But I like to ride alone...Its my ME Time...I'll ride 24/7 I dont care...sometimes I just get home from work it could be 12am and I'll go out for a ride somewhere.

haha course that turned out to not be the best idea when we hit those hills

i mostly ride by myself, or with one or two well known friends. i enjoy groups too and ill ride with anyone but when things start getting stupid i'll let myself slide to the back

I like to ride with my tarded friends

after going on a couple group rides where people i didn't know showed up and seeing how little fucking skill most average riders have, i generally only ride with my track buddies now. That is, before I stopped having a street bike.

I ride with a great group of people. All various skill levels, but we know eachothers riding styles very well, and always have great rides. We ride a lot too.

As for the chatterboxes, we gave them a try before, but ended up getting rid of them. It kills the joy of riding. It kills the peace. It fucks up your concentration too. You will always get a blabber, someone who just cant STFU, and you'll be just diving in to the apex of a turn and "crjhsdbfsdh BLA BLAH DID YOU SEE THAT CRAZY TREE crsjhfjhcdtrcd" or whatever they feel like blabbing about, and it totally blows all your concentration. Most groups I know who shell out fot them end up just going back to using hand signals.

I'd have to rock the Chatterbox ONLY with people who I knew and trusted not to be a douche with it... Talk ONLY when necessary, no useless babble.

Amen to that. I hear one of our own here who might happen to have more chrome than sport is a huge offender of the chatty cathy rule

I'd move to a different channel to avoid GM's dumbass.

Chatterbox seems silly to me... if you want to chat then drive a car.

And just for communication hand signals are fine.

Sometimes I like to talk to myself or sing and shit when i'm riding. other people don't want to hear that shit

Push to talk. Voice activated would get my best rendition of "Radar Love" which doesn't even sound good in the shower...
