South-West ride-out - Bank Hol Monday 5th May

**deano.b** · 27 Apr 08, 11:47 AM

Not sure if i've got to work yet David, but if i can get the day off and as you say it's not persisting down, then should be ok to come along.

Will let you know in a few days time, when my boss does the bank holiday rota.

OK. Wherever Mrs H and I go, Monday is not going to be at all fast. She has only just passed her test and needs to build experience on the twisties rather than the Motorways and A roads.

What pace am I expecting? Well lets just say that she will be on her Monster 620, and I will probably leave my SPS and SuperDuke at home and take my TTR250

Wouldn't you be taking whichever bike goes best with your new jacket?

Retro/Casual/Leather Jacket?

Cake in Hereford sounds great.

Also praying for a sunny (or at least not rainy) day.

PS I edited your response above.

Could go on the A38 to Bristol, then M5, then M48 across the bridge, and then where?
But I probably need to check with him indoors (or he could, sat next to me with another laptop also surfing Ducatisti, reply!).
