They would be cruising along, then SLOW way down, forcing me to slow down. Then as I'm like "WTF?" They would pop em' up. Then speed up to catch the rest of the group in front, but then would JAM on the breaks and take a 35mph Corner @ like 30 mph . . . meanwhile I'm maintaining a constant 60-70mph speed, get ready for the corner with a few times I either had to slam on the brakes b4 the apex, or trailbrake very late just to avoid them. You get the picture? It was breaking up the rhythm/pace for the rest of the group and creating varies Risk factors!
After like the 3rd time, I just backed waaaaay off and let them have their fun and basically became the 2nd "Lead" Rider while Snot was about 4-5 bikes behind me!
Just not cool. Ya dig?

Oh one thing I wanna add . . .
PLEASE NO WHEELIES!!!
Keep that to a ZERO!!!
(if your reading this) You 2 guys in May, kept doing it and it was annoying, putting other riders in danger (if you wipe you wanna get RAN over?), creating separation between the group, etc. Just dont do it during these big Group rides. Do that shit when your riding by YOURSELF!

Very possible IN/MAYBE*
Medium Group. with a maybe bump to Medium-Fast!
Most likely will be riding solo (not 2up).
I will ride sweeper if needed, just give the route on paper so I can TAPE it to my gas tank!
If I attend, I would be very interested in obtaining/buying 2-3 "Ohio Riders" stickers and T-shirt!

Guy on a (Nelson)BMW S1000RR and guy on a brand new (Eric)Yammi R1. Both are experienced riders and should have NP keeping up with you. I know Nelson (track rider) will without a doubt!

UPDATE!!!
OUT* This week I've had Minor surgery on my right arm, so wont be Riding for a bit!
-
Hmmm I wonder if that Iron Horse dealership would let me use a Rear spool stand so I can quickly lube up my chain! (chain will need to be lubed after the miles I will put on it getting to met spot. Then again after the 350mile route, before heading home!)

Dave, even thou I never met him in person ( for sure in one of these csba one time this year we will) he is a very good guy just based on the history in forum and opinion from others. And same way Dave is cool, just bit crazy to do the long hauls from Michigan. I wonder who in their right mind does these things.. Oh wait I know..
Hey Niv, you used to live around here. You KNOW its rather boring (except Gingerman or Grattan) in terms of "Twisties". Anyone would be doing the same thing as me . . . well I guess not cuz I'm spread the word around to my fellow Michigan riders. So far NONE have said they are going to JOIN ME on this trip! My PASSION for Riding will never die, no matter the where,when,how's!

If you would like to come down on Friday evening you are welcome to stay at my house for the night. I have an extra room that is not being used right now.
Maybe, if only I knew you! I have thought about riding down Friday, grab a hotel near the met spot so im Fresh to go for Saturdays 342 mile ride. I would ride Home shortly after the 342 route is over. Likely would have to work Sunday morning!
I will post up an update and possibly a PM to you say July 14th thursday!

It is hard to say but if I were to guess, we would be done somewhere between 4 and 5.
Hmmm, this is very possible for me to all do in 1 loong day! I would leave my house at like 4am, should give me enuff time to REST prior to the official group ride start time of 9am!
-
