hipster biker cafe but the staff were friendly enough and the coffee and cake was good.   

Lovely old GS750 with a period Yoshi pipe according to the owner.     I would love something like that, many hours of fun and fettling in that sort of thing for me.  


Moto Velo done we headed off to Mortenhampsted and onto Dartmoor from the North side.   
Breath takingly beautiful place.   We took the time to stop for an ice lolly amongst the ponies and Holibobs .    

Just for Marcy and his proclivities here are the Dogs Bollocks

Rode right across the moor to Tavistock then across the Tamar and back into Cornwall and the ride home.   
 

Trips stats for the day

Loud pipes save lives?

Dunno but watching what the fuck is going on does help.  Only near miss for us today was some GS Owner nearly taking Gary out misjudging the gap and the actual performance of his Wank Panzer.

Obviously @Pedro isn't like that, he just leaves an oil slick behind him.

Just to prove I was there and not the only one shit at photos

That's a good pic of you but why the long face, and how do you ride bikes with hooves?

Don't know who you took a pic of in the first two pics.... did you get his permission

Oh how would Sixy Baby put it, ‘Twat’ that’s the phrase

[Pedro]

Nice!
