The most dangerous things you see other riders doing on the road.

[WristTwister]

Since you don't go on group rides, what makes YOU, think they felt they were under pressure.

Because people who ride dangerously need an excuse?

[skippa1]

In my opinion its not the group leaders who are the ones saying you must keep up if you want to be in our group but some following riders who make a decision for themselves that it is better to be seen by others keeping up. There was a public group ride in ChCh raising money for St John ambulance where a safety briefing was given but that did not stop some riders feeling under pressure/ego to keep up.

Youve got this whole group thing going on......i think youre sitting at the keyboard wanking, hoping someone will join in and give you the sticky end you desire

his wof guy told him.

I have seen them pass me in my car on the way to Akaroa. If they were not under pressure there would be no need to pass as I dont drive below the speed limit and if my speed is limited its by other traffic in front. Maybe you need to ride/drive this road at the weekends before you will understand what what I am on about.

Reread your reply several times. Look at it from the context of a motorcyclist if you can.It may help you understand why your intellect is regarded as sub-par and your comments are dismissed as irritable jokes by actual motorcyclists.

Unintentionally went on a Ulyssies ride in Hamilton once. Murray was away so another chap told us to meet up as usual for the laxed out ride.

He wanted to check my bike for safety and get me to sign some bs form about riding standard etc. Proceeded on the ride behind him and his Mrs (slowly) in the given direction and passed many turn offs for some fantastic windy roads. Was begining to doze off so headed up past him, waved n took the next right n lived happily ever after. That was dangerous for me as I was losing concentration.
Same thing ended up costing me my Gixxer on another group ride where the leader took us on a tour of boring straight roads at retarded speeds.

As for dangerous shit, for me it's the bell ends trying to get knee down on the road. Totally pointless and not safe due to bumps etc.

Fucking sickening

[awayatc]

my pet hate is bikers that pass on left.....

had one once that did that to me on a group ride......

had a very fuckin friendly chat to him at first stop after that.


Am not at all agreeing with the big C on many if any things.....
but have to admit that group rides don't often work for me.
To many dickheads, and people having alcohol at stops.
Will always continue on my lonesome after any breaches of MY standards...
Happily ride with people I know and trust though

But they are on motorbikes whereas you are in a car. They are passing you so they don't have to follow a car that is generally slower accelerating and braking than a motorbike, and how the fuck can you tell that they are under pressure from other riders? Do you have some sort of gauge on your dash? Please tell me.

You need to see it to believe it.

Ain't that the truth. I've yet to see it.

I don't think even you understand what you are on about...

Once his/her name was mentioned in post #1 it was inevitable. OP didn't see it that way ''Oh and this isn't a thread aimed at cassina''
There was no need to have cassina's name in the first post, it was an invitation by doing so.

[SVboy]

Cassina is as intractable as his comments are irrelevant. What OAB has skilfully done is open a debate on safe practices in group riding, encouraging us to reflect on our own skillset.Cassina's inability to understand other viewpoints and stuck record syndrome make us come back and read, and think.(if just to wonder how a person like this could exist, let alone ride a bike!) Well done OAB!
