Dartmoor - Ride Out 31/05/24

Post by David. »

There is a good chance that Markus & I will be meeting up at Vertu BMW Motorrad Exeter on Friday 31st May 2024 and having a ride out through Dartmoor.

Should this happen (TBC), would anyone be interested in joining us for a brew and/or ride out.

Maybe not a "good" chance. Exeter currently shows 19% chance of rain at 1pm on the 31st...

Sounds like a good time was had by all!. 👍 Who attended from the forum? No one seems to be commenting other than yourself 🤷 are there any pictures? Everyone loves a photo!. Most importantly! Has Markus gone for the 1300 GS? 😁
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)

Markus has purchased a 2022 1250 GS. As his motorcycle wasn't available to collect when arranged, he rode a 1300 GS for the day and couldn't wait to give it back.
