Meets - on l plates?

[sharpenough23]

Just a quick one, when going to "bike meets/rides" are there many l platers that turn up?

Not that I have been too

You will see a few 125's, but there will be a very little amount of them in comparison to the amount of bigger bikes.
Why do you ask and which bike meet/ride is it?

Entirely depends on the venue and group. My local MCC is "125 friendly" but there are a few rolled eyeballs when someone rocks up on a Daelim 125 exclaiming "It's OK, it'll do 90, legit." One ride out, the single 125 rider's bike died and everybody else (self included) just abandoned him with visible relief the moment he said "I've got breakdown cove...". Poor show.

Problem is that if nobody on 125s goes, then nobody on 125s will feel welcome. If the meet says 125s are welcome, keep them honest.

I've been out on rides with a couple of people rather than actual meet ups. I plan to attend one in May and depending on test results, that could be on a 600 or a 125 - they're a good crowd though.

I think some wankers just forget they weren't born on a motorbike! Nodding, or lack of, is irritating too. Especially when the two bigger bikes in front of you get acknowledged. Anyone would think I was Hitler on a Repsol!

Sounds good!
I'll have to keep a check on what's going on locally.
