What a diverse group of bikes. That is what I call a good day of riding.

He says he rides with us partly to help himself from going too fast all the time. Yesterday, the Ducati was directly in front of me most of the way and had way more acceleration than me. But our friendships go back a long way; we never overtake each other (except in exceptional circumstances, and then with great care), always watch out for each other, and just enjoy being together. We understand if anyone's getting frustrated and cut each other slack; sometimes the S1000RR and the Ducati race off together without us, and then wait for us to catch up. To be fair, we usually avoid 'motorways', preferring the more demanding, twisty lanes, which puts us more on a 'level playing-field'.
That's about what I figured...I used to do a lot of group riding, but it mostly all Harley's, so there was equality. It can be hard for different types of bikes to ride together...

In the USA you are going to have a ton of HDs riding together. In Europe, you are going to have a lot more diversity among bikes. In my area, it is mostly HDs. Maybe once a year I seen a European brand motorcycle. They are rare where I live.

Finally getting a chance to go out and ride Sun. Been about 2 weeks since I last rode. It has either rained, been too cold or too windy. Sun is as perfect weather as you could ask for.

Weather has been exceptional...the only reason I didn't ride yesterday was because of Easter, but had a terrific day at the gun club on Saturday...will probably get some riding in this week...
