    Because people who ride dangerously need an excuse?

    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

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.

    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
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    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.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    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.
    '' i'd let you touch me.''

    Sorry fulla but I am spoken for.

    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!
