I definitely prefer riding with people I know and trust. I've got a few friends that I ride with all the time. We'll take in someone new once in a while and keep a close eye on them till we can trust them.

i enjoy riding alone too, nothing wrong with that at all.

I typically ride alone since I havent met many people around here worth riding with. I ride with my buddy with the zx10 on occasion since he takes it easy but hes a squid. Most people I know ride like assholes and a few others are simply too fast for me. I dont mind riding with them, but they are much faster and prefer to push it a lot more than me. Ill have to take a few trips this year to find new people to ride with.

I have to say, I tend to stay with knowns. Being in squiddise (squid paradise) I'm picky about who i'll risk my neck with.

I've got a close knit local group, the track whores as Papapoi so aptly named us (deserter!

). Also pretty much anyone from here that I've ridden with. We are familiar and comfortable and our expectations are clear up front. No douchebagging. I like to stop after a of bit of riding for a few minutes, but dont expect me to stick around if we're stopping every few miles. If you ride with us, you get a location, a time to be there, a few minutes to be late (alot actually, what biker is EVER on time cept Ebbs), and thats it. You dont show, or catch up, youre outta luck.

I dont like jerks, but newbs dont bother me, and I have no problem mentoring someone who genuinely cares about riding but if you're in it to show off or be "cool", you get nuthin from me.

And youre on your own for the bluetooth or chatterbox. Love you guys, but when Im riding, the only noise besides the road i want is my ipod. If ya cant communicate via sign language, youre outta luck!

that's what's nice with the chatter box... you have blue tooth to listen to your ipod... but allows us to give heads up...

you have to push a button like a walkie talkie to talk... it's not as though it's an open comunication going back and forth.

remember passing that truck in the rain on the way to trip's? that would have been a perfect place to have it... I went on a ahead and could have given you the heads up, hey it clears after 15ft or so, so just push through... rather than have ya stuck back there for a bit...

ya know?
