Cecil, yes - a guy on a kanatuna went down in the first turn of the day (z said he target fixated on the grass), and a guy on a gsxr1000 ended up in the weeds later on - he's lucky that's all since while he was right in front of me he swung about 2' too wide in front of a car and brought it back. He was riding a bit erratically as well.

Interesting ride, but I don't know if I'll be riding along on the next one yet. Second ride I've been on with them, and both rides there have been guys who either shouldn't be there in the first place, or are pushing themselves to "keep up" with everyone else when they should be keeping their own pace. I would also bet if the guy that went down Sunday had been wearing more gear than a helmet, he would have walked away from it in better shape.

I'm no pro - and I know that - but I would rather hold someone up or have them wait than make them come back to collect me on the side of the road.

DogBone, no offense, I realize this is not anything that you guys can control, I might suggest you maybe say a few words to calm some of the boys down first next time though. Might also want to mandate gear, which I think you had mentioned in the past.
