:agree: maybe the OP should just kill the thread.

I disagree that this thread should be deleted, locked maybe, but not deleted. There was some good points in this thread that would be lost if gone.

PS. Bob would have his post count drop too :banghead:

Why does everything always seem to end up as a contest of speed and derring-do? :dontknow:
I have nothing to prove to anybody, when I'm "blocking the road" in front of you...
I'm about relaxing when riding... enjoying the scenery, and NOT rushing to get someplace!

:lecturef_smilie: Don't ride with others... They'll just piss you off!
Off my soapbox now...

You know Bob, one day I'm going to meet you at a Spyder event somewhere, I'm looking forward to riding with you!!

:shocked: Does that mean that I'm in trouble??


I once had a fella track me down to "discuss" his girlfriend's dating habits... :yikes:

Nothing helps release untapped potential, like a fella who wants to stomp you in the mud; and is more than big enough to do so! :roflblack:
My 100 yard sprint time, is STILL a record!

What did he say that was wrong? It was based on his direct observation and experience...and you judge him based on one post and don't know him. Look around at this forum. It's VERY obvious what the majority demographic is here. Anytime the RS-S riders (like me) talk about performance or speed we get jumped on by the older members. Sounds to me like he wasn't the dangerous one that was going to end up on the news...more like the people that almost hit each other were.

Good observation. I agree.

Observation, and Question:
It almost appears as if you would like to make a specific diferentiation; between RS, and RT riders. :shocked:
Would that be based solely upon an operator's age?

R.E. GROUP RIDING

Was out today in this beautiful weather , met up with other Spyder lovers and I have to say it was the worst ride ever . These guys did not know how to ride at all . Going slow missing turns Two spiders almost ran into each other , got dam . Then it hit me . When we stop for lunch I looked around and felt that I was in a got dam nursing home , lol I was the youngest rider .

Going at least 75 to 80 would have been exciting but 40 to 50 then waiting for these fools lol.
Amazing . Left the pack came home and jump on my Gixxa road for bout and hour and that was my therapy for the day . Maybe when I hit 50 I will be like these guys today .

No hard feelings but I may not be going out again with you guys ,lol
it still all love .:clap:

Well, my friend, I can sympathise with you. Group riding takes a lot of patience, for sure. Over the years I've ridden with groups of folks I didn't know, and those rides were similar to your experience. We try, now, to ride with friends with similar riding styles. And running at 50 MPH or 80 through the twisties is mighty uncomfortable, if not painful! We now choose our riding partners more carefully, and enjoy the rides.
Good luck in the future,
CapNCrunch : =)
