Saul Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I went on a ride out today with Kernow Crew that started at Damerells. Then we followed the A39 coast road to Boscastle, then on to Bude then inland to Launceston to finish. Good well marshalled event that raised money for a good cause £5 per bike. I reckon there were about 100 bikes plus a few trikes. I enjoyed the experience but the last time I went on a big ride out I swore I never would again and that was about 20 years ago, so on those stats I won’t be going on another. Nice to look at the bikes but twat quota was high. One genius managed to drop his new Indian in the carpark disabling it by breaking off the clutch lever. Obviously not used to the extreme forward controls and couldn’t find the back brake and snatched the front. Down he went. Some really nice bikes there, lots of Harleys and Indians and some bikes I liked as well. I actually really liked this 1200 Sportster but the vibes had to be witnessed to be believed. Thought the motor was going to jump out of the frame. Nice Bulldog. Varadero, bloody monster sized bike. For Pete Beautiful Boscastle. First time I have been there since it was washed away in the early 2000’s Felt really different. Scuffed jugs. Nice Wank Panzer for Pedro Other randoms. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the term Wank Panzer is pretty funny to, one of Buckster better moments, sorry mate it is in the vocab now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 That's a very rare bike , DR650 SE engine in that machine ............. Amazing job they've done with Boscastle considering what a mess it was 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 Yes they have mate, I hardly recognised the place when we got there. Feels very different now as the heart of the village was washed away so it has been rebuilt. Sympathetically but still different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Nice one, Saul. I'm not averse to a well organised and sensible mass rideout, but inevitably you get the wannabes at a lot of them and it just spoils the vibe! Nice report and photos mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I enjoyed it but don't think big group rides are for me, 40 mph runs surrounded by fuck knows and their incredibly annoying pipes just not my thing. At on point I had someone in front of me on a Jap cruiser with open pipes, noisey tawt. Then I had somebody behind me on a new Trident with a tiny can that made it sound like farts. Why do that to a pretty nice bike I don't know. Can you tell it turned me into a grumpy old man 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fast riders, but some of those guys were so slow it was painful! The guy that ran the group was an absolute bell-end too. One of my mates got stiched up by him, so we didn't leave under the best of terms! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
