That's the way I feel, too. Sometimes I'll spot what looks like a good motorcycle road, and hook a U-Turn and go back and check it out. On a full-day ride, I'm never sure where I'll end up.

I'm good with both. Both have their pros and cons. I have no friends or family that ride so most of my rides are solo. I do ride with my neighbor occasionally.

98% of my riding is alone. I like it that way, group riding is too much of a circus for me.

Do most of my riding solo. Can't stand frequent stops or pulling into every bar. I find a nice cool mountain road and do my own thing all day.

There are some people I get talked into riding with that want to ride as far as the bar, and I prefer to enjoy my adult beverages at the END of a good ride.

So for me, my preference is either me solo, or me and my wife.

Yea, been there done that. Group riding, at least with the people I used to ride with really sucked. One guy would just want to go bar to bar, the other group had to stop every 10 minutes to smoke dope, then do stupid **** and almost kill themselves or someone else.

For me, there was no upside. Just an accident waiting to happen. Once it does I'll post it here and let y'all know the story. I'll hear about it through the grapevine.
