    Hi Raymo

    I think it would be a great team event, you live in the perfect spot mate for this sort of thing. Throw a stone from your house and you'll hit JOG !! .

    Re: Ironbutt Uk

    The group riding or convoy would be superb, but, it does raise a few awkward scenarios.

    1. Some riders slower/faster than others.
    2.Breakdowns/ puctures.
    3. Accidents(unfortunetly they do happen).

    It's usually best for all to set off together (photos etc) and then ride your own ride. You only have 24hrs to complete this and it could cause friction if any of the above happen and it Fu5k it up for the others.

    By all means team up with someone if you want, but set out the guidelines first. .

    If you want an XRV team event I would suggest "Boundry500" it's perfect.

    . yep, and it caused a lot of grief and spoiled the ride.
    I dont ride with him now.

    If you team up with someone make sure you both ride the same, can both do similar milage ( without complaining that your bum hurts/need a fag/wimping out) and not dependent on the other. It will make it easier and will spur you both on.

    Try and match up the bikes as well, fuel load is critical, you would'nt put a Vara (200+) with a CBR600 (150/160miles). buggers up your stops.

    .
    You lot are bonkers !.

    The route is what you get if you plot it on Microslag Autoroute. A9 /M74 /M6 /M5/ A30. That should come up at 874 miles. .

    Imagine the video for this .

    I'll be up for this.

    No set times either, seems like a FAB winter treat.
