Guy was doing OK till he was overtook and appeared to just try to hard to keep up. I have gone to one to many of these as an FLO just of late. sad.gif TO be honest though IMHO the hardest part of riding a motorcycle with another group is not stepping out of your own comfort zone. I have done it my self but luckily got away with it.
