Slow riding partner??
How to deal with a slow riding partner, my buddy is just a slow driver and it sucks sometimes. I drive slower when i'm with him but it would be nice if he could pick up the pace once in awhile. Seems like he wont go over 60mph reguardless of road conditions. Be nice if could ride like we are together instaed of falling so far back that we look seperated,. I also feel it's safer if he would close the gap some.

How to deal with a fast riding partner, my buddy is just a fast driver and it sucks sometimes. I drive faster when i'm with him but it would be nice if he could slow down the pace once in awhile. Seems like he wont go under 60mph reguardless of road conditions. Be nice if could ride like we are together instead of pulling so far ahead that we look seperated. I also feel it's safer if he would close the gap some.

My best and oldest bud is BY FAR the slowest rider I have ever known. He's been riding for over 40 years and has always been slow, and I mean SLOW!!! I can bite my tongue for a couple of hours and then it just wells up inside of me. I get irritated and start nagging at him to speed up, and of course he does not.
My solution since try as I might, I couldn't keep my mouth shut, was to quit riding with him. We get along better than ever now.
