So if anyone would like to see their riding on camera to have a good look at their lines or see if there's anything they want to work on, let me know and i can sit behind you on the ride over through riverhead.

If i had a decent connection i would upload a sample to youtube (went through there on sat), but alas my connection is crap at the moment... Any volunteers to upload 330MB for me? :-p

Will try and make it on wed if anyone is interested

ahh man i want one of those!
you could borrow my connection! or just bug sly_gay he got the best connections here and he lives on the shore as well.
who knows maybe you could make a connection together! try to start converting the other side.

If I make it on wednesday reckon you could follow me for a while? After my crash (ages ago) I still feel like my tyres are going to slip out from under me with no warning. It'd be good to see how I'm riding and that I'm probably not leaning at all, might get my confidence back

Will indeed be stealing sly_gay's connection, might see if i can make a connection with his missus tho, she still wont spit that kid out! (Maybe if i make a connection between my boot and her gut?

)

Would suggest (if more than 1 is interested) we get 2 or three people lined up in front of me for a video session, and i can zip up the line and spread the love

I would love to be the person to be followed, for the past few rides I have been trying to follow and learn other people's line selection but something just isnt quite right, following someone like Toto is useless cuz he just disappears

(j/k)

Happy to have a go uploading the 330mb on youtube if you could bring it on a CD or something

Tell them you want to follow them so they wont take off then ...

Would people mind tho? It thought it would be a pain to slow someone down if they want to go a bit faster or are used to ride at a faster pace?

Your welcome to follow me, and I doubt anyone else would care. It's a training night. There's no award for arriving first.

Yes, my bike is very rideable. I'll be along tomorrow. I'm having a minor plastic weld done to one of my fairings today, but will be picking it up tomorrow to re-assemble for the ride.

like p.dath said, if you want to follow someone, you have to let them know, coz they can be doing all sorths of things which you shouldn't make your habbit. If you tell the person you would like to follow them, they will have it in mind and give the best possible example.
