I'm unlikely to be found on any group ride, Phloater and i are in the same sportbike club and have been for several years. I have yet to go on a group ride with anyone from the club.

I've been on 1 group ride and honestly i didn't like it. Too many people were around that i didn't know their riding style.

If i'm riding with someone, i want to know how they're going to react.

Oh, and i do take offense to the "typical sport bike rider" comments. Especially if they're coming from someone who rides a bar hopper...

But every real motorcyclist out their knows, it's the cagers that are the true danger.
