Tbh, once you get into the swing of it, you kinda get a feel for who's riding around you. The fact that there's a fair chance they'll be on an SV should be a fairly good hint too, mind...

The whole 'markers having to ride like stink through a pack of bikes that don't know where they're going' thing just reeks of a disaster waiting to happen (IMHO), and I'm glad we've never adopted this system up here.

Anyhoo - not long left now kids!

You thinking Tan Hill with me and insane risks in the rain?

Not picking an arguement but thats one i can think of

IMO a marker should wait for tec. But I don't really mind/care, just come for a jolly good ride!

I'm not thinking of anything or anyone in particular dude, genuinely.

Just that I've been on rides with both systems, both as a rider and hi-vizzer, and always feel more relaxed just waiting for a bit until the next guy arrives than having to keep one eye on my mirrors (even more so than usual) for the next poor sod having to make up the ground.

As far as I'm aware, we've done the GM runs this way since the first one, and it does work - honest!

i can "borrow" hi viz vests from work if needed.

just let me know how many are required.
