Riding in groups?

[ride4now_imp]

I've been on two large group rides...one with the HOG club I used to belong to in Roswell Ga.. We rode up to Chattanooga for an event. It was about 25-30 bikes on back roads that mirror i75. I didn't like it...too much speeding up and then slowing down. And too much testosterone...people trying to show that their bike is louder or faster than yours. Maybe it's a Harley thing...but I won't do it again. I also did a Police supported and chaperoned ride in Tarpon Springs a few years ago. Again a Harley event that had about 150 bikes in it. That event was better because it was slower with controlled lights and a shorter route. I prefer to ride alone but do enjoy it when I'm riding with a friend or a couple of friends who have a similar temperament and riding style. No showing off...just enjoying each others company, the bikes, the route, and of course, the food. That's fun. Of course, I'm absolutely certain that the ride(s) many of us do together in NC next May will qualify as a fun event regardless of how many actually show up!
