just a suggestion and happy for it to be thrown out as the system works well.
The front rider and the rear gunner can be changed at any time, and as many times as you like so long as you stop, gather everyone together and tell them who is taking over the positions :thumbup:
To be honest it's quite good to change it around a bit, it makes it fair and more enjoyable for everyone :thumbup:

For those not familiar with the second man drop off system :confused I will be putting a post about it on here very shortly.
It will also be explained to everyone before the ride out :Group Hug:
Please note the system is not designed to make the ride like a boring military procession, or a archive motorcycle club ride, It is far from that, it is there for people to enjoy their ride out to the full allowing everyone to ride at a pace they feel comfortable with, and maybe even stretch a bit further if they feel the need, but primarily it is there to try and keep people safe and avoid a rider getting lost and stranded on his own somewhere :(
Trust me it works, I've always been happy to use the system and I am usually riding in the progressive group with cheekyads on the back :D :D
Like what you do
Do what you like

Scroll back to page 4, routes are posted there.
saying that, last year we just ran away from the black clouds and still had an awesome time. Make sure Kev has your number so if anything changes we can keep in touch.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time
