    It was a good call T.I.E. No doubt about the decision being the right one. Some of us are experienced and some were newbies. The ride would have turned to shit had we kept going. It was a good pace apart from a few larger bikes inadvertantly egging people on. Hell I stayed with a busa through some twisties for a short time. Been riding for 16 years, aint nothing wrong with 250s, still learning all the time. Big ups to the organisers.

    and the rain well dam i got soaked. took ages to finally dry off. but i hate wearing the wet weather stuff. and the undies didn't dry off till i got home, and not from wetting myself either
    Hehe... you did look like you had a funny wet patch on ya jeans...

    But thanks for taking Tristan pillion for a bit... let me stretch the legs on the ZXR.... hehe

    That nasty shower was not nice to continue in, was a wise decision to turn back and we found some fun, dry roads in the end maybe next time i'll have my own 250 to ride!

    ....... you're to slow for a 250.... you need a 600 at least to make up for it

    Meh, didn't mean to egg anyone on so apologies if I caused any trouble. Was my first ride on the 600 so was keen to see what it could do, suprised myself as I got into it a lot sooner than I thought I would.

    SO............. you turned around and still rode in the rain?
    I take it that, it didnt stop raining once you turned around?
    Seems like the jean wearer's made the call cos it felt yukky..........
    Must have been scary doing a slow speed U turn on a wet road, well done.

    Was tossing up coming out on the zxr. Either way I think it would have been pretty much the same

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
