Where does everyone hang out.

I ride alone, the very few rare instances I see another sport bike rider they're usually in a tshirt and shoes and look at me like a weirdo with my leather jacket and full gauntlet gloves. I've seen one other guy in proper gear on an R6. I see him about every 4 months. Other than that I have allllll the roads to myself except for the occasional harley every 2 weeks.

I used to generally avoid groups. Since getting Yolie, I actively do so. I've noticed a lot of sport Bike riders see a s1k and act like there's something to prove. Everything I have to prove is to myself.
Although today I did a phone install for a lawyer who I'd ride with. The phone line was for the alarm on his garage. There were no fewer than 8 bikes in the garage. 2 of them Ducati Desmosedicis.

alot of the ones around here who speed by you or try to act cool are the ones who wont wave and dont wear the gear and the ones who wave and ride right are the ones at least with a helmet. I dont mind 2 or 3 for a group never been bigger then that so i dont know how it feels to ride in a group.

Weve got a pretty big group of local riders who have a local message board going and we have a weekend Wednesday night dinner right, meeting at a shopping center at 6 to assemble, kickstands up at 6:30 and we do a 75-100 mile ride thru the county, stopping somewhere for dinner sometime, then back into town to kick it at a bar downtown (OUTSIDE!) who graciously closes off their parking lot for us and it gets filled up with bikes. We try to keep the Wed night ride mellow to attract new riders and get to know others.
