John, this was doing the rounds about a month ago.
http://www.ducatisti.co.uk/forum/duc...need-read.html When I arrange any rideouts I always put this at the bottom, don't know if it would be a defence or not but would seem to take away any "reasoning" they have used!
REMEMBER - During all rideouts every rider is expected to act responsibly and is deemed to be in control of their bike at all times.
There is no reason for individuals to ride outside of their ability. There is no need to play "Catch-up". Prior to any rideout all those involved should be made aware of the route and destination. A system for junctions etc. should be used to ensure riders are not left behind or feel pressured in any way to ride in a fashion that they are not comfortable with."
