Quote: twhen riding in a group it is common to ride a bit slower so that all can enjoy the ride
. You obviously have never been to a BA.com rally.
Although Paul, you have to admit when riding in a group, and even a group primarily riding Triumphs, by the sheer safety necessities of having to ride at a pace commiserate to those in the group with the least riding skills and experience, is always a must.
Man, I hate group rides. And this is coming from a guy who is the "Road Director" of my Indian riders group chapter.
We are supposed to make group rides "by the book" to keep things as simple as possible and at or below the speed limit. For example, using a lot of right turns.
We found out the hard way that if you take folks on a twisty road, someone will drop their bike. So we tailor our monthly chapter rides to the lowest rider skill. After lunch, the cool kids break off on a hooligan ride.
