Thanks, yes it was a real giggle👍

Well E.R, You've taken me down memory lane tonight! Bickleigh and the road through to Crediton (Kirton) is the area where i was born and grew up, hence my young years on a motorcycle were spent around that area. The small bike club got me thinking back to a beautiful little 50cc that i had, my second bike i think.... It was a Suzuki AS50, a little trailie style thing. I bought it brand new from Trethewey and Martin of Tiverton, just shy of 105 quid! Ive done a tax check and i see it's still on the road, I'd love to see/sit on it again.... STT 21H if anyone sees it! 🥰 Given the age demographic of the club, is there a paramedic bike complete with defibrillator and oxygen etc following in your wheeltracks? a friend of mine wanted to know......😝

I think of you everytime I'm passing there now Ken. I worked in Kirton for 5 years in my younger days, its changed a lot now but Bickleigh hasn't changed a lot and so it shouldnt....Still no one has taken over the Trout Inn yet, it looks quite run down now TBH. £105 for a brand new bike...hard to get your head round that now with todays prices.. hope your well Ken, it will soon be slosshy mud time!

@@exeterrider Yea, i had a little bimble around there a couple of weeks ago, as you say, the Trout looks sad now. Hard to think that back in the day the carpark would be rammed full, now look at it!. Ha! the little Suzi...... 104 pounds,19 shillings and sixpence! And i still had to have it on HP as i was only earning around 4-5 pounds a WEEK as an apprentice!! 😳😅 Yep, my season of the year is fast approaching........ You need to blag a test trailie soon! 😏

A bunch of busy bees buzzing around there, ER. I had a C50 in the early seventies which I used to commute on. I had no issues with it but, as one of your riding colleagues with the C90 said, the handling wasn't great and going round corners felt like you were riding on a trampolene. A unique and very interesting vid.

Its a strange set up on the front, it looks like it defines all common sense for what anyone would want on the front end. Those bikes are so tough, no electronics to mess around with.

Looks like great fun!

Looks like a great day out. I had two C50's back in the day. Early and late 70's. Came back from a 100 mile weekend ride out at max speed (38-ish) with a gale at my back on the later one and used pence of petrol. Had an RD LC 80 also, which was a lovely little bike. Indicated 70mph. Mad little thing. Got stolen and wrecked (though it was wrecked before I bought it for a few hundred quid). I had an LC125 after that, which was my favourite.

Pozdrowienia z Polski🇵🇱 dla ciebie i całej grupy. Jestem właścicielem DAX i w 2023 przejechałem nim razem z żoną 3000 km. Byłem w Francji i Hiszpanii . DAX to mały motocykl ale ma wielkie serce ❤💪💪💪 Filmy są na moim profilu.

Dziękuję bardzo za komentarz i dziękuję Bogu za tłumaczenie Google! zdecydowanie ułatwia życie. 3000 km to coś niesamowitego, dobra robota. Najwyraźniej kochasz swój rower i dlatego powinieneś. Dziękuję bardzo.

Great fun mate. I love little bikes and these little Honda 125s are more than adequate for getting out and having fun on two wheels, as ably demonstrated here 👍🏻🥰 Nice one Exmouth, surprised to see you riding around Exeter though. I guess it was peer pressure from that group of hooligans that lured you away from your tranquil coastal hometown. Take care Steve, hope all is well with you and your family 👍🏻 Gerry & Roby ❤

Thanks Dave, yes it was good to get away from the hooligans and their constant fighting and throwing RE badges around everywhere. I like to go to the big smoke every now and then. Lots of love to you and booby.

I love seeing the mighty DAX 🙂 I love that you use your horn in the tunnel instead of revving 🤣 I love seeing all you guys out and about whizzing around like you're kids. That old bike was fascinating, I love how it smoking is normal 😂 It seems so complicated to ride something like that 🤣 Only 3k mileage? That bike hasn't even been run in Great video, great riding, great bikes, what more can you ask for 🙂

I was on Saddlebags ride out with you a few years ago on my 125 but now got a Triumph Tiger and moved to the Lake District to be close to the highlands and the lakes for the views. But I miss Devon :(

ahh yes! Lexmoto, I remember you and you're name. Great to hear from you mate and you have moved on to bigger bikes etc. Shame you moved but stay in contact and you could always go to the SB rideout on the Tiger this year!

Well you guys picked the perfect bikes for those small lanes!! I'm sure it was a lot of fun with a big group of you as well. Do you ever feel intimidated when you take those small bikes on the main roads?

Nope they keep up with the traffic fine kode, most of the roads are 40 or 50 limits so it works out OK. They are fun but ss you can imagine, for me it's a second/third bike not an only bike🏍️🍻

Those Cubs are everywhere!👍
