Any other suggestions?
Well, that people should come to grips with the fact that they should not try to hang out with the fast guys (up front) if they aren't one of the fast guys. There is nothing wrong with making sure someone knows their place, and that they should stay in that place, when it becomes a safety issue for the other members of the ride. If they don't like it, they can always choose to stay home. |

a general list of how to ride in a group, you know the basics. Like not crowding another rider, picking a spot in the group and sticking with it, not passing between 2 riders that are in the same lane or passing a guy in a long sweeping corner and crossing his line right in front of him.
some of the guys have very little experience and no i idea of riding etiquette and tact... i am sure i have done a thing or two that might not have been kosher and if i have i would appriciate someone giving me the heads up so that i dont do it again. i look forward to seeing the list.

That's my choice on the big group rides. And, let's be honest, lots of the smaller group rides too...  |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

Then it will be particularly easy to watch out for a white Streetfighter.

...unless he sneaks up behind you... That's not too likely to happen unless I'm feeling particularly off or laid back for some reason.  I guess we'll see. |

I believe it will be the second Saturday of this month. I'll probably be putting my bike back together that day.

After your 7.5k mile service, or have you been up to more modding?... |
