...preparing for another spanking thread about people being paid to go on jollies in the name of charity
Personally I'd say a round the coast of Britain would be more of a challenge. Or the most northerly, easterly, westerly, southerly points of the mainland. Then again they're stuff I'd just want to do for myself anyhow (done round coast of Scotland - excellent trip). ____________________ ...and the whirlwind is in the thorn trees, it's hard for thee to kick against the pricks...

I'll consider it my charitable act for the day to restrict myself to saying: well, at least the clue is in the username. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

With the 1400, its basically a ride in an armchair.
Why not join the brethren and use a 125, more of a challenge |

firstly I already have the bike, secondly it means for the slow group we have at least one fast bike in case of emergency (although I don't know what emergency it could be) thirdly I means we have a large bike for marker duties and finally it's comfy and I love riding it. simples ____________________ previous: '02 honda nsr, '89 kawasaki zxr 750 h1

OK, I'ma a try to be constructive. Really.
#1 50cc peds are too small. 125s can hold a real minimum 40mph up hill and down dale, peds will struggle with half of that. With the best will in the world, there's no way I'd ride that slowly to stay with them.
#2 Failbook page is word salad. The current plan should be easily available right at the top, rather than searching through posts and replies.
Yes, I know it's under active discussion, but, IMO, people are more likely to get on board if you give a confident impression that it is going ahead. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Don't let the doornob hit you in the pussy on the way out?
Doubt it'll happen, to be honest (the ride, not the flounce). ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
