I ride with a few Dudes. However, I love riding solo. I just jump on and go...

Wow! Thats a lot of responses already. Now that I think about it there are a lot of good things about riding alone. I usually put my mp3 player on some good tunes and just roll. It's the only time I feel completely relaxed. And not having to accommodate others is nice.

Hey BP, you find a new ride or you still looking? They should make you the poster child for the dangers of texting while driving.

Yep, several friends had to move due to obamanomics and lack of work. Look into meetuo.com. Met some good folks and a couple groups to ride with.

Hey Bro, Just getting use to my new titanium alloy bling in my leg. I know what my next bike is (12' Blackline) and my list of mods has been checked twice.

I won't be walking for a few more months so I'll wait. Prices should drop toward the end of the season especially with the 2013's on the way.

Thx for asking my Man...

Even riding with my wife is sometimes a PIA!

Riding with others requires patience and compromise.
More frequent "comfort" stops, some wanting to go faster, others wanting to go slower.

Overall, I prefer riding alone.
If I want to stop at an interesting looking place for whatever (lunch,a beer, bike shop, old car for sale) I can do it without having to worry if everyone else is OK with stopping.

Best plan for group riding is to have pre-planned locations where you can rendezvous for lunch, dinner, or hotels.
We do this in car groups and we all have radios as well as each others cell phone numbers.

Remember, motorcycling is supposed to be fun.
