Group Ride
I got a text from the MV Agusta manager telling me about a group ride in the morning on Friday. We were going to go riding between two or three of us in the first place and thought to join them.
We met up with the group and I have ridden with a few of these guys before, they are nice bunch but they are all experienced. I came with two guys and one of my friends has just started riding so it was a steep learning curve for him. I told him to keep up but don’t push it. In the beginning it was ok from traffic light to traffic light, but when we got on the highways it was bit fast. We were around 15 – 18 motorcycles in total, many different kinds: Ducatis, MV Agustas, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and BMWs. It was a diverse group with a different range of skills.
We started off from Miseela Gas Station and rode out from there, we were in formation but there were some riders who were a bit over active but still fun. We ran into the BMW Motorcycle Club on the road coming out of SAS, it was nice greeting them and we continued on our ride. We were taking up a large part of the road and trying to keep things together so that we don’t lose anyone and nobody bothers us. Whats good about traveling in larger group is that cars stay away, but sometimes there are people who don’t know how to react and they just bull through the group as if they aren’t even there and that is frustrating. We had a few incidents but nothing happened, next time I have an idea to go somewhere else for our ride and away from traffic.
After taking a long ride around the city we head towards Marina to get something to drink, and some of us split from the group to go meet with our friends who were already there. It was really nice weather, cool and nice being outside, I was hungry so I ordered a BBQ Steak Sandwich. Just after 1:00pm I decided to head home but I went for a quick ride before going home, it was a good day of riding.
