As for a "reasonable" car... with everyone around me trying to play bumper cars, I feel a whole heck of a lot safer in something big than I would in a small car. The drivers around here are ridiculous. At least on my bike, I can see it due to the unencumbered vision around me, and its ability to dart through traffic.

    Most of my normal riding here locally is solo. One of my buddies will go for a ride with me sometimes. I enjoyed the ride down to VAMM with our small group in 23' and this past VAMM with CDL and I and Doyle and Her3Wheels as well. The group rides are fun going around Tazewell too. Not sure if I would want to be in a very large group on a long trip though. Riding with someone is beneficial in a safety and companionship standpoint, but riding solo really gives you a sense of true independence and freedom.

      Ouch! Maybe put the camera in the freezer for a little while and see if the battery shrinks enough to come out?

    A good topic that vaties with everyone. Im a solo rider with an occasional small group.

      Thanks - and we're of the same mindset. Let's ride together... but in different areas, OK? :D

    Solo is easier, small groups made up of friends is more fun, and a large group of strangers is not easy or fun 🤷‍♂

    Both Group and Solo rides have it good an bad points. Solo is easy. At my own pace. Do and see what I want and when. Groups are fun, especially when you are exploring new places or rides. The General chit chat at stops. Working at home I miss adult interactions. Helmet comas are the best. I do not get to use the Cardo often but it really adds another level to riding. Especially if its a new area. 3 videos in one day. You are a machine!

      Yeah, you make some great points - and the comms, oh the comms! You're 100% right there - love me some comms while riding :D And yep, 3 videos... the ideas were just popping. Whether or not they were GOOD ideas? That's not up to me to decide :D

    I like small packs or solo. The occasional group rides like at VAMM or charity event are fine but I am always extra cautious give plenty of room for everyone around me and be as smooth as I can.

      Yep, DEFINITELY well above 35mph LOL :D Thanks for watching!

    LOL just before you said it at 5:55 I was thinking you were going faster than your usual 35 mph. Speaking of at the drop of a hat, my significant other used to tease that the only thing I was willing to do at the drop of a hat is to be intimate. No coffee sponsor yet I see... Good video and subject matter.

      LOL, yeah, just speedy I tell ya... about the speed, not the intimacy. Speaking of which, I think *every* guy is ready to go at a moment's notice! Ride safe [whatever riding that may be] :D

    I think we’re the same. I usually have a small tight window to ride and so that means solo rides mostly

    • @RoadReality
      @RoadReality 4 дні тому

      Yep - unless we BOTH have the same small window in which to ride :D Which has turned out spectacularly!
