Pick a day! However, Sunday is best for me but I can swing any with lead time.
Not just any Ducati... I believe it's quite wizard.
I have not been riding with other people since christmas eve 2007.
My buddy and I went to Malcolm Smith to buy him a proper sportbike. (He had some cash apparently) Went riding maybe 100+ miles. I led so he could watch me and pace the corners properly. Every 20 miles or so we stopped and had a safety/technique re-enforcing conversation. He was doing great!
Anyways, headed back to home. Turn North on Las Sierra Blvd from Cajalco. (At lake matthews) I let him lead this stretch back into town.
Very first corner, too fast... panic brake instead of lean.... End over end over end over end over end over end...
That day I learned why leathers are so important. He walked away with a nice rash on his back and a completely totaled bike. (he had insured it while signing paperwork)
Ever since I have been having real anxiety issues when riding with other people. It's crippling to the point of being dangerous for me! I need some other people to ride with to help me break this cycle... -BIG DAN

Yes, He does ride. He is pretty good.Oh boy, that sucks Dan. Does he still ride?
They are ALL PUMPED UP and young. No offense to the young bucks (Dan) but that testosterone and competitive nature kicks in and suddenly it's ON and somewhat out of control.

I was teaching him that day. We were going slow and just getting the feel for the bike. As soon as my taillight wasn't there to guide him, he panicked on a turn he could have made if he would have leaned. I guess I have just been to freaked out to ride with anyone else since.
A group ride is 2 riders...
