Group Ride Etiquette
I want to thank Dan (SFLG35) for helping us put together a couple of scenarios on how to ride as a group and how not to ride together.

Re: Group Ride Etiquette
Here's a nice shot of 3 G's getting on an interstate at a respectable 35mph. Note the equal spacing and safe following distance. You can tell they all have a great deal of respect for one another and one another's cars as well.

Re: Group Ride Etiquette
Here's another shot of 3 Gs on an interstate cruising at about 70-75 mph. Note that you cannot see the bumper of the lead G because the 2nd G is so close. Also note that the 3rd G has increased their following distance (major respect once again) because of the new speed but also because they can see how bad the 2nd G is riding the 1st Gs a$$.
I hope everyone gets something out of this training session.

Re: Group Ride Etiquette
Before some people freak out, this was posted solely in jest. Nobody was upset, we were just giving Dan a hard time at Hooters about his following distance and it was nice to have some proof.
Once again, thanks goes out to Dan (rubbin' is racin').

Re: Group Ride Etiquette
Those were the only good ones. I couldn't get too many good shots, trying to drive and all.

Re: Group Ride Etiquette
Nice to finally get out and meet everyone and put a name with a face. I guess I'll see some of you this sunday. What about a mini meet for breakfast before the event and a group arrival to the event ?
Trent, you bringing the wife ? ( mine's shopping for a buddy to help her understand this whole G thing )
Daniel, the garage and oven are ready when your game although the parts will need to be ordered and prepped. Let me know.

Re: Group Ride Etiquette
Yeah my wife is coming out there. Did you get your parking pass? I've got family coming into town this weekend so I'll be playing chef that morning at the house. I'll meet up with you somewhere to ride there though.

Re: Group Ride Etiquette
especially with gas at 2.20 a gallon, got to save it any way possible.
