The point of doing it, is to enjoy it and to do it SAFELY.

I know for a fact the majority of TSB riders do not ride in a respectable manner.

Point in fact, about 3-4 months ago, I rode to old town with a friend. Along the way, there were people there from TSB who made the ride back with us. We got on I-4 from the 417 and I did 80 the whole way home, and lost them by the time we got to the Poincianna exit, which is only like 5 miles. The next time I saw one of them was at I4 and 75 by the fairgrounds. I asked him the next day how I caught him. He told me he got off at 75 by mistake and got lost. Come to find out, he went all the way down PAST exit 240B for Sun City, and came back, and still managed to beat me back to that interchange. Mind you, thats a 37 mile trip to that exit from I4. So with me doing 80 the whole way home, it took me a little over an hour. So in that time, he got back to the Tampa city limits and had time to ride almost 80 miles out of the way. Im sure you can do the math and figure out an average speed. He was the only one who went out of his way, but the group they started with was around 15-20. So im sure 15-20 bikes doing 150 the whole way back was real safe..

I dont think that sounds like a respectable manner to me.
