Although I didn't go on this rideout, I have been on rideouts before with EAR and amongst others who went, Seggons. I haven't got any problems with any of the riders I have been with before. I am not the fastest or even the most confident rider amongst them. It is made clear at the start of each ride, that you ride your own ride to your own abilitities. There are 'incidents' occasionally, including my own pull ups where through my own lack of confidence, but didn't result in me going off the road. I go on rideouts with EAR, because I gain experience with my riding, and advice from more experienced riders. Personally, I have taken myself to a trackday at Silverstone, to gain more confidence with my weakness - cornering. After doing the trackday, and cornering at 60mph (while others more experienced were passing me), I felt much more confident. After reading your posts, kwh, I can only assume that you are a trainer or have taken advanced training and think you're a better rider than all of us because of it. Personally, if the only reason you came on this site was to have a go at another rider, then I'll be hitting the ignore button too. I have a great deal of time for the people on this site, as I have found it invaluable for information, especially when I had an SV. The fact I no longer have an SV, but still come on this site, is mainly due to the friendliness and support on here. I will continue to come on this site and attend rideouts with confidence in other riders.
