RE: Bad bad accident.
Glad to hear YOU are ok.
Thoughts and prayers to the victim's family and of the injured as well.
And yes, I can imagine it was a very sedate ride back.
I will ride "tailgunner" or I don't go.
cwick, someone did that in a ride I am on, they'd be"instructed" to leave B4 they even got the thing shut downto havethe converstaion, or I'd be gone. And I N JOY pulling a wheelie on occassion. BUT not when there are other riders around.

RE: Bad bad accident.
I don't know what all you saw or didn't see, but, personally, I would go see a counselor. People generally don't deal well on their own with really disturbing sounds and images. They try to just force themselves to forget but that doesn't work. If something really got to you then you need to talk about it and do so in the context of the accident.Generally people don't want to talk about graphic details to family and friends. They rightly worry about upsetting them. That's what the counselor is for. Part of their job is to cope with disturbing thingstold to them.

Another reason not to ride in large groups, IMO. There will usually be some an idiot or two that is wanting to pass everybody for no reason other than to show off. Over taken the run leader? That is a big no, no in my book, unless the leader signals him around for something. IMO, as soon as some jerk decides to go zipping around the leader, the group should pull over and tell the guy to either go his own way or get in the very last spot and stay there.

I hear ya. I like going in groups of 12 or less and knowing everyone. Sorry for those fellow bikers.
