Can you give an idea the difference between medium and medium fast.






medium is faster than slower but not as fast as faster and not fastest.


where as fast is faster than the slow and medium but nowhere near as fast as the fastest.

the impression of speed is greater also the speedo is kmh so 100 is 60mph
as billinom8 said it all depends on conditions,experience,wellbeing,confidence in others the list is pretty long
best thing is start in a slower group and see how u feel and then progress to the next group if u feel comfortable.
if not stay put.no one will make u do anything that u don't feel happy with.

riding in a group can feel a bit intimidating but persevere and u will learn to enjoy it........and it does improve your riding. 8) 8) 8)

Thanks for the comments Bam Bam. They make sense, I realized that the speedo was in kmh^-1 but I was looking at the rev gauge where the guy uses most of the bike's power.

Sorry speedy, just needed group clarification which I have now.
Blue Sv650s Curvey - Now unrestricted but starting to find the suspension a problem.
Next bike: CBR600RR eventually.

I would like to open this also to Binnedmybike.com if everyone is happy with this :?: :?: The more the better.
I was thinking about this at work today. If we are gonna have other peeps coming, like you say the more the merryer, why not do it as a charity thing. Every one makes a voluntary donation, say a couple of quid a head, and we give it to a local charity eg disabled kiddies, air ambulance, bike paramedics. You get the idea.

Like I say compleatly voluntry and it's your ride Phil but thought I would suggest it. That way we can have a good day and maybe make someone elses, who is less fortunate the ourselves. :D

I know it wouldn't be loads but lets say it went to some disabled kids it could help towards a day out fro them.

I would suggest that it could go to CLIC as my little brother started chemo this week and the support they have and are providing is great

Have to agree Mike, but seeing as its a bike forum Maybe the Air Ambulance, as this would be there for any of us, god forbid anything did go wrong at any time.

I will start another thread, with a poll and name charities that it could be donated to.
