Yea, last time we didn't lose anyone, at one point it broke into 2 groups for a short time. But common sense normally prevails.

We will stop off for petrol at least halfway where we can chill for 30 minutes allowing anybody lost time to catch up.

The part on that vid that stuck out most for me was the fill up even if only half full.

Many times mates of mine when I used to ride in groups wouldn't bother filling up if they had half a tank. This slowly resulted in multiple fuel stops for the entire group. If everyone is full, everyone can achieve the same distance if it's reasonable. Typically, if you need fuel, just signal someone and they can normally signal ahead and so on so the leader knows to stop for fuel.

Yep, 100% agree. Being half full can be a right ballbreaker for slowing things down. Just hope i can make it half way way even with a full tank lol. As Agnes will know, a 1098s "making progress" is not that well noted for lack of fuel consumption :D
 
Put me down for a 'provisional' yes :cool: (Have my daughter at weekends, need to sort out with her which ones)

I'll be on my GSXR1000

Me too!!! Starting to rack up the goodies for the trip as well. Just slapped down far too much money on a full Termignoni system, including racing ECU, race air filter and comically a removable baffle... £1,500 :( Most I've ever spent on a 'upgrade' for a bike. But finding a second hand one is just impossible. BUT, it's from the original bike budget as I put aside enough to buy a new Panigale 1199 or new Multistrada 1200S.

Also, my girlfriend will hopefully be fully kitted out so she can join, also a GPS unit which will no doubt be handy :)

Excited! And the days are getting longer, which is a relief.

Nice! love the sound of ducs with open cans.

Does the Multi have a dry or wet clutch?
 
Sat Nav ordered :D Hopefully the 'windy roads' option will shine when we get closer to the shore.

Excited!

If I can save the pennies, I'll be splurging on an Arrow 3-1 for the Speed triple :)

I was going to ***** £1,500 on a full termi system, but I need to save this year. So won't happen. I'm happy with the standard for now. I might divulge in a full SC Project system, but who knows.
