If it only cost you a couple hundred to find out who you can count on, seems like a cheap lesson to me.

All of my life there's been something going on that needs a little planning.....football games, camping trips, bike trips, Sturgis, float trips, Dead shows, etc, etc.

I've learned a lot. My rule of thumb is, regardless of what kind of event you're trying to plan, is this:

Organize and commit to only your closest friends, then tell everyone else,
"This is what we're doing, and if you guys want to come along, here's all the info."

That solves everything. It works. It weeds out the lame asses. However, if someone chooses to come at the last minute they can, or not come at all, no biggie. This system works.

We've learned to describe the ride difficulty. Nothing worse than hitting the twisties with someone whose never leaned a bike before. I also like to know how fast the cruise portion is, because I don't like to rev mine over 75 all day. Anything else except dirt roads I'm up for.
