I never even joined one. BritprickUSA would have been right at home!!! SV forum is good, try model specific, just not any gixxer one. Supposed to be a good bandit one, not sure which, but could find out.
There was a notice on the crew room door in the Ryanair office in Valencia. It read something along the lines of "The best airline pilots are those who never put themselves in a position where they have to display their superior piloting skills." Ride-outs for me are just like that. It's not about trying to prove to my peers how fast I can be (because to be honest I am not!) So much as enjoying myself and perhaps learning a bit more from riders with vastly more experience than I - or even as in the video here, if it is learning how NOT to behave.
I’ll be taking it easy Ken, especially when I’m on some of the single track roads, although I don’t have a problem if someone fancies going slower or faster as I’ve printed out detailed daily route cards for everyone showing a map of the route and mileages for all suggested photo/coffee/lunch stops ..you can put them on your tank bag if you have one, or Sellotape it on your bike. Or just keep them as a souvenir!..less than 4 weeks to go
When our lot go out, we stop when leaving a road to wait for the rest to catch up. That way we know we don't have to keep up (but can if we want )
