Not at all man, not at all! I totally enjoyed chatting with & riding with you.
I didn't notice you having erratic speed or anything at all that made you difficult or annoying to follow. Other than having to ratchet-up my typical street pace a couple of notches to keep you & turbo-Mike from walking-off & leaving me!
So far I haven't had any complaints at all about that group, the few times I've ridden with them last fall. Not the typical cocky sportbike squid types at all.
There have been a few guys that have tagged along on the Westside (Leiper's Fork area) ride & dumped it due to playing 'keep-up' apparently, but I haven't been with them for any of that. The one thing I'm not wild about is that Mike, the one who seems to always want to play 'leader of the pack' has made it very clear that he will run from the cops anytime the situation arises, and I've heard several of other guys say basically the same. I don't like the idea of what kinda scene that could lead to
at all.
But, I'm still glad to find a bit of a 'regular' group, with good potential for new riding-buddies - and more importantly, new
friends, which I don't make enough of an effort to meet & make when I'm in a 'pack' of mostly strangers like that (I usually just kinda keep a low-profile & don't really talk much). That's why I tried to make a point of introducing myself & chatting to you & the other guys I didn't know yet - changing some old habits!
Edit: Forgot this was the Rally thread - I'm looking forward to continuing my new trend at the Rally this year too. It was great meeting & hanging out with everybody last year, and I really enjoyed the ride & company. But as usual I kinda stayed quiet/shy & just 'watched' too much. Maybe I'll try and get liquored-up and jump in the pool naked or something this time around!
OK, maybe not...
