If they want to ride in a big group and keep it together, so be it. Your bike didn't overheat and explode into a ball of flames while you were waiting. Once they were through you were able to go on your way still. I've been in groups that have done this before, albeit not as large as described.<br /><br />As for groups this large, the safety aspet can be debated both ways... That's a pretty large group. Keep in mind, this was done for YOU AND I last year on the ride we did for that church down near you, to keep the group of 20-30 bikes we had together at stop signs (don't recall about stoplights).<br /><br />Now regarding them in a bunch of lanes, I agree they should be in their correct lane. If they're turning left, then they should be in the left turn lane, for the sake of the safety of the riders in their group. But that also means they're going to be blocking the straight lane for a LONG ways back, and you'd have been waiting even longer.rc5695https://www.blogger.com/profile/03740171434261370614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465878416372541218.post-69068540766966611722009-05-02T19:31:00.000-04:002009-05-02T19:31:00.000-04:00it's a herd mentality thing with guys like this......it's a herd mentality thing with guys like this....anonymity in this herd enboldens bikers like these.<br /><br />think about it this way, they're apparently scared to ride alone....or have this weird thought that doing this makes them "bad"....<br /><br />yeah, they make all motorcycle riders look bad, but then again, I don't consider myself in the same league.....<br /><br />shake it off, go ride some more....they probably only rode long enough to get to a bar, then stopped for the day to drink and pose....redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.com
