Do you have any funny group ride stories?

[beet]

Over the years of riding with some sick ass f***s. Don't make them to long.
On one ride I got rear ended by a R6, watched a guy low side on a ent ramp I almost ran him over , then they towed him off the highway with a bike! Bike was gas bound & busted fairings, rear brake lever.. Then we got to the bike show..

[Chippertheripper]

Jeff (03worc9s or whatever it is) ran over a cat. It went helicoptering across the road right in front of me. That's the best I can do. Seen too many crashes, a couple good saves, and some really stupid shit. No helmet mowhawks though.

[Stoneman]

Too many to list...

Ive only been on one big group ride, through the dover/sherborn area. We lost half the group, took the same road too many times, and the cops ended up rolling up on us parked on the side of the road trying to wait for the rest of the group.

[OreoGaborio]

I remeber that one time a whole ton of us were up in VT having some fun on a bunch of backroads at almost knee dragging speeds.

Tony was there, keeping right up with the rest of us.... on his Goldwing..... with Rene on the back.... reading a book

[OreoGaborio]

Then there was that one time when DucDave led us all on a ride that ended up going down a dirt road that lasted for MILES!
Remember that?

No, the other time...

the only thing I remember riding with you. Was it was dark as 3 fuckers & you hit a porcupine or something, it was still moving when I got to it.

why does this sound familiar? Was Kurt leading that ride? He always got lost, because he always used the GPS and it was telling him to turn too late.

And blew right through a 4-way stop sign, one side which was the offramp to a highway.

my first big nesr ride was a few years back in the late fall. I met up with one of the two groups on App Gap. When we made our 2nd pass, the guy in front of me didn't make it around a turn and hit the guard rail - flew over and disappeared. When we got him and his bike patched up he rode home back to RI. Appairently he crashed again on the highway on his way home, due to not having proper eye protection due to the earlier crash.


or the time 8 of us got pulled over in NY, and because the majority of the group were LEOs from VT, we were able to ride off into the sunset scott free...

My first group ride was last April, did not go well. I go to the meeting place, geared up and gassed up, to meet my two friends who have just got their bikes out for spring. Both aren't wearing gear (except for helmets).

Contrary to NESR rides, my friends did not have a printout of plans, or ICE numbers. When I asked what the route was, one of my friends just said, "Fuggit, let's ride!"
So they tore off through a few towns at breakneck speeds. I finally caught up to them when they stopped in Shirley. There, they decided it was time to head back. Then I couldn't get my bike started, so we had to jump it. Once my bike was running we set off, back home, only to be pulled over, 5 minutes later, for an "improper left turn."

Whilst pulled over, it came to my attention that one of my friends did not yet have an inspection sticker on his Nighthawk , my other friend didn't even renew his Yamaha's registration . So the officer had to call a tow truck for the Yamaha, only to find out that there wasn't a tow truck available, so the officer asked if we could call a friend with a pickup truck to come pick up the Yammy.

Moral of the story, don't ride with squids.

[DaSarge]

I went one a ride with Jay (stoneman) one time when I was 15...That was interesting to say the least.

[beet]

Hey most of the old NESR, are squids that's how they started. You are better off in gear then not. I also don't care if you ride nakid with Me!

JHawley did something to piss me off last year. I waited until we were on a group ride and he walked away from his bike and zip tied a 10 inch floppy dick to it.

[butcher bergs]

Ended up a mile or two in the middle of the woods with a friend. We decided to take our FZ1's on an adventure, hitting any road that looked like it had potential.

This one road we found started off great! Long, open sweepers and lotsa grip. A few miles of this....it was euphoric in a way.

However, the pavement eventually ended and 3 miles of dirt road which turned into a mile of singletrack dirt path later, there we were, two 1000cc street bikes smack dab in the middle of dirty-bike territory somewhere in the woods of NH with barely any room to turn the bikes around. We hopped off our bikes and took a break at the top of a hill. We walked over to the other side of the hill and saw something ominous, HUGE boulders and a very steep downhill that would leave us comitted to pressing on deeper into the woods for an unknown amount of distance or time.

With the sun on it's way down, we decided we didn't want to die like this and turned around. Never did manage to find that road again.

A PGrider, ride to the races.
Large group, maybe 20 bikes?
Paul has this great idea of collecting everyones tole money, so just one stop at the tole?
Group of 20 pulls into exact change only tole booth, Paul stuffs the hopper full of $1 bills and off we went.

Met Sean at the VBC for a ODFU ride (One Down Five Up) one morning where 6 riders were supposed to show, but only 5 showed..one went down.
No injuries so it was sorta funny and ironic

What is a ODFU LOL?

I think we were on the Cherohala when my bike wouldn't start after we took a break. We assumed the battery was weak, so I pushed the bike up a small hill and got a push down. Tried to bump start it, didn't work. Tried again. And again. And again. By now I've got sweat pouring down, and I'm pissed. Finally remember that a year before my ground terminal was loose. Yeah, it was loose again. Fuck.

I also flipped that same bike 25 feet down a ravine a day or two before, hauled it out with a winch, started it up and kept on going.

[DaSarge]

Zombie, his brother, Greg, and I were riding back from NH bikeweek I believe and my motorcycle overheated sitting in traffic so we pulled into the breakdown lane so it could cool off...As we were merging back into traffic over a hill a statie sees up 'riding' in the breakdown lane and gives us all tickets because he didnt believe our story...My bike wouldnt start up as I tried to ride off because it over heated again.

Good times
