unfortunatly some folk seem to take great joy in critisizing my lack of hoonin skill, I did pass my test in ྎ but have two young kids at home that depend on me coming home in one piece, that means im usually last in the pack. I tend to go pillion if some serious hoonin is on the cards, that way i dont feel guilty for holding folk up
Sorry folks, I obviously didn't explain very well, let me try again: Of course among most groups of riders there will be individuals with varying abilities. Hence an experienced back marker is stationed to ensure no-one gets left behind, and the leaders stop and wait at each significant junction to ensure those following see the way to go. Between turnings, they can 'hoon' if they wish? I've ridden with groups attempting to use the 'drop-off system', but that relies heavily on EVERY rider taking an equal responsibility and it often breaks down. However particularly on continental tours covering long distances whilst also avoiding 'motorways', it's hoped everyone has a reasonable level of capability and experience to navigate their way to the day's end if necessary, or buddy up with someone else for the full day? In any case, SatNavs are so cheap nowadays there's little excuse for touring unfamiliar roads without one?
the one an only time i used a sat nav was last weekend trying to get from preston to chop gate in the dark it took us the scenic route thru the dales 4!/2 hours!!!! from now on will stick to map directions stuck in my tank bag.
well in those days you just had to ride around the block for half an hour for £10 quid, surely you remember them days instead of the mortgage u have to take out now to pass the test
I vote for Kaycat. I feel confident that bikers from far and wide would risk fire, brimstone and anything else just to be in the presence of her spectacular events, (me too) xx
is this going of track, if you realy want to help get in touch with Mat. i know he,s busy and some times loose,s track so if you don,t get a reply then send a reminder, he is obviously looking for help now
Nowt wrong with a few lighthearted posts and a bit of humour. Indeed, a good sense of humor and the ability to laugh at oneself is a desirable characteristic in an official organiser . Ya can't please all of the people all of the time and those ya don't please WILL let you know about it in the forum after an event they personally thought could be done better. (remember all those delightful posts , from the top down , after kiss 3.
Ya plan things the best ya know how BUT ,,
IF YA F..K UP . Ya stand back up . Ya organise the next one.
