Hello,

Looking at getting a group together for rideouts, so if you're up for it put your name down!

Thanks

[crowther7689]

I've only ever ridden solo, and only had a proper bike for 6 months, so no idea if I'd keep up, but if you don't mind being slowed down (maybe), then count me in.

[forest1183]

That's cool, it's not a race. PM sent!

[KD79]

i would say that you would be faster than me

Don't worry about speed or trying to impress anyone on a group ride.

You will be surprised how many people have the same fears that hold them back from meeting up and going on a group ride.

I do group rides from 125s through the range of bikes. Its great to ride together and have a chat over a cuppa and a buttie afterwards.

The two easiest ways i find to keep a group together safe are

1, Keep the rider behind you in your mirror that way you will ride at a constant speed, If one slows down the rest will.

2, If someone wants to have a blast and shoot off ahead he/she has a blast and will wait at the next junction to rejoin the group

Have a great day lads and post some pics afterwards.

Hope this isn't too late to be a bump (varies on each forums) but I'm VERY interested in meeting with new riders!

One of the sole reasons I joined, hope to hear back soon!

[forest1183]

Cool. Might be out Wednesday night if you're interested, going to the great Bentley meet again. Weather forecast is clear at the moment!

[Sam92]

That sounds good, I'd be up for trying that

[forest1183]

Going to be at the bp Martlesham garage at 6pm. Another guy should be there too, so that's 3 of us so far...

[Sam92]

I'll be there. I'll go straight after work, I'll either be early or on time - can never judge the roads at rush hour!

[forest1183]

Nice one. PM sent.

[KD79]

Roll on 4th August 2012 as this when my restriction is up and I definately intend to get a big bike so I can join you all!

Don't worry about the restriction mate! my bike is still restricted, barely started actually 23 months to go!

We're meeting this wednesday - the more the merrier

I am guessing you have only passed your test recently so congrats.

For the ride out you lads are going on my 125cc ybr will not be up to the speeds you lads will wanna go. i mean like at 70 on dual carriageways i would be stuck at 50ish. fat guy on 10bhp 125 = tractor speed - unless i get a tail wind then i may see 60+

If you do a local ride and don't mind riding at a slower pace then It would be great to meet you guys for a ride out!!

[forest1183]

Updated Route

Meet at 6:00pm, 6:15pm depart.

Thank you KD79!

It doesn't matter, I'm personally out for the ride and meeting new people - I'll stay up to your speed!

[forest1183]

125's are welcome! I won't leave anybody behind, it's just heading down to a bike meet really, not a thrash. The Police go bike hunting on this day so I'd advise against being silly or small number plates and the like. Someone I know got stopped and a £60 fine in Ipswich on the way to Great Bentley over a small number plate last week!

[KD79]

Thanks Guys!!

I will join you then.

See you tomorrow at 6 at the BP

[crowther7689]

Damn just saw this and too late to get out of work tomorrow night. Next time!

[forest1183]

D'oh! I have email alerts set up so my phone buzzes whenever there is a reply.

Well if for whatever reason work gets cancelled, you know where to find us! Do you still have that mini tank bag you were going to sell me by the way? I only want something to hold the phone so I can glance at the satnav, might have a go at making something.

[crowther7689]

Yeah, Bentley again next week? Will bring it with me if so.

[Sam92]

Weather is looking better than expected at the moment!

Filled up this morning, all ready to go

[KD79]

enjoyed the company and the ride tonight lads. was good fun
