Default Do you prefer group or individual riding?
Over the years it seems the roads have become a little more dangerous with all the electronic distractions for 4 wheeled drivers. Me, I enjoy getting out and cruising scenic routes alone, but on the interstate I do not enjoy it near as much. I think there is some increased notice by cars when a large group of bikes are rolling down the highway. How do feel on the matter?

I like solo better for sure.

But group riding is safer. Usually......... keeping in mind, some riders in a group can be just as DUMB as cagers.

No groups
It becomes a 45 mph stop and go to nowhere with all the stupid that goes with it.
I stand by this statement most dont know how to ride,
I about poop my pants for them when see how they go through an intersection!
HS just presume!

I prefer to ride alone. I will do a couple poker runs each year but really don't like doing them.

I enjoy both. I do like to get out on my own on the nice winding mountain roads ... but there's something about being in a pack with brothers that know what they're doing.

I like both but in groups I prefer 4-5 riders. I ride solo 99% of the time I'm on my RKC

I ride alone. I hate Groupthink. I used to ride with one friend, but he's not around much anymore.
