I guess this proves the old adage that there has to be an idiot in every group...

The road conditions are horrible after one of the coldest winters I can remember. So slower is the new normal until conditions improve.

I try to do the speed limit unless traffic dictates otherwise. Sometimes slower and sometimes faster.

They aren't concerned about whether you wear a vest or not.
They don't ever ask what color do-rag looks best.
They don't get too concerned about whether you wear a full face helmet or a beanie.
They don't care if you do or don't wear chaps, sneakers, t-shirts or whatever.
They don't trailer bikes that are not broken down.
They don't get too concerned over some guy with a badge not approving of their actions.


These types of people are getting harder to find in the USA....They're called men.


Good times!
very well said, I have never ridden in a group with my Harley, really just use it as transportation, but good stuff.
This is the type of group I would hang with if I ever found one here in CA.
