GTR Owners Meet 2016 June 3rd & 4th at the Belfry

I know some folk love this system and swear by it and others detest it. I've seen it done in such a way that it was a miracle that nobody got wiped out by a car as the riders positioned/exposed themselves at various junctions and roundabouts in such precarious positions. I've also seen it done in such a way that it was a joy to watch and really fluid.....when it works, it really works, when it doesn't, it can be quite hazardous.


Personally I find it disruptive to the ride as I like to keep going and flow without having to be mindful of where I am in a group and where I am likely to be required to stop. Just my personal opinion.


I'll go with the majority though, see what folk want to do.

As quite a few have sat navs, would it be worth trying to knock up a gpx file of the ride out in case anyone gets lost? I know that also has its problems, but might be a useful exercise to see what sat navs stay on track. Hope you all have fun everyone, I'll be away on my hols.

Well if its not used the ride can be too slow and boring, but I take your point. Been using it for the last 4 years on the FJR rideouts without problems with up to 38 bikes and like you say, when it works it works well............it depends on where the leader tells you to stop.

But I will go with the majority, and we will just have to pick a route without too many turnings and a destination point for sat nav...........I'm sure it will be fun either way

Take no notice of Charlies directions, if you head West I think you may find that you are going in the wrong direction for the U.K 

He has got a bad back ya know

I thought the way we rode out last year was fine. No sat navy's needed just a leader etc. Seemed to work well.
