Learner friendly 250 ride,

Yep - the 150 2 strokes can certainly hold their own - in the twisties they make the heavier 250s look slow and unweildy - as with most things rider skill is what sorts us all out from each other.

My poor 250 has to carry twice the weight of the other 250s coz I'm an old fat git. No one will be in any danger of going too slow!

That was the vauge idea when I decided to do this run on a saturday, so yes the next one will most likely be on a sunday

Can we just get a hands up from those who are coming if you think you would most likely be the fast group or the slow group? (slow group is L plates and 70km'rs aka. Scenic group)

Hey Ben, Glad you can come

Yep i'm in for the 78km/h fast group but bear in mind if you go over 80 km/h i'll burst into tears.

So you mean the slow group?
Im just trying to figure out how many fast group riders we will have.

Toymachine and I will be in the scenic group

**Brett** · 22nd August 2006, 17:21

Hey man, I will be there bar unforseen circumstances, and I will be in the fast group.

Just think, you will get to enjoy Ben's 2 stroke perfume again that you liked so much

I'm not sure whether I should go in the slow group or the fast group, how fast is fast?

Well last time on the run home, certain people who will remain unnamed were doing upto and maybe even in excess of 140kph I estimate on the open road, however the road down is much more twisty.
Ideally, Fast is for those who are comfortable with their bike and the open road.
Neither are groups for Irresponsible lunatics, Both groups will be expected to ride responsibly and keep together with/(look out for) their own members
