From another thread, but I wanna get this some visibility, 'cause I need some advice.SYMbionic Duo wrote:Don't let someone behind you push you!
If i'm riding into the wind and i see a line of cars behind me, i just pull over and let the group pass, then resume. Last thing i want is some idiot in a hurry trying to pass me and two other cars and causing an accident. Almost happened a couple of months ago, chick in a Pontiac almost hit a deer, as she was passing the two cars behind me and me.
I offered to lead a ride a couple of weekends ago, via our local "club" web site. I mentioned that it was an "advanced ride," and asked that ONLY 125cc+ bikes show up. Of course in our group, we don't care what make or style of bike it is -- we only ask that it be safe, legal and expected to be serviceable enough to complete the ride (shizznat happens, of course). So yeah, your Harley is welcome to ride with our Buddys, Kymcos, Vespas, what have you.
One of our guys showed up on a 50cc scooter that he admitted, before we left, could only do 40MPH.
There were sections of our ride posted at 55MPH, which means 65MPH+ cagers.
Should I have been the Bad Guy, and refused to lead the ride?
