Dickheads on group rides

[Motu]

I'm a dickhead on group rides - it's a bit embarassing, but every ride needs one and it gives my life a purpose.

Asked my mates at pub night not to tailgate me.....
Asked my mates at pub night not to undertake me.....

Starter for ten. What happened next?

Any Harley rider could show you how.

Well its funny you should mention that. I hate group rides these days. Had an airhead on an airhead not notice we were braking. I saw him closing in and moved over but not enough and the boxer hit the GS11s muffler cartwheeling him down the road. A mate was standing up ready for the impact I deflected (bought me a beer later).

But then Hardley shoots past on the left. He was at the pub and said. Aww there was no room to stop. He was told everyone else managed except the cretin who wasn't looking. Fred Flintstone brakes.

Went on a Ulysses ride out of Tauranga four or five years ago,. This was first ride with the club on my new Boulevard M50, I'd ridden with them for about a year and a half on my learner cruiser 250. There were two Harley riders, four sports bike riders and me. While the two Harley riders were discussing something, one of the sports bike riders (Yammie R6 rider) came over and started abusing me and my bike - "Why did you buy that piece of shit? My bike has the brakes of an R1 ... " for about 5 minutes. And disappointingly none of the other sports bike riders said anything, no "Hang on," no "That's enough".

So my bike doesn't have the brakes of an R6/R1. But I don't ride like an F*wit so I don't need them. The M50 is fit for purpose, good enough for the way I ride.

Next day I handed in my membership of Ulysses and have been riding and enjoying it on my own since.

Yeah, there's always a dickhead in a group ride.

I've gone off group rides because I find on average about 60% of the people there are twats, with whom I share no common interests outside motorcycles.

You're obviously not scary looking enough, James

After having been prosecuted for the riding of another on a group ride a few years back, fuck that shit. Group rides are just passing fodder these days and can add a little spice to an otherwise meh ride. Give the cunts the learn!

group rides are hilarious, especially on a LS650.

The newer harlies with Brembo's stop as well as any motorcycle these days.

I have seen a few Harley riders bin it after a brain fade, I have also seen a few jap riders do exactly the same. Group rides can bring out the worst in some riders, they also show who has no self control and who to keep the fuck away from.

I had an attractive young lady buy me a beer after an ambulance run a few years ago. She followed me on the run. Her on a GN and me on the old sidecar. There was a good acident just after a plonker ran around us and back ended a 4WD. (If I was just 30 years younder and she was a little blind we would have made a lovely couple).

I keep away from group runs if I can, espcially the public ones.

Oh I'm certain this dick could a stopped if he'd been paying some attn and yanked a little harder on that lever instead of standing on the pedal.
