Default Went out today..

Rode today with one of my neighbors, he is the only other person in this entire 5 building complex that rides.. He has an 06 Suzuki Boulevard.

Anyway, we put about 110 miles over a 4 hour period on our bikes today, and I must say.. I LOVE riding with other people!

He also let me take the Blvd for a spin... Ohhh man I am missing out

Yeah, but 73+ MPG has got to be freaking awesome. You probably burned 1.5 gallons or 1/2 tank of gas?

i far prefer riding with other people.... to the point that i pretty much never ride unless i have somebody to ride with. that kind of sets me back since i dont have any friends or neighbors that ride :hs:

what kind of bike do you ride?

Are you kidding? Joy rides solo can be so much fun...go adventuring and just don't do anything that can put you in harms way where being with people helps.

I love riding solo AND with groups...except the groups that do illegal crap...I hate those groups.

Good excuse for a ride

Last night after seeing "War", I ran out of gas, both on tank and on reserve.. somehow. To make a long story short, I pushed my bike up a hill about a 1/4 mile and go figure the gas station at the top was closed. So I coasted down the hill and walked for about 2 1/2 miles to the nearest 24/7 gas station. Talk about major suckage. Two people stopped and asked if they could help and 2 cops drove by me and didnt even stop.

Pushing 300lbs down the street sucks.
