WELL, Murph, you were NOT as inconsiderate as that "tool" in front of you.
At least YOU pointed out the POTHOLE, to those behind you !!!!
J/K Murph. GLAD you are okay. And hope you can take a bit o' "ribbin' ". Sometimes you are the "hammer", and sometimes you are the "anvil". We've "been there" or are on our way. Live and LEARN.
Those "percs" will give ya a whole different 'perspective' on thangs, HUH ???
Pointing "hazards", a "nice" thing to do, BUT I DO NOT rely on it, unless I am with one of the MCs, I KNOW !!!!
I do a TON of group riding, and "pack" riding with MC's. I "KEEP my distance" in 'group' rides.
Unless I KNOW the guy 'round me, "personally", I ride, MY RIDE. That's why I DON'T START kicking, UNTIL almost ALL of the others, have pulled out.
I want the chit in front of me, that way I HAVE CONTROL of what is a SAFE distance.
Peshally with ONLY ONE rear DRUM brake !!! (IT s-l-o-w-z ya down, s-l-o-w-l-y
)
PLUS, it keeps Momma (basically a "Rookie") outta the 'fray', too.
Heal up, 'n head out, Murph !!! God speed !!!!!

Glad your OK. One of the things I learned in the Riders Edge class is to maintain a 2-second interval behind the vehicle in front of you. This is meant more for riding behind cagers but good rule of thumb even in a pack of bikes. Gives you some reaction time.
