Fort Worth Motorcycle Riders

Just started riding again after 6 year hiatus. Been riding off and on since 75. I just got my Ninja 250r last Saturday. My last bike was a 2003 Ninja ZX6. Prior to that I had a 2000 Ninja EX250. Many others too numerous to list right now. Really enjoyed riding with you guys today(July 4th). Trying to get my "sea legs " again after not riding for several years. I think the ride this morning really helped me get used to my new bike. Hope to join y'all again for some riding.

Glad to have you on the boards and it was a good time riding with you. Very pretty bike you got there!

Welcome to the boards. Can you fill the rest of us in on how you managed to "find" these guys out there at Sonic? Did you check the boards and then meet them and sign up on here afterwards?

Welcome!

Welcome and yes, waiting to hear how you stumbled upon riding with some of the group today...or yesterday....or whatever it is based on what time anyone is reading this.

Well, the way I found you guys was part luck actually. I used to live a few blocks behind the sonic and used to see a group of riders there, I think on Sunday mornings. Anyway, I just happened to be riding over there on the 4th, not expecting anyone to be there but there you were so I decided to pull in.

enjoyed riding up front with you, thanks for being patient with me. I was doing my best to stay up with you but not too close.

Hey Polo, i was the guy bringing up the rear for the first part of the ride. Looked to me like you were doing just fine. We would love to have you again on another ride!!!

Absolutely would like to ride with everyone again! Nothing like a good ride to sharpen my skills.

You may find we are not what some consider the stereo typical sport bike riders.

Take a few and read up on the guidelines and our riding style. The ride you joined up on was a moderate ride, there is another one tomorrow Saturday the 7th.

The most critical thing in group riding is riding your own ride, don't feel rushed or try to catch the person in front of you, that's no fun for anyone.

Don't feel pressured to keep up, ride what your comfortable with, if the groups get spread out or separated the group up front will wait at the next turn off so no one gets left behind.

If your unable to keep up, the problem isn't you, it's the other people.
