Thanks

Leon

I haven't received anything either chris@3at1.co.za

All riders have now recieved coomunication.

a mail is been sent to each one showing who all is on the list and some more detail on the trip.

It really looks like it will be a lekker trip.

The ride group is now final. fixed and closed.

If Liezl/Andy did not confirm it with you on email, you are not on the ride.

To ensure we have a safe trip, we have a pre-departure briefing.

The object is to enjoy ourselves, but we do observe riding discipline.

My road rules:

· Consider all road-users, all the time

· Watch your wing mirrors all the time

· Ride in staggered formation and never directly behind another bike

· Bike # 2 always on the left as leader does weave R to L and back to count headlights in his mirror.

· On passes, ride in single file, never abreast and give yourself room to react to the bike in front’s antics.

· Watch your wing mirrors all the time

· If you cannot see the headlight of your buddy behind you slack off until you do. Stop if you are not being followed

· Never get behind the sweeper.

· Give way to faster cars or bikes when it is safe to do so.

· Do not push beyond your performance envelope, rather allow a bike crowding you to pass and get on.

· We will ride on tar at 120kph GPS speed and wait for slower riders as needed, no problem. Watch your wing mirrors all the time

· Watch out for the “Hun in the Sun” or the “Bogie” – That’s the spirited road bike coming up your exhaust at 210kph and screaming past.

· If you stop for a lekker photie, the sweeper will also stop and wait.

· Please inform me discreetly if you are on chronic (regular) medication or any medical information that may effect your health (Daibetes in particular)

· MOST Important, when you take a turn off the current road, wait for follower to acknowledge before pulling off, no matter how obvious it seems to you.

· The sweeper has to be very aware of the back-up bakkie.

· Do not leave the group unless so arranged with the leader and informed the sweeper.

· You may pass bikes to find ‘your slot’ but try stick to it.

· Please toot-toot and flash to let a bike in front know you are passing to avoid scaring them.

· Only pass a bike on the right hand side (your left side)

Watch your wing mirrors all the time

We ride through a few gates, lead rider will place a rock on the gate post if it was closed, so if you are sweeper and you see a rock on the post of a gate, please close it after the back-up has gone through.

Our adventurers are:

All have been given individual instructions.

We are getting ready,

My 1150GSA is going in for its 180 000km service on Thursday!

Please give your bikes a ride if you have not ridden recently to make sure it all works.

Please no dead battery's or blocked fuel filters.

I'm getting really all excited about the weekend.

See you there....

Andy,
