**edit** Actually, ride past that offramp, look for a BP on the left hand side of the motorway, and aim for the gaggle of KB folk meeting there.

What time will you be meeting at the BP service centre area?? cheers.

Then you place the RIGHT foot onto the ground, beside your LEFT foot.

True........ bUTT if you are smart like me........ then you kick your sidestand down as you are about to stop.... so that your LEFT foot is already down
Lean the bike over and dismount the bike...................

LEFT foot down etc etc etc.

I'll probably be there early-ish

Looking about 0900-0930 to allow for a coffee, and that way not have 100 KB folk swiveling their head when the sewing machine on speed with the yellow finish comes buzzing down the road... lol
