Japanese motorcycles hate

[the Ferret]

I was asked to lead a group ride once for an Ohio based forum since I was familiar with good roads in the county. I was uncomfortable with it but agreed. They said expect 10 or 11 bikes. We were meeting at a BBQ place in Wilmington Ohio for lunch, then a ride. Well besides the 10 guys on various bikes I was expecting, 34 guys on Goldwings showed up (one of the forum members put out the word to his Goldwing Chapter). Arrived in a group. They were literally running for the door of the restaurant, barely after their kickstands had hit the pavement. I asked another guy what was up with them, and he said they don't like waiting in line to eat, or trying to find a seat in the restaurant and that it was common for groups of old men on Goldwings. Hmm did not know that. Then during the ride, one of them pulled up beside me and said the guys were screaming on their CB radios that they needed to pee, so I found a gas station and pulled in. Same story, kick stands barely down and these old dudes were running for the can so they didn't have to wait in line.

Didn't have to worry about them doing something stupid on the ride though, they followed each other like baby ducks behind a momma, same little gap between each one.
