Its nice just going out on your own and riding your own pace sometimes. I was out for 5 hours yesterday and had a lot of fun even though I wasn't riding at my usual pace. I hadn't been on some of the roads yet this season so I was hesitant to go all out not knowing the road conditions. Forks was pretty good, Hockley was near perfect, after checking it out I did my second run pretty much at full blast on my 250 the whole way through (even at 160 it still feels too slow for that road). It was dead quite, only saw 3 bikes pass when I was stopped for a piss break at the little grocery store/cafe.

It's like never going into the ocean alone; at least there's always someone around to notice when you're gone.
Like I said I'm asocial, I tend to not want people to know I even exist for the most part. Seriously I went to one of those meetups last year and while it was nice to see a ton of nice bikes, I felt uncomfortable as hell.
Ask how many people around here even know what I look like after being around since the early days of the site, and having ridden for 30 years in the GTA
Were you the guy in the corner not saying a word? I thought you were a cop
I could not imagine the terrible discomfort of riding in a sweater or even worse...a jacket!

Close but with a goatee, not a cookie duster.
I like to hit as many charity rides as I can. There are usualy 1-2 per month and it's a nice calm ride for a great cause. I have a core group of guys I ride with and there is a little messing around but nothing crazy. If I am on the CBR I might go a little fast at some points but if I take the V-star or the Boulevard M-50 it's a nice cruise and zero B.S.
I used to enjoy the 30+ group rides but I find it's asking for trouble. We keep it to about 6 of us for most rides and it's mostly heading north away from traffic.
