We should start a new national club.... we never meet and never ride together. meetings are all held online, and only to make sure everyone is living up to the "we ride alone" creedo. The meeting would have to be in "forum" format because one of our bylaws would be we can't meet as a group of more than two online
OK, I'm just kidding... but it seems a bit funny. We could be .5%'ers

RE: Ride Alone?
I ride alone, live alone, eat alone, sleep alone.............. other people **** me off.
I do ride with others a couple times a year, and enjoy their company when camping.
I would say I ride alone 99% of the time.
There is just something nice about stopping when I want, taking in the sites I want, never being rushed, or feeling that I am holding someone else up when they want to get going.
I am a loner, I guess

Just curious, how many of us ride by ourselves? I ride with friends when I can but it's mostly alone. I'm not talking about riding to and from work or the store, or bar hopping. I mean riding for the love of riding. Whether it's a day cruise or touring. Who does it alone and share your experiences if you'd like.

Dougsdyna, I'm right there with you on that. It's nice to ride alone. I hardly ever ride with anyone else. Can go where you want, stop when you want, don't have to have a major discussion on where we are going. I am heading up to Laconia in June. It's going to be a long haul from Louisiana. Meeting up with about 10 in PA. and we are heading to N.H. from there. Wish it was June. Plan on getting plenty of pics for y'all.

RE: Ride Alone?
I ride alone, but I'm the type whenI used to ride with my old crew, one guy would say this is the general direction and we'd all just go that way. There was no road captain/planner, stop here fill up here blah blah blah. Thats all fina and dandy on organized HOG rides or what have you, but that for me takes away from what I feel riding is....go where you want, when you want, as fast or as slow as you want, and just ride man! Wish I could find one or two riders around here that have the same situation I have, make good $$$, work shift work, and no kids (and wife or girlfriend that's cool with it). This allows me some 2 to 3 day rides during the week, and I go when and where I want. Any lone wolfs up in N Colorado sound off, we'll start a "Loner Club"...he he

RE: Ride Alone?
I probably do about 50/50. For real long trips, I like having others with me. If it is fairly local (250 miles or so), I enjoy riding alone. Don't have to worry about pacingfor other riders, stop when you want...don't stop if you don't want.

RE: Ride Alone?
I would guess that 80-90 percent of the time I am alone. I like to ride with friends but only a couple. Anymore than 3 or 4 bikes and I cant really relax and enjoy the ride.

RE: Ride Alone?
I ride mostly by myself. I commute to work on the bike whenever I can and a lot of times it's hard to coordinate time to ride with friends on the weekend.There's pros and cons I guess.
