C'mon, you guys don't find pride in emptying other dude's ashtrays and filling their beers? You don't understand how hard core you are by enduring months of being called "prospect?" I guess you don't understand "brotherhood."

I thought everyone wanted to be the cool guy with the most hog pins and patches. You're free to do what you want, just as I'm free to think that **** is gay.
Yeah, me neither. When I see a patched in guy I see someone who played bitch long enough until they accepted him.

 

i like a day ride with my wife and another couple. When we stop the girls can visit, we guys can BS, a genial group lunch and we ride safe with precious cargo. It seems to make a stronger bond, like a family outing. On group rides I lead or am last, i dont ride in the pack anymore. Riding with my son is a blast, that is my favorite, he is abetter rider than me.

 

Interesting responses because most of the HD riders I see in SoCal are not solo.

 

Last time I did any group riding was when I was racing motocross and that was like combat. Strictly solo now.

 

I'll ride solo or with my Wife on back. But I prefer to ride with friends. Our group usually consists of 3 to 10 riders depending on who can get away for the day.

 

I mainly ride solo probably because im anti social as my buddy says.
I use to ride with him a lot he was in his 60's I get along with older bikers better.
he was in the motorcyvle club in the 60-70's called road vultures in buffalo.
we could ride side by side at any speed and be confortable I will probably never find this again. maybe I will until then I will ride alone I just cant deal with jackasses or drunks.
Just ride man!

 

Prefer Solo. Selfish riding. Start when I want. Stop when I feel like it. No waiting around. Do ride with friends when we have same days off, and enjoy the company.

 

Obviously solo is going to be a no brainer, because it doesn't take two or more people to have fun riding your scoot. I do however feel safer with my crew. We ride like a well oiled machine, we are all thinking the exact same thing. It's hard to explain, but everyone is in sync with each others movements and communication via signals etc. This comes from years of eating, sleeping and talking about safety in motorcycling and training new members or friends in road riding tactics. Education goes a long way, even for something as simple as riding a motorcycle.

 

Solo rider here.

I might ride with a friend (or two) -- but very rarely.

Pretty much the way I like it...

 

Solo yesterday, solo today and solo tomorrow.
