Spotted - no monsters in the west country!

Me and Rog have just spent 3 days hooning around Devon and Cornwall, and in all that time we didn't see a single monster!

Where are you all? You have the most amazing roads down there as well....

1 in Bideford (been there for 5 years or so now M900 1997), another in Ilfracombe (red 620 - I carded it & owner on Monday last ) - and I know of one in Minehead (but thats in Zummerzet) - cos I chatted to the owner last Weds morning & mentioned the UKMOC, but he doesnt have t'internet.
There are some out there Sazza, but they dont seem to use the internet much - or if they do, they dont 'do' clubs

Ah, 3 towns we didn't visit!

I'm sure there are members down there. Just surprised that we didn't see any monsters at all, members or not. Mind you, we only saw other 2 Ducatis on the whole trip.

Two lone Dukes...

I'm in, er, Devon I think - the one next to Cornwall (it's a lovely place, I just get a bit hazy outside the m25) - saw three monnies and a guy carrying an ironing board on a 996...

My Monster was 'rescued' from Liskeard...

I think she wants to go back... I think I'll let her

You used to be able to do this in your user CP, by going into profile, but now you cant (whyssat Fatbloke?)
Best to send a PM to one of the Moderators to do this for you - maybe Benson can help?

I'm from the Westcountry and have an 02 800s.
There are quite a few decient roads around this way, twisty enough to make it great fun to own a monster, I have seen a few monsters around this way.

One of my favourite roads is the B3306 from Lands End to St Ives. Not the best condition road in the world, and a pain in holiday season, but the views out over the Atlantic and all the old ruined wheels houses make up for it. Then fish & chips at the end of the ride in St Ives.. Sorted

Must get back down to Cornwall, maybe Nessie is feeling homesick

We did that road on Saturday, but the sea mist had come in so we didn't get the lovely views! Great twisty road though.
