What's the damn hurry. Did you had to go no. 2? I didn't join this ride but thought it was a chill one.

I don't know which bike you were but I got word around to a few of the riders around me that I would be getting off and using the GPS to backroad it home. I had everyone following for a bit but then the highway just barely opened up and everyone said **** it and kept going straight. I saw the highway was ****ed and knew it would be just as bad as it was coming up Friday.

I said **** it and hopped off the highway, no one followed. I was a bit of north of Barrie and made it back to Mississauga in just over an hour...best part, I was mooooving the whole time, I hate just sitting there on the highway.

SO lesson is: Hop off with the guys that have the ****ing GPS.

AND, there's always a backroad detour, usually its the most 'main' road around...

I'm still not sure why when turning left you try and stick your left hand out to touch the ground??

Am i missing something?

Hes adjusting the supercharger, when it leans left the boost controler spikes and he has to dump the pressure by hand.

Hello there, well WarpTiger, I find this interesting after what happened, you decided to post this kind of comment. Let me recap something in case you forgot:
1) Ride started well, all safe and everyone stayed together all the way up to Bala, maintaining pace on hwy with 20+ riders and keeping them together is not an easy task.
2) You decided to take a couple of guys in the front in Bala where we shouldn't have and started to pass cars illegally putting yours, other riders and cars at risk. Because of this, cops get called and the whole group had to take **** from cops as people complained 20+ riders doing stupid things.
3) When cops stopped, instead of staying with your group you took off, without a care in the world with what the group had to go through.
4) We thought you learnt your lesson but it appears you haven't, When we got on Peninsula Rd which is new road for most of the riders. the Leader Dhruv was maintaining pace so that people who have not done the road remain safe but it seemed that you wanted to and did go ahead and started doing the same thing as you've done in the past rides we've had going north. Result this time is one guy going down. let's be thankful that he is alive. and I do thank you for taking him back to the city so that he could catch a bus ride home.

But honestly true leader don't laugh at others mishaps or unfortunate turn of events. Rather the leader cautions new riders and worries about their safety. At the end of day, people are out to have fun and with such an incident as this one it doesn't leave good taste ......this is not the first time, you know and have been told that you put others life at risk (probably not by me either) but you call for attention. Did you see the Dhruv walking to the cop? What if the cop wasn't nice, you left, and he could have gotten a ticket but he took it upon himself in a respectful manner and managed situation. You gotta learn to be a leader, its easier to do crazy and stupid things and record your posts and what not, but it takes a lot more to lead people and bring them home safely. I hope you understand this and will learn from it to become a better rider and a leader. Hopefully you too will plan rides and have a great turn out. Wish you all the best.

PS if you want to and will continue riding the way you do then you are welcome NOT to come to our rides in the future. I am sure Dhruv will back me on this. We would rather have a safe ride without the cops, other drivers being annoyed with us (such as that other instance in Hailburton last year, (you hoping the curb and cutting across some grass to cut infront of a guy towing a boat (yea we remember that one)) and most importantly to have fun. I don't know if anyone actually came with us to learn how to do crazy riding or wheelies on that ride. People came to have fun and who ever we have talked to they did have fun and are looking forward to more rides like this. You should be thankful that the cops weren't called on you or that they were chasing after you either. Those videos you are posting of yourself doing illegal things, its matter of time when people see you on the road manage to snap a picture or video of you in the act, or call the cops ahead of time so the cops will be waiting for you around the next corner. Last thing, I pray nothing ever happens to the people I ride with, but god forbid if it does, keep in mind its not just your life that will be affected, your family, friends, the motorbike community, we will all be affected.

6iraffe, I'm sure that many people will support you about what you said.

It's not about a specific rider which in this case is WarpTiger.

What you said is pointing at whoever thinks and acts that way. The message is crystal clear to them, you are NOT welcome.
