Likwid Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 So, I have a cruiser, but I'm not sure the on rides and meet ups.Keep in mind I'm very new to riding so don't smack me yet. Is there any protocol for riding with people? Do cruisers and sport bikes not go out together? Does everyone park separately? I'm not against anyone... I'm fine with all riders (maybe scooters piss me off a bit) but if it's going to piss off other people I don't want to do it.... maybe just being a newb and riding a red bike pisses people off.... but I can't fix that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchmuckGirl Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 lol, no rules man. We have a really easy going and laid back group.I would say just get out and meet as many as you can and then you can see who you click with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmageddon Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I ride a cruiser, and I ride mostly with sportbike guys. It really makes no difference. Well, I guess it you're riding with the Mongols some other gang it might, but I doubt you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost1888 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 My only rules for group riding with me are as follows....1. Ride you own pace.2. Don't try to be something or someone your not.3. If the ride is to fast paced for you speak up. No reason to get pissed off and run away.4. If you are riding in a tight group please ride in a staggered pattern.5. Communicated your concerns and be honest about your level of riding before we start.6. Don't do anything that will put anyone else at risk. Wheelies, stoppies and other stunts in the group.7. Don't ever leave a rider behind. You go as a group you come as a group.8. Please wear at least a helmet. Jacket and gloves would be nice but I'm not your mother.9. Have fun10. Keep your drama at home and don't make more with the group.I could care less what you ride! It's about the ride, not what your riding. I go out to ride with the purpose of enjoying the ride the scenery and being around like minded people. So if you feel the same way LET'S GO RIDE!

Disclaimer Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 You are correct, sportbikes and cruisers don't go out at the same time. Unless you're carrying drinks and stuff in your saddlebags for the sportbikers - like a support vehicle. Ask cmoosego. And, parking next to sportbike with your cruiser is by invitation only. Since it's not a Harley, sportbikers might be a little more accepting.Being a Kawi though - I will give you the advice that you don't DARE park next to a Suzuki sportbike. Your engine won't be able to handle the horsepower eminating from a Suzuki sportbike - even sitting still. I think it may even void any factory warranties you may have from Kawasaki.

Disclaimer Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Wait, You mean we can't redeem rep and post counts for cash and prizes later in the game? No, I don't care. I just wanted to bring it to *whoever's* attention that they MAY have hit the wrong button. If they meant it to be negative - fine. I'm not bitching about it either way.*EDIT: I've narrowed it down to 2 potential people based on their <3 of Kawis and their current reputation strength. And since they basically repped it to UNDO the negative rep* I'll see you in Coshocton tomorrow. Edited May 29, 2009 by JRMMiii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
