Group Riding Etiquette (How-To Properly ride in a group)

when you get into the tight twisties, ROE are pretty much out the door. Ride at your own pace and thats about it. if you dont like being as close to the guy in front of you slow it down, who gives a fuck if you get passed.

The people in the SV rally at the gap were crazy as hell last year, my first ride through it me and DP got caught in a mix of em pretty much riding front to back tire the whole way. Thrilling, to say the least.

Riding in the twisties, even with only one or two other riders, you always get caught behind a slow car or SUV. The first rider passes at a straight, and then the second rider passes. Then it's your turn at the next straight and a car is coming in the other direction. The same thing happens in the next straight and then there are no more straights. And the car won't pull over. And your buddies are out of sight. And it's a double yellow. And a state trooper pulls up behind you.....

... and you get a flat tire, and a deer jumps out in front of you, and kids are shooting paintballs at you, and the bridge is out ahead, and it starts hailing, and your helmet is suffocating you, and you accidentally just did three hits of acid...

I agree. Long as I've known the main kats on this board (which has been a good while, I just don't post much), they've always been about safety first in all forms of riding.

maybe we should delete this,

I had a fun weekend of group riding. Logged a lot of miles, a ton of unnecessary miles thanks to there being 3 highway 70's in tennessee and drewpy leaving out he was on 70N when I was on 70.
