Passing when group riding - important especially for newbies

[sinned]

Reminder to me - keep away from pack rides and only ride with well organised small groups of riders I trust.

Some Kiwibiker threads contain such a wealth of fuckwittery

Take a look at the amount of deliberate misunderstandings above, and you will see plenty of that, especially that "outside of a corner" thing - thats fucking classic, but they will try and paint anything onto anyone that suits them.

I think many people would just like to fight, angrily shoot their mouth off, and put someone else down - same suspects as you suggest. I actually have something interesting and useful to do, without having a stand-up ding-dong with them.

Dear Metastable.

Firstly - I see you are new to KB - so welcome. I hope you enjoy it here and gain lots of useful information.

You may have noticed that there is a difference between some of the posters here on what is safe and what is not.

What can I say?? - DangerousBastard has the most International experience on the site (you will be amazed what he can turn into a International incident) - but you have probably worked out that he is named DangerousBastard not because he's a dangerous man to mess with - but more for his advise.

My advise - read, re-read, and think - does what this guy is saying sound like the ramblings of a man man on crystal meth? If it does (and his often does) then do not listen to it. If on the other hand - you think he has a good point - then listen to it, but please remember - its at your own risk.

Good luck and enjoy your time here on KB

Seems like the original intent was to inform new riders of the dangers of riding in a group, that you need to think of the collective as well as yourself. Then that point was clarified by others to say that each person needs to ride for themselves as well, and to not just trust your life or liscence (in the case of speeding) to the leader of the group.
Fair enough.
