Just a poll to see how our members like riding with other riders.

the term "Squid" was originally coined on the race track at a track day. some experienced rider was commenting on the new riders say they move "squid like" on the track implying the go really fast come to a complete stop, turn, then go fast again. on the street most people call a squid someone riding way over their head, usually not wearing any gear or even riding in shorts and a tank top normally in sandals. I like the acronym "s.q.u.i.d." S.tupidly Q.uick U.nderdressed I.mmenintly D.eadsince i am new can someone tell what exactly a squid is?
It may have bothered some that "planned" was mis-spelled. You know how some people are..
I like riding with others if I trust them. Shawn (poorwboy) & I have ridden together for years be it on motocrossers or sportbikes. I like riding with him, I can predict what he's going to do and know if were running a fast pace he won't plow me on corner entries even if were only a bike length apart! riding with someone like that is FUN you know they will hold there line in a corner if you want to make a pass, and if they pass you, you know it will be clean and they won't crowd you. on the other side of the coin I've ridden with guys who feel they have some point to make, there lines are sloppy, passes are reckless and I feel at any minute they are going to go down ( most the time they do!!!) riding with people like that is very stressful, taking most of the fun out of it.
so I guess to answer the question I'd say sometimes if the company's "wright"( subliminal message) otherwise I ride solo! :Sport:
seriously these guys were all real wusses
A club that i am looking at joining has a few rules that I really liked. Rule 1 is "RIDE YOUR RIDE". Simply stated it means ride at your own pace and don't be pressured by others to ride beyond your skill level. The fact that they were lagging behind tells me that they were riding their ride! Good for them!
I am supposed to ride on Saturday with 3 others: a motocycle motorhome (goldwing), a yamaha cruiser, and a Ducati 749.
I am not expecting too much because the other three are riding 2-up.
We'll see. We are hitting a burger joing on the coast west of Lompoc called Jalama beach. So there should at least be a good lunch involved.
My real fear is that mom&pop on the goldwing will set the cruise control at 55 mph on the 101. That would make for a very monotonous haul. :banghead:
