I guess you are making these comments in a light hearted way ...

But please be carefull as there are quite a few newish riders making the effort to attend .. and you may be making them feel nervous ... lets all have a day that anyone can enjoy with no pressure !!

I vote this thread "most disturbing thread of the day"

I was in a hardware shop at lunchtime today and they are selling off all of their H&S signage.

I reckon the "DANGER" and "KEEP CLEAR" ones are relevant here.

There is always talk of people getting bored.

Just chill and enjoy the day, it's not often we get to ride with such a big group so be part of it!!

I can't see the point of going on a rideout and then not doing it because you want to show off! Thats just my thoughts though!

I am indeed, i will not see it as a GP race, that said i will overake if someone is slower and i feel safe to do so.

I am not the fastest out there i admit that there will be peeps faster than me as well, i just like to play now and then.

and anyone who has ridden with me knows i am not unsafe or dangerous at all. And if its wet ill be like a novice on a 125 me and my tyres do not like the wet at all!!

It must be the bike goading me on anyway LOL.

May join you if Kate goes pillion with someone else for a leg.

No problems doing that as long as I kept an eye on my mirrors to let the markers through so they could get back to the front.
Again, may do this if I find myself solo at any point.
