    the guy in front lock up his rear brakes causing the next one to do the same and then bucked off?
    __________________
    then stabbed the ground with left leg.then he tried to break his fall with left hand=damned that hurt ta watch it. both newbys. first dude got jacked up man. but who was on side of road filming and squeelin? seemed to be a filming of new guys group ride or something.




    second bike threw it down because he panicked when he saw a scooter beatin up his buddy. he did what he heard others talk about, he laid it down LOL

    watch passenger on lead bike. she waves big at the camera folks. you can also see the vehicle is moving on the shoulder. maybe some rally ho's?

    this is what happens in group rides. watch the last bike, locked rear wheel, then turned handlebars the way he wanted to go.

    It shows how bad things can get real fast. I still don't really see why it should have happened.

    Hey Red Rider, I would have to agree that I don't like to ride much with other people much myself. I will, but I usually will insist on being in the front so I do not get taken out. I have a friend that is always asking me to go riding with him, but I always find an excuse not to because he is kind of reckless. Not only that, he always makes fun of me for being in full leathers when I ride.

    Many people ride with leathers Cardboard, especially in cooler climates like where he is from. Leathers keep you warm and give excellent protection.

    Some bikers wear those Frog Togs and think there cool to. :rolleyes:

    Yeah,JB, I've made the mistake in the past of riding with wreckless riders - and then out-crazying them. Didn't always turn out so good...for me, them or our bikes. So good call in skipping that one.

    As to your full leathers, if your friend don't like yours that ain't your problem. Riding's about freedom, and freedom of choice in what you wear is all yours. So unless your friend is hot hot hardbelly babe with a big inheritance, wear what you want. But you may have to be careful in Texas - seems they got some Fashion Police down there!:roflmao:

    I have been in full leathers so far all of the riding season here in Minnesota because as someone has mentioned, it is still kind of chilly up here. Again, being safe is being cool. Besides, I have a wonderful family that I would like to be around for for a long time yet.:D
