Ah, you made a mistake there- I joined the gang at the far side of Glencoe, you'd have had no trouble keeping up once I was there Seriously though, usually the rideouts attract a wide mix of riders. Dean and Drew always want to tear it up... And there were a fair few other speedfreaks on that particular ride Myself, I generally don't get much enjoyment from riding fast on unfamiliar roads, and I like to be able to have a bit of a look around as we go. I keep the silly stuff for roads I know, or short daft thrashes.

And like Blue Flame says, you did the right thing... And you're not the first to do it either. If I'd done that I'd have had one less crack in the fairings to fix
