riding in groups

We have everything from 'Busa's to 125's on our rideouts. The faster riders scoot off and have a play, the slower riders can ride at a speed they are happy with knowing they won't be abandoned or get lost. We stop at any major route change to allow all the riders to group together again, and we've found that even the 125's are never more than a couple of minutes behind the quick boys.

As for the red mist...............it does happen, but the stops to regroup tend to give that a chance to subside a bit and common sense to kick in

its a proven system lissa and it works. we do the same and everyone enjoys the run. its always good to get home knowing everyone is ok for the next run.

If they wait for you, good. If they don't, turn around and go ride on your own cause they don't understand the concept of riding in a group.
