Hey guys, my name is Nick. I've been searching around on the internet trying to find a group to start riding with. Id like to go out with a group that is mainly sport bikes. I've been riding dirt bikes pretty much my whole life so I'm familiar with riding, but street is a whole other beast. I've been riding for about 3 or so months now, but i havnt gone on any curvy roads or group rides. Would really like too, so my question is more about the groups that go out, is it mainly expert riders? Fast pace? or can pretty much anyone join up and ride? I have a Katana 600 (I know I know, not technically a sport bike, but hey its my first bike ) Would really like to be apart of the next ride to something like Red Rock, or similar. Would love your guys feedback.

Thanks,
Nick

Yo yo yo!!!! Welcome to the site! We like to all ride at our own pace.. some of us are not as quick as the others. But this is no problem. Faster guys ride in the front and the not so fast towards the rear. We have a sweeper on all rides and he makes sure we all arrive in one place safely! We are having a two wheel tuesday tomorrow(meet and greet and grub), check out our rides and gatherings section for more locations and meetups!! Hope to see you soon!

Welcome to site. Your first group ride is always intimidating but soon after you realize there was nothing to worry about. This group of guys is great group to ride with. Friendly atmosphere. Gear and safety is always first. Lots of experience levels from newbies to track junkies to learn from. Everyone rides at their own pace. If someone wants to be Valentino Rossi then they will pass you and that's that. No one is out to set a fast lap, except maybe a guy named Matt on a red Kawi, but really you go at your own pace. There are plenty of people on rides so feel free to approach any member and ask questions. Better to ask before something happens than after. Again, welcome to site.

Hey Newbie

I've recently started riding with the group. Probably been on 3-4 rides through the loop.
I'm re-learning to ride so I'm definitely behind them but they are serious when they say you ride at your own pace.

See you Thursday.
