Group Riding 101

It helps if everyone is riding the same kinda bike. Cruisers and sport bikes don't mix well, especially if there is a lot of starting and stopping.

I would - but every time I do that, I have to buy a new headlight, grille, or windshield for the car traveling behind me when the end of it strikes their vehicle..............

I would further suggest "ability" groups. Of course some experienced riders will have to lead the noobs, but it is beneficial to have a "fast/experienced" group and a "slow/noob" group. Even some of the veteran riders like to take it slow(er).

My basic plan for group riding is to see which direction they're pointing and head the other way. Whatever flips your switch I guess but I don't like riding with strangers or newbies.
