    1) What speed you do is entirely up to you!

    2) Carry a cell phone on you and make sure you get the number of a few leaders in the group at briefing. That way if you get lost you can radio for help!!

    3)The fast guys wait at all the intersections, so don't worry about getting lost.

    4) The bigger/faster bikes will be filling up way before you do. If you're worried about it, just fill up each time they do.

    5) Chris got a GSX250.

    6) Don't be nervous, the idea of the ride is that you have fun and enjoy yourself.

    Wow this ride looks like it's going to be busy!

    I'm definately coming, but I'm not sure if I'll last the whole 300k's or if I'll only be there half the day or something. I'll have to wait and see what it's like/how tired I get.

    You're lucky getting 260 on a tank, I only get about 180 before I have to hit the reserve.

    Re saturday

    Just a reminder for you newer folks coming, ride will be on or or
    rain, you are welcome to come along as far as you feel comfortable, if this is your first long ride, just remember once you start feeling a little tired it may be time to go back. We will stop at all major intersections were there may be doubt as to which way to go. This allows everyone to ride at the pace they are happy with. Myself or another regular will ride back if anyone fails to show after a reasonable time.We will have a comprehnsive first aid kit with us, spare water, and a selection of tools(sorry no #8 fencing wire) plenty of that at the side of the road .We are hope to ride off around 09.00 hours from autobahn, however past rides have shown this is not normally possible, please try to be as close to on time as poss.

    I am working night shift Friday, so please don't ring my home if you need more info, tx on 021-21 35978, or I will check the site 2 night if work is not to busy. I will go straight from work to Autobahn in the am.

    Hope to see you all saturday morn.

    please sir... can I have some more speed sir?



    Yamaman, my high scores are fairly secure at the moment (can't seem to get close to them myself anymore either!) but I wouldn't mind grabbing a third trophy

    madduck, larger bikes definitely use more gas and almost always have less range, especially the sporty machines. and depending on how hard they get thrashed, they often need the extra time at the gas station (always a good place to wait for riders) to top up!

    I agree about the legal limit being sleep inducing in most places. My solution is to get onto open roads where you need to be really pushing the bike to encroach on 100kph

    have fun guys!
    ff, I'll see when I'm gonna be able to go for a ride with ya for comparitive purposes. you working sunday?

    Cool Sat ride

    Would it be in order for aged rider to tag along for a couple of hours.
