    Some body is always happy to tag along and ride at your pace, and make sure we all get there. One of the unwritten rules is nobody gets left behind.

    The ride is the Wednesday night cruise not the Wednesday night go ballistic and get killed ride. Usually the sports bikes get sent off ahead (Kind of like a mine sweeper for the rozza, but don't tell them.)

    If you let us know you don't want to go too fast I can always take my "Old Shitter" I can't go much faster than 80 on that. Somebody is always happy to stick at the back and make sure everybody gets there, so its no problem at all.

    Some do, some don't and some go some speed in the middle closer to 85 or 90.
    Just remember it's your money you're wasting if anything goes wrong and you get done for speeding.
    The chance of getting done may be low but can you afford it?

    When my partner and I went out while she was on an L plate we generally sat about 90 to be a bit closer to the speed of the other traffic which feels safer than the 70 in a 100km/hr zone. Round the bays or up the summit Rd it's not such an issue because 70 is still a nice speed for a lot of the cornering there.

    Oh I think I have done my duty as TEC over the years.

    If I bring the old shitter, which I am happy to do, I am going to have difficulty keeping up even with the learners. If its wet then its another story.

    The real reason is GP, you just look sooo good in my rear view mirrors! It's a Harley thing OK.

    Maybe you should change your name to Shepard?

    You be careful P or we might do the summit road with me leading.

    Can you imagine the reaction of the bigger sports riders following an old fart like me on my old banger?????

    ahh good point, the rides would be best to be a case by case basis. ie windy route = better for me, compared to a lot/more 100k straight roads for the route on that particular day.

    Hi GB. I'm usually tail end charlie and I havn't lost many of the "newbies" who fall into my care, one got lost briefly until Retroqueen roared at me and sent back to find him. It wastime for me after that. So make yourself known........... I'm the greyheaded old fart who rides the blue honda gb400. (Garry)

    If Saturday is nice why not come along to BK Moorehouse at 11.30 and join in. You will be most welcome.
