What a day's ride today was! We all met at the clubhouse as usual with a couple extras today, Heisenberg brought a mate and we also had a friend of the club join us. After lubricating our insides with ice cold drinks from the fridge we set off towards Dameralls. When we arrived there had to be 20 bikes that had turned up to join us on our travels. The usual meet and greet, shaking hands and inspecting everyone's rides, when we saw the guest of honor on this glorious day.... a biker doggo! He was lapping up the attention everyone gave and wasn't shy about a photo or two. As there was so many people there we needed an extra person to block with Terminator. As our Sargent Phooey couldn't (missus was two up) it was discussed for him to lead. After lots of confusion over technology plus the fact that his internal satnav is directionally challenged, we gratefully accepted a volunteer to do the job so Pres could lead as normal. Time for our safety talk, just to make sure everyone is on the same page and be on the lookout for our blockers. A young lad showed up with minimal safety gear and laces hanging down his trainers so Phooey was straight over "tuck your laces in boy!" The last thing you want is getting one caught in your gear lever and nearly toppling over (I know this from experience).
We headed out towards Looe, the sun beaming down on us. On the dual carriageway a chap in a bmw decided it was a fantastic idea to blast up beside us and try to undertake with no real room to do so. What a d*ckhead. Our Sargent was on duty again, bridging the gap to save our Pres, and possibly the whole pack. Perhaps his last two braincells rubbed together and caught fire, leading to this light bulb of an idea. Who knows. Anyway, we stopped off at the garage as one of our Harley riders had a tank capacity of a milk bottle, a good time to rest for 10 minutes and refuel ourselves with more cold drinks. On we went again up through the twisting lanes we end up behind a lorry precariously navigating a very steep hill in a jerking motion. We wait with baited breath. Finally we're on the move again, seeing the glorious coastline in all it's beauty. What a road. Well except one thing, the mother of all corners unexpectedly jumped out at us catching a few of the pack out. No accidents though, that's the important thing. After the corner from hell it was easy riding, taking in the sights with one eye on the lookout for potholes. The missus in my intercom was screaming "Ooh my ass!" I couldn't decide if I was more amused or horny!
We arrived at the Devon and Cornwall pub for beer garden shade and yep, more refreshments. Obviously lots more attention for the star of the show, Boyce the dog pillion. With his little waistcoat, skid lid and goggles it certainly was a majestic sight. We finally headed back down to the Chequered Flag biker cafe, the herd thinning out as people got back to thier lives. There we got the dubious treat of Heizenberg flashing his stripper nipples and Terminator and Gem having go on the old ride on kids bike, as you do.
What a journey today was, it was great to see so many people joining us for the ride and everyone kept two wheels down which is the main thing. Also did I mention we made
SOME BLEDDY NOISE!!
