Due to the nature of my loyalty to the Pubs on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday nites... I will more than likely be on the same road- but much much later...

Have a good one peeps

I am try to decide if I'll come to this. I would love to help, but don't want ot scare the newbes off by have to many big bikes around. Awesome idea MR. Jobe Honda used to do evening rides when I was learning. Help me no end (was on a learners/restricted at the time).

You want a 1:1 ratio anyway ideally, so I dont see why you shouldnt...

This is not (as I understand it) for people who want to learn to ride fast, particularly, but for anyone who wants to learn anything about riding on the road. The ability to ride competently and safely, especially concerning lines on the road, often translates to the possibility for greater speed, but you don't have to.....

Yep, but i also think that MR will be on a certain bike to teach other larger bikes how to go fast as well.....

Man - this would be useful for me, but I'll be in Wellywood ... Hmmm - Another one some time?

Yep, you've got it mate!

P.S. people who want to go faster particularly will also be pointed in the right direction. Though trying to go faster shouldn't really be a step that you take on it's own. It should be a goal that you work towards by working on different aspects of your riding.

When you improve your riding in general, speed will come on it's own, like PT said.

Great stuff Motoracer, we need more of these rides

I'm happy to help out, but don't think I'll be giving any advise....how about I bring some sausages down in the boot of my CBR for the BBQ...they should weigh the back tyre down nicely

Come on people, suit up and bring your bike along to learn more about riding.

I hope the sausages smell OK after the trip down in your riding boot.

Kidding dude, yea I am sure Quasi will really appriciate the help.

just back from a trip south on SH22.

Hope it's not as hot this Sunday, had both wheels wandering sideways at times - felt like puddles of tar instead of a road

could do.. don't know 'how lost' I think I'm going to get (sounds stupid, huh?), but I have a feeling I won't be the only biker on the freeway going that way. Plus I think I know it (I gas up there, then back on the freeway, then the next turn off is Puke).. Coming all the way thru town and out again, I've gotta catch up with someone on the freeway at some stage.. I'm happy to meet with anyone on the way, if not just for the company.

but now theyre all talkin about goin fast n efferithig.. ium skared..
