oh yes, you should be. It'll be the first ride in club history where only the ride leader made it back. :D

It was one of the first rides I went on with the club, and apparently I missed the conversation at the last stop of "once we get to 35, we'll split off and everyone will go home on their own". Before too long, I realized I was the only one following Terry, then he took off like a bat out of hell, and suddenly I was alone...

Nice ride! Thanks for leading, Matt!

Jim, Nick, Miles and myself turned it into a bit of an intermediate ride on the way home. :D

Good ride, Matt!

Dave, you can have the jacket back. Turns out it is too big and flaps around like crazy at high speed. Almost shook me off the bike going down the freeway.

Very fun ride, I am going to have to learn that ride since it's pretty close to where I live. Thanks, Matt.
Sorry to split off at the last second, realized that I had my dark visor on and it was 2030.
Ride home was fun. Striple, that's the first time I have ridden with you since you got the CBR, have you done many club rides on it? Miles, it's a good thing we were there...the CBRs would have tried to gang up.

A few, but not very many. I left to South Africa shortly after I bought it, and was gone until late January. Then I started to dedicate a good bit of my free time towards track days, so club rides have been a bit neglected. Work is about to slow down a bit, so I should be able to make a lot more club rides.

Yea good times, so good i decided to miss my exit and take the next one, where a cop pulled up beside me at the light. He looked me down and i swore he was going to pull me over when the light turned green, but thankfully he didn't!

Yeah, after Nick split off, I kept it in the triple digits until I came up on an LEO in front of me, heading the same direction. Way to kill a party!

Same thing happened to me! I nearly got the rear wheel in the air trying not to pass a cop I was closing on rather quickly. Fun while it lasted.
