A funny (not "ha ha") thing happened on our group ride today....

I rarely ride in groups. Infact I almost always ride solo. I just prefer it that way. When I did ride in a group it was usually with friends who got into bikes after me so they were all newbies and none where really nuts.

Usually if the idiot is out front it makes great entertainment. Nothing like watching someone with such horrible seating position leaving blackies thinking he is hot shit to be caught by a bunch of parading Harleys.

What's funny is, lookin at this guy, I'm like "Yup, I'll be in back..." then PhiSig says "Ok, I'll ride sweep!" Then another friend pipes in "Yeah, I think I'll be in the back...." (and we knew when we met up with Saki Girl, she'd call sweep position, too, so we're all laughing that we'll ALL "be in the back,"

We bareley do group rides - and don't like riding in formation at all.

Most of the time I'm by myself (taking the long way home from work) or I head out with my hubby exploring dirt/fire roads. Even then, we don't necessary stick together at all times.

Group ride on twistys don't work very well anyway - you'll never find a spot for more than 1 or 2 bikes to pass savely...

The only group ride we did last year was combined street/dirt and as soon as we hit unpaved roads we split up - everybody does his own speed pending on skill/tires and you just wait on the next intersection... that's the way I like it.
