Chunkster, I'm a member of the Old Fogeys, a sub sect of the EdmontonSportRiderz. On that site there are racers, stunters, newbs, and of course, us Old Fogeys. We put together rides for the more "experienced" riders and they have been so successful that the kids want to come. The one time that we let them, a kid wound up in the hospital with a broken leg and pelvis with a written off 636, another ran his Busa into the weeds (showing off), and another wowed the rest by riding his RC51 up the edge of a concrete divider/retainer at speed going into a corner to hot (no damage except for some new underwear needed). We now make it invite only. Most of us are in our 40s but there are a few in their 50s and we let some of the late 30s crowd associate with us if they demonstrate an appropriate Fogeyism (disdain for the younger "look at me" riding in a wifebeater and flip flop set). Trying to set up a September long weekend run. Will prolly be my ONLY bike run this year d/t honeymoon and subsequent lack of funds.
Oh, minorly sorry about the threadjack cowelly. How goes the Tuono?
