I quit riding in groups a long time ago. Too many idiots, especially on poker runs and the like. I now will only ride with a handful of people, mainly ex-racers.
A client of mine called me one morning, years ago, to see if I wanted to ride out to one of the lakes in NE Oklahoma and get a burger. Well... not really, but he was a client, so sure... I was on one of my sport bikes, he was on a Harley, so I made sure he led, as I didn't want him riding over his head to keep up with me. So... he rode over his head to stay ahead of me... He ran out of talent and nerve in a downhill, hard left at about 60, ran onto the shoulder and clipped a road sign. Down he went, into the ditch, and broke his arm. I spent the rest of the day gathering up the mess. Never again...
