yeah, but why have it on when under 25mph?

Could be useful when turning into a car park or petrol station to let the traffic approaching know that the group is not turning all that quickly.

Oh yeah sorry I didn't mean I'd be holding the group back

It just means that when I'm in a slow moving situation (Congestion, all of us trying to get into/out of a car park, or pulled up to assist a breakdown) I can set up the beacon =p

I do intend to be riding the white lines a lot or being stopped in strategic locations when the group is passing certain ...obstacles... to make sure other traffic gives us a clear run and a beacon will be handy especially as large groups of bikes tend to steal peoples attention

That and when traffic sees a large bike,black leathers, white lid, reflective jacket and a beacon people tend to give you a bit more leeway when holding routes open for bikes and don't like to cut you up so much , not that I'm suggesting that I'm going to try impersonate a traffic officer just that it has it's unintended benefits

*on that note I notice most of the London Police bikes are BMW's instead of the Pan Euros now?
Couldn't get the exact model due to de-badging

I appreciate the sentiment but don't forget this bloke. You don't want to turn out like him

Learn to ride with me. I'll teach you how to look like a c0ck AND ride a motorcycle without any safety gear bar a helmet......because that's what I am!

nice cardy though lol

What you all fail to realise is that it's actually a Kevlar Cardie with "skin effect" logo for humour

And GOD NO! I may be a geek but I have SOME style =p.
Besides I've only just reluctantly given in and started wearing the reflective vest at night or when raining due to my last off, I doubt I'll be striping my bike florescent any time soon =p

If the two bikes I saw on Monday are representative, they're R1200RT-P. It'll have come from the 1300 pan weave affair, if I recall.

I don't think a beacon is a good idea though... Motorists don't seem to have too much of a problem with ordinary riders blocking uncontrolled exits when they see that its 20 or more bikes, if you're reasonably nice about it.

can i come down and drink cos i hate bikes
