    Hey.

    Was just wondering as a 50cc rider (for time being) who has/rides a smaller bike (50/125cc)

    just question so future rideout for the smaller not so quick bikes maybe?

    :) Darkzy

    You will be fine on any rideout as with the marker system you will never get left behind.

    As others have said, when the cornerman/second man drop off system is used then it's not an issue as everyone goes at the own pace and no one gets left behind.

    That said, I'm likely to do a few slower paced rides when I'm back on the bike next year - TimR from LondonBikers does them regularly and they are very well received so I think I'll do some myself (given I'm not a very fast rider... yet). :confused:

    Don`t worry about being slow mate. I`m not a fast rider by any stretch of the imagination, although I do have my moments. If we know you are coming on a ride, then we will make sure you`ll not be left behind.

    We are a fairly new forum, having only started in July this year but as we grow, I`m sure there will be more smaller capacity machines joining us.

    Good to know :)

    All depends on me getting my bike done.

    Will probably get it done and switch up either to a 125cc
    or maybe sell bike put money towards my restricted licence (33Bhp) i wouldn't riding for a while but at least its a permanent licence that in 2 years time means i can ride anything i want...

    so.

    Get it done mate. It's only going to get harder to pass the bike test so the sooner you can get it out the way the better. I did the A2 restricted licence as soon as i turn 17 the 2 years soon passes. And your spoilt for choice now, i met a lad the other day with a 675 Daytona with a 33bhp kit on it.

    I agree, the sooner you do it the easier it will be and the more years you can put under your belt having a full license!
