I've never ridden in a group larger than 3 before, I'm interested in joining in on one of these for once but it looks like everyones got bigger bikes than me though

Hey Delusions I wouldnt panic about the size of your bike (not that size doesnt matterof course) we have a number of 250s turn up each week.

On the ATNR we have a leader, a tail end charlie, and pointers at all intersections we are turning off at so no worries about getting lost. We also have some issues with cops atending this ride in uniform and in patrol cars, so the speed limit is generally not exceded by more than a little bit.

Rock on up next week, make yourself knowen and come out for a ride

Bigger bikes dont mean better riders. Just take up more room, petrol, rubber(mmm rubber).

See you next time.

Delusionz, come for a ride dude, I thought It'd be weird riding with a group of bikes but it's good as! Same as on your own, if your feelin' it you can try to follow the faster guys and if your not there's no pressure and you can have a roll around and come back the next time to do it again! I have a 250 that'll be slower than yours for sure (but I try to urge it along a bit too ) so you won't get left behind. I go normally every 2nd week, was there last week, not this week, it's gotta be a pay week for me. I hadn't gone on the tail and last week there was mainly quicker guys so I decided it was time to pay my dues, there was a guy who was getting back into riding after 10 (?) years and he was getting the feel back so we just cruised along together, made me feel great to help someone have a good night out on 2 wheels.

It's no training session but don't get scared off, there's tons of great people and some nice roads, when it's dry I've been really diggin' these cool clear nights.

See ya soon a,
