For day two of our Devon adventure, we packed up the Triumph Bonneville, panniers and a picnic basket and rode to the south coast. We had plans to visit Dartmouth and Salcombe, but everywhere was so stunning, we didn’t make it because we kept getting distracted!
We initially stopped off by a beautiful secluded spot on the River Avon- completely secluded and the clearest water possible. It was a completely unspoilt area and a great place to stop. I’ve included an exact location below.
After that, we headed for Slapton Sands and Torcross Beach (essentially the same place) and parked up in a car park on the beach (the A379). It’s a huge stretch of white shingle beach that stretches off into the distance with clear water.
It’s a brilliant day trip for motorcyclists and with the tiny country lanes, there’s no better mode of transport than on a motorbike!

I love your enthusiasm for life Freddie! This is what riding bikes was like when I first started biking in the mid 70’s. You didn’t need full leathers and superbikes to enjoy biking. I think people have been conditioned through advertising to believe they need the latest and best so it’s a breath of fresh air watching your adventures with Monika.😊

Yes indeed Chris, I remember that well with my mates, all on Brit Bikes. Back then though the bikers would usually ride in small groups, unlike F + M. Single bikers were mostly only ever seen doing the to and from work ride.

The great thing about your videos is that while they are, of course about motor cycles, they are also about the lifestyle that owning and riding a bike can bring, and this is what makes you both so watchable, together with your enthusiasm for everything you do, and, of course, Monica laughing at you occasionally from behind the camera.. Incidentally, a nerdy historical note about Slapton Sands: it looked beautiful in your film but it was the location of a major amphibious exercise in WW2 in preparation for D-Day. Sadly, there was a series of major cock-ups resulting in a heavy death toll of mainly American soldiers. The full story will certainly be on the web somewhere if you Google it. Where ever you go, there's history!
