I like to ride. I like planning a ride. I like talking to / telling people about my ride.
I'll ride solo, with a pillion, with a ride partner, perhaps two, three or four, next Sunday there may be half a dozen, perhaps more riding from Mt Macedon to Lyonville.
Large groups? I rode with couple thou the Ulysses at Penrith, never again; a few hundred on a Black Dog Ride, never, never, ever again. One time (because a mate wanted to) we rode with a humungous group from Cranbourne to Phillip Island (on GP weekend). Most of the riders were sensible, a very small minority were absolutely crazy, lane splitting (between motorcycles), lane swapping, speeding up/down, we peeled off at Tooradin, we'd had enough.
