Hello from Cornwall. I live right on the border of Cornwall and Devon. I am retired now so can do more stuff i want to than when i had to please a boss. Born again airgun hunter with a liking of the outdoors. Been a biker all my life but dont get out as much as i would like on my bikes.

Hi Bigstan, welcome to the forum. Nice to hear from someone else in the south west.
What bikes do you ride bud?

Hi Ashley, thanks for the welcome. The bike i keep on the road all year round is my 1980 Moto Guzzi SP1000, 160,000 miles and still starts on the button. I also have a Triumph Trophy 1200 which hasnt been on the road for 6 years since a 130 mph emergency stop on the A30. I also have a Kawasaki GT550, it was supposed to be my winter hack but the Guzzi does all i need. I also have a Reliant based trike. Re: the Cornwall meet in April, how much walking is involved? i cant walk very far due to heart problems, but would like to come along for the experience. Cheers. stan.

Hey Stan. You have to walk from the fire to the cool box for a beer. Or to the loo every now and then. :)

Thanks for the info on the bikes, I'm new to bikes myself but I'm loving my Dad's old beaten up enfield indian, I don't drive it regular just at a couple of rally's.
Cornwall RV is very, very little walking Stan. Nice flat ground, car park, water & portaloos all in the woods. Would be great to see you there bud.

That's cool. My uncle across the road from me is the secretary of the St Mawgan Vintage Rally, hence this video...

Blimey, we have probably crossed paths at some rally or other. I usuallly take a gold Moto Guzzi. If that bloke on the old BSA is your relative, i know him. Just a thought, how do you fancy showing off your bushcraft skills at Launceston rally? I am sure i could arrange something. Stan.
