I don't get it either. People look at me like I'm crazy for taking my scooter on a 70-miles each way trip. Sure, it takes longer on the streets instead of the highway, but what the hell. That's what it's there for.

People who complain about the distance for group rides are basically saying that you aren't worth crossing town to ride with.

No, no! I didn't mean anyone specifically. Damn. Stupid words.

I'm just saying that if people aren't willing to ride 20-30 minutes to get to where you are, you aren't high on their list of priorities.

I have been known to drop EVERYTHING (work, wife, plans) in order to meet with an internet motorcycle buddy swinging through town. A 30 minute ride across town to hook up with riding buddies is a walk in the park.

Na, he was just saying that if Marko can ride to the end of his block to ride with some people, or go the other way to ride alone... he'll ride alone
