There were in excess of 24 bikes on our latest Sunday Jaunt (+ 1 straggler on a recently purchased Tiger 900). Great day out and great numbers. And thanks to Dave (Spanners) Harding for getting us through the winter!
As we have high hopes for good attendance for the summer rides also and there are many new members this year, its probably a good time to acquaint and re acquaint riders with the staggered / formation and ” importantly” DROP OFF system we operate whilst riding in groups.
So for everyone’s benefit and safety please read this page, or read it again and watch the short video in preparation so that we can all co-ordinate as a group, making the experience even more rewarding.
