    I should be able to do Godstone but I've never been there so will need the exact meet point to put in my phone/gps substitute.

    Lol, reckon the Oakdene is the best meet place for you, it's just off jnct 1 of the M26, M26 is i think jnct 3 of the M20. If it help Jimbo and I will be coming down bluebell hill, we could meet you in the shell garage heading towards maidstone? Depends which way you come, but from the m2 you have to pass the shell garage.

    Are we using a system of cornerman or anything, Lewis has offered to be tailgunner, as his will be the only white RSV4, and noticeable.

    Cornerman?

    We just tend to do a bit of a drop off, keep the guy behind in the your mirrors and if any turn off etc happen then the lead waits for the whole group to catch up so they can see where we are going.

    all else fails, just keep up!! ha ha

    aha i can keep up fine, more worried about my licence through the villages etc as i dont know the other riders style, if i get points, i lose my job, its that simple :)
    the cornerman/tailgunner system means that you dont have to keep up if everyone else is happy to speed through the lower limits, nationals and speeding i have no problem with :)

    *cough* not that i do or anything officer :D

    30 and 40 zones are exactly that, nationals are every man (or woman) for themselves, 50 is a bit of a grey area.... lol

    tbh with a big group, i tend to drop right down in lower limits to let the group close up again, have to play it by ear but it'll be fine...

    Fair enough, needed to ask :) I suppose if you don't run an actual system, you cant be held responsible for losing anyone, lol

    I am now tentative for this ride... Have to check why the coolant leaked out of my bike from reservoir area... Could be just the reservoir, but could be a busted or loose hose as well...

    Trying to get a service done on 27th, in which case I will be on the ride out, but just letting you guys and gals know...

    Yeah about this... I don't ride very high above limits... I certainly don't cross a ton on Motorways...

    A system would be good, cuz if I get lost, the only thing i can do is turn on my tom tom and go home, cuz I will have NO idea where to catch up to...

    Never run a "formal system" but its never an issue... didnt quite get what you meant by cornerman though?

    as long as every makes sure that the person behind sees where they are going then it should be simple enough... we will all bunch up and wait at major junctions etc..
