    I will be very keen in a month or so - probably no point in posting this but I am really keen to get out on the road soon. Not sure if I am a newbie or not (wonder what the cut off is?). Anyhow I'm rambling now, will post a thread to get some people together in August

    If you feel confident enough to ride with others around you, I'd be happy to ride with you. I may not be the best rider in the world, but you can always learn something by watching others ride. I may even put the L plate back on for the ride

    Im no "bum" mate, im just lucky enough to be able to work 7am to 3.30 so I have lotsa spare time . . .

    Also I have never ridden in a group ride for long before, it freaks me out a little cause I feel like im slowing everyone down . . .
    Think I may need a little more experience riding on my own for awhile to be honest.

    Wouldn't worry bout "slowing others down". Go at your own pace and know your own limits. Its good to ride with someone else just so you can sorta see what they're doing on the road, but being surrounded by 10 big sportsbikes could be a bit intimidating

    aarrggh!

    Dude. You are on a GN250 and maybe thats not the ideal group ride weapon.

    Just set the meeting points and everyone waits. Never (EVER) seen anyone get grumpy waiting for a fellow rider yet. If you can get the time off come along.

    Cheers

    Cheers for the support guy's, but I think I'll spend a bit of time riding by myself and getting my confidence up before I consider a group ride.
