I've never done that, nor do any of my buddies ride with me until I'm home.

We're grown men & we discussed the situation.......at some point in every ride, you go your separate ways.

Usually a follow up phone call is placed to ensure each made it home safely.
You are correct that at some point you have to split up and go your own way. I guess i didnt type it right, i would not leave the ones i rode out with when they had to go back for some reason and let them ride back alone. Again, ride the way you are comfortable.

I understood what you meant. I'm 48 and in excellent health. My riding buddy for the day (Jack) is in his mid sixties and not in perfect health. It was a hot day & ride, he had enough riding for the day and really needed to head on home.

I was not about to ask him to "go back" with me.

Thank you for your thoughtful post.

BTW, that 80 extra miles was pretty fun and as dennyo said, yep the ride home was pretty sweet knowing I didn't lose a $400.00 phone that doesn't have insurance (Apple does not offer it with iPhones).

Yes, I picked up the "Joe's Vest", 1" collar, snaps & black lining.

$250 out the door, no tax.

$299.95 on their website...been "eyeing it" online for awhile so it worked out good.

Gotta see and feel one in person to justify the cost, they're worth it.
