Do you prefer group or individual riding?

I like to ride.
Don't care either way.
Sometimes I really want to adventure out on my own and just relax, think, enjoy. But this is actually easier to do with one other rider, not so lonely.
The best rides are with 6 to 10 people, 3 to 10 bikes. This way there can be good conversation, safety in numbers, and feel a part of something special. This requires understanding and planning, where a route, the stops, and who is leading (making decisions) are agreed upon before leaving.
I really enjoy the charity runs. Usually with 80 to 140 bikes, but sometimes up to 250. This allows for getting to know other riders and building a good network.
I usually put on over 5,000 miles a year and stay within 200 miles of Fargo, ND.

Include friends with family. This is why I prefer to stay out of groups of unknowns, [Skip to 3:50 ish for the abridged version] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU0IrS7jkew
Too many people out here on 2 wheels with way more motorcycle and ego than skills.

Small groups with a purpose are not bad. Example with the 115th coming up. A rider and his wife I know from out of state are coming. Another couple is riding with them. They are looking over a few things they want to ride to while here. Once they nail it down I will show them around the state . This is not uncommon for events like the 115th . For riders coming along way it helps to have a contact that lives here.

You just have to be vigilant and stay off the F$#@ing cell phone.
I normally ride 10K ~ 12K miles per year. All over the US and Canada.
