RE: Am I Weird?

A group of bikes can be seen better in traffic, so sometimes they are safer. On the other hand, they can be pretty bad at making decisions.

I vote Not Wierd.

RE: Am I Weird?

I ride alone most of the time. I equally enjoy solo and group riding. I can set my own pace and do my own thing while solo riding and I also enjoy being around my ridin' friends too.

RE: Am I Weird?

Wow, this thread got a lot of hits...I was surprised. Let me add some more thoughts: I just got an email from a from an old co-worker. He was askin if I wanted to hook up with a few guys and go to Myrtle Beach for the fall rally. I will politely decline his invite, but in my mind I was thinking not just no...but HELL NO! All sorts of crazies, cops up the ***, traffic jams, always a couple of bikers killed every year as a result of somebodys stupid actions, not my scene! I love heading down to Myrtle, wheather its a golf outing or a bike trip but never during the busy season.
Last summer, one weekend, I went to Deals Gap with a couple of friends. Rice rocket wannabe Ninjas all over. Sports carsracing around...it was ok. I have been back a couple of time since then. Solo trips sun, mon tues instaed of the weekends. Last fall (early December) I stayed in Maggie Valley, and again this spring. AMAZING, beautifull serene, soul cleansing. Maybe I am anti-social or was a mountain man in a previous life.

Riding alone of with a group...does it really matter?The only important thing is if youare enjoying the ride.

Ride safe and ride often.

RE: Am I Weird?

I usually like riding solo, but enjoy riding with others as well. I ridden with some of the folks on this forum and that has always been fun. The good thing about riding with a group or another rider is you have someone to talk to or hang with. Riding solo you it is just you and your thoughts.

I use to feel nonchalant about rallys, until I went to one. Had a great time. You should do Myrtle Beach. You might like it and just because others act like idiots does not mean you have to.

Ride safe.
