Bridge Motorcycles is your main meeting point for ride-outs in Exeter and Captain Jaspers in Plymouth, there won't be much going on at this time of the year though.

Correct. It's right down on the barbican, where the old fish market used to be.

Hey Harry I'm 22 just got my SV its not as young as yours thats for sure and only ridden it for about 100 miles thus far, still breaking her into some new Tires. I'm the otherside of Exeter closer to Dartmoor, I'd like to find other riders too can't wait for some decent weather though and going to take mine over Dartmoor as I know it like the back of my hands as its on my doorstep

I always enjoyed it in my Civic I actually can't wait to do it on my Bike in some decent weather. Though shes got a **** battery so I ride round with Jumper Cables atm getting the new one tomorrow which should hopefully give me the confidence to ride out and not have fears that I'd have to go where people are.

The road I love most is the B something something haha but its the main one that goes right through Dartmoor I'm at one end and Plymouths at the other.

Would have thought that if the bike is running then the battery wont cut it out as it'll be being charged.
Would that happen to be the road that goes through Two Bridges and Princetown?

Just looked it up on Google Maps and its the B3212 though I join onto it in Mortenhamstead as looking at it, it seems to come out of Exeter at the start. It does run past Two Bridges and Princetown.

My Battery doesn't run down while riding at all its starting her. Shes lovely riding just needs that jump to start. Unfortunately I got her from a Car Dealership who knew nothing about bike and its been sat around for 8 months with her Alarm on in a showroom no trickle charge and pretty sure its knackered the Battery. Hopefully its not the Alternator but will check that with the new battery when its fitted tomorrow in Newton Abbot. Hopefully good weather as I have to ride it there
