Default Crazy group rides

so it was around 1230am.. i was doing some facebook creeping where i heard some noise... i looked out my window to see a line of bikes (10-15) all entering the gas station next to my condo. After filling up they started to rev up and do wheelies =/ im sure they ended up getting kicked out the gas station haha and when leaving traffic actually stopped for them ... has anybody been on one of these before?

there's a lot of group rides where i'm from. they're pretty fun, its a good way to make some friends in case you ever need something. you should see if you have a local forum, thats where all the group rides that i've heard about have originated from

Would be pretty sweet to see that. Hope those riders were ok. Hate to see someone fall showing off. I've only seen one wheelie in real life. And it was pretty awesome I must admit. But Damn its dangerous

well go check it out then. if guys are pulling wheelies and stuff, its fine as long as they're safe imo. if it doesn't bother you, pull in and check it out some night. you'll see if its for you or not. there's some guys that i've rode with once, and i'll never ride with them again because of something they did, then there are guys that i'll ride with whenever i can.

Group rides are common around here! haha!

Get enough people and you can stop traffic all you want! This Video is here in the Bay Area, of a group ride... Watch how much traffic they stop after the dude crashes...

That Bike sounds terrible. It also serves the guy right. That's why I was never into group rides...
