HNY everyone.

Joking aside we did have a few memorable rides in Kent & Essex most of which were organised by Sc0tt. But since Sc0tt has stop riding no one else has picked up the batten and organised one which is a bit of a shame as we did have quite a good social calendar.

I organised a couple of ride outs but after the off in Belgium I did question how I'd feel if someone seriously injured themselves on a ride I'd organised which to some extent has put me off organising another one.

So now that Sc0tt's hung up his leathers we need a new organiser.....

Sc0tt, not spoken in a whiloe, what happened to the bike?

The ride out in Belgium I went on was ace Andy, really enjoyed it. I'm thijnking of something similar this year, as a couple of friends have recently passed, although they are on 50bhp bikes, so I will take the new Monster and the OH as pillion.

I've done a few smaller trips out around areas I know, but outside local knowledge I am directionally challenged.

Andy's son bought it

I don't mind leading this again in the highly likely scenario that Sc0tt doesn't have a bike in time. ... and as long as it's dry else I'll bring my scooter!

As for pace, any time a UK group ride in South East goes over 5 people, the pace is seriously reduced. In the past these have been slow paced runs.

Tis true. Too many any it becomes a mobile road block.

The most memorable I had was just me and you and muchos wheelies

And to give it a real test don't forget to pull the brake and clutch levers in a few times....

Easy lads. I need to make sure i can lay flat on the tank first and tuck my head behind the screen.

Now working so I cannot attend.

Thank you for the offer Andy. Maybe next time.
