Default Are you a Social or Anti-social rider?

Personally I am an anti-social rider at heart. When I head to bike week in Myrtle Beach I am the biker that normally passes the other bikers or stays way behind. I hate riding in a group. I will ride in a group for a HOG event or a chariety but when I travel I hate riding with others. If I must travel distance with others(not HOG or chariety) I am at the tail of the group and the one that watches out for other riders. I am Anti social I suppose.

Default RE: Are you a Social or Anti-social rider?

Let's put it this way: I have a select group of people that I ride with and pretty much avoid other riders, in group situations.

At Fund-raising rides/events, I see too many new, unsure riders and show-offs, and don't want to be anywhere near those people when things turn **** up, and starts to take on water.

I realize we all need to start somewhere and even I was a "New" rider once, but I'm talking more about the wanna-be's and the idiots.

I don't mind riding with others but it's not my preference. I don't care to watch what others are doing around me. And I like to do and go what I choose.

You need to add another category: A-social Rider. I'm not anti-social nor am I even close togregarious either. I just prefer to ride alone. +1 on the idiots &show-offs. Passing a bike doing the speed limit on an uphill S-curve on the Beartooth Pass isn't the brightest thing to do. It's a long way down.

I like riding in large groups, Often ride with 12 or more unless I am going to work.

I'm not sure what I am, don't like large groups, don't mind a couple of other bikes but when I travel I like to ride in back, sort of watch over the flock..mostly I like to ride alone. exception to the rule would be the Four horsemen rides.

I do ride with groups but prefer to travel solo or with only 1 or 2 other riders. I like to set my own pace, ride my own ride and don't really enjoy playing "follow the leader". I have no objection though to meeting up with fellow riders for a good party.

Default RE: Are you a Social or Anti-social rider?

I really couldn't say as of now. None of my friends have bikes or live too far away, and I guess I'm not really M.C. material (especially for something like HAMC- I wouldn't be able to uphold the image, kids and job are too important to me). I guess I just havent found a good group of people to hang with that haveHarley's in my area yet.

I kind of like ridin alone, cuz then it's my own pace, my own detination, or even no destination, just cruisin. But if I found some buddies to ride with I'd be glad to get the hell out of my house from in front of my computer a little more often to go hang and ride with them.
