Official LARGE GROUP MEET/RIDE

[FAST GSXR750]

Good call going too the doctor. You just never know, even with a helmet on. Hope everything works out ok for you. Guy i knew in high school slipped on the ice an bonked his head on the fender of his truck. Didn't think anything of it and has been in a comma since 1979. So go get checked out.

Glad everyone had a great time and that the two involved in the incident are healing. One of the best things about group rides is the support riders receive. I couldn't imagine having a get off, all alone, then waiting for someone to be paying enough attention to notice my busted bike and body off of the roadside. A group ride usually includes members of the medical community, bike mechanics and those that are willing to trailer your bike to anywhere. I group rides.

I tried to (keep up) that was my 1st mistake. Or If they can do it I can do it, wrong answer I shoulda backed the fuk off miles earlier. Live and learn for the next ride. Nobodys fault. We had a riders meeting etc..

Bingo. This is the 80% rule. RIde your own ride in YOUR comfort zone. If you feel like you may be getting in over your head, slow down, flag others by, if you see them bunching up behind you.

Better to be safe and have fun, then press the issue and have a resulting crash. Unfortunately, you learned this the hard way. Glad it didn't turn out worse.

You were smart for wearing full gear.

Sorry Tim, if I sound like I'm preaching. I was not there, but since Jim has fessed up and said he might have been riding over his head at the time, we have some reason of why this happened.

BTW, has anyone heard from the guy on the cruiser who crashed behind? How is he doing?

[ɹǝʍoןandɹǝʍoן]

Ya he's fine just healing and has already planned some custom bobbing to the cruiser. I think he was wearing leather gloves too and they grazed through to his knuckles like his leather jacket did on his arm.

O that’s good at least (that he was wearing gloves - I thought he had no gloves on). Glad to hear he is healing up! I hope he wears some better pants next time as well

Definitely goes to show that jeans are no match for asphalt.

Good thing it was his left side then.

In all honesty, this is why I have been avoiding big group rides this season. Just not into riding hot on the streets anymore. Too much to lose and really got a glimpse of losing it all one year ago today.

Only group ride I will go in is with about 5 or 6 folks for this very reason.

Glad everyone is ok.

... and certainly no match for an EMT with a sharp pair of shears!

[butcher bergs]

Group rides never bothered me...it's the people who bin it trying to do anything other than maintain their comfort zone that bothers me. Regardless I'm glad to see both riders are still around to learn from this mishap.

Glad everyone is ok.

I will try to get this event as a annual meet & Ride, possibly 2. One in the spring and one before the end of the warm weather in September.

As for those that still want to head out this weekend and try Southern VT again, I might be up for it. AGATT Ride!!

[ɹǝʍoןandɹǝʍoן]

crap! I made cager plans for this weekend, enjoy the ride guys. I'd love to come back out that way and ride some more.

Excellent....glad he's fine! And, fwiw, I think bobbing a cruiser is almost always a big improvement....how bout a 'project thread'!

[ɹǝʍoןandɹǝʍoן]

^lol I'll see if I can get him to sign up here, he recently just opened his own shop too could be good.

[Lxpony]

Half Sqiud- I am down for another Sunday ride.... let me know...

[Half Squid]

Still up for Riding Tomorrow?

I need to figure things out if so.

I canbe out of the house ready to ride or 8 AM. Doesn't have to be VT but I amup for a decent day of riding.
