    Riding solo?

    Just a little poll to see who likes riding solo.

    I never really been into riding with others. Although I have a couple of mates who feel the same, but we are comfortable riding with each other. Strange I know.

    I used to ride solo all the time, wouldnt have it any other way.

    I'm more of a social rider - I like riding with a mate or two generally speaking. Not so much a fan of the group rides as it can get a bit confusing... you don't know where everyone is and then suddenly someone flys past you without warning or something like that. Don't get me wrong, group rides are cool, but you've got to have your wits about you, it's less relaxing.

    Ideally for me I'll go riding with one mate at a time, maybe two, and have a good time. I don't mind riding on my own sometimes too, but like Morcs said I sometimes struggle to find the motivation unless I'm riding with mates.

    i definitely like group rides, but i tend to choose them a little carefully. Dont want to be in a group raising hell and attracting the , but thoroughly enjoy heading off on a little adventure with a few decent folks.
    Tend to like smaller groups better, easier to keep together and less hassles overall, and better conversations at the stops

It's how ya make friends *I don't dick around tho, pretty nana*. Oh anyone know of any good solo cruising routes for a day away from the stress of everyday life?

    well as a noob i hate riding in a group
    too much pressure to ride at the speed others ride at

    would much rather get more experiance under my belt before showing my inexperiance to my peers

    Love riding in a group

    dont care if its six or sixty.
    I love the sound, the sight, the karma.
    Nothing like the sound of a large group of bikes in confined areas
    such as tunnels, main streets, mountain passes, gourges!

    It is good to be somewhere in the pack, and know that you have to be totally aware of whats going on , not only in front, but behind and beside you.

    Solo riding is good for covering distance in as shorta time as possibile, but group riding is the experiance I enjoy the most.
    Noobs, old boys, what ever, little bikes or big bikes, its the same.

    There is no other recreational event that comes even close to riding.
    No other gathering is the same as a bikers gathering.
    No other social group encompases such a vast spectrum of ages, ethnic groups, social standing, income brackets, love, hate, egotistical barsteds and quiet fellows.
    So riding with a group offers me the avantage of meeting people I would never meet anywhere else in society, and be able to talk to them with a common denominator. Bikes! Cages, Cops! lol

    Group riding No 1 for me, just cant get enough of it

    I really don't like riding with n00bs. Some n00bs can't handle the fact that you just don't jump on a bike and end up being fucken good as soon as your arse hits the seat.

    I don't mind waiting for n00bs or even helping them learn, I just don't want it on my mind if they crash, because I would feel like it was my fault cause they were riding way outside of their ability, trying to keep up. (the ones that have that mind set)
    So I just remove the problem. I don't ride with n00bs

    Ive mates with Harleys,some with jap cruisers some with old jappas like mine and some with new bikes,we may all set off together but theres no pressure to wait for anyone etc,if going a long way we all seem to meet up at points along the way,i find the look out for the guy behind you thing tedious,to busy trying to stay with the prick in front of me.
