    Depends if you think you can keep a cool head. It's a good way to meet other bikers, but sometimes people get beyond of their ability when they're following the guy in front. This leads to panic and target fixation.

    From what I've heard the guy damaged his arm and rib cage. Pitty he wasn't wearing a jacket with armour and a back protector.

    Damn, just as summers starting too. I hope he heals quick! Was there still quite a bit of gravel around the edges?...

    I think the TSS guys are great but I didnt like the TSS ride. Didnt find it terribly social. A week later I was riding with VTWIN etc and was 10X more social.

    There was a bit of gravel around. Gotta watch that section of road. What's the road actually called? Maybe it's worth posting something about it.

    Take care!

    It's called Martinborough - Masterton RD

    Take it easy folks, the more people take out the road side ornaments the more the road side tax collectors will be visiting our nice backroads.

    Agree with you Bartman, the last off I saw on a TSS ride was caused by a combination of speed of the riders involved, trying to get to the front of the group and a greasy road..I know Stewart has been working hard on getting people to use their brains on the rides (not overtaking on blind corners, riding to the conditions etc)but I guess after he has the pre ride brief, some people put their helmets on and switch off their brains. Having said that I have always enjoyed the rides and must disagree with Skelstar...have alway found the people very social and the rides are well organised....I do hope that Stewart continues to put the time and effort into the rides and is not put off by people binning it...I just hope the rides don't end up like the road rides from a certain bike club that petered out through lack of interest...from riders not the organiser.

    To be fair, Im not very good at starting conversations so tend to rely on others. It just didnt happen I guess. Stew did organise the ride well. I understand he is concerned about the bins on the rides so far.
