What is the
collective noun for a group of bikers? Google suggest a rumble or an anarchy.
You could go with a gang, or a thunder, or a chapter. Whatever it is, it’s a
very distinctive entity.
Recently, for
the first time in over a year, I joined an official Chapter Ride. The forecast
looked reasonable, and a friend was Road Captain, so yeah. Why not?
It’s fun to
spend time with people who share your hobbies (read: obsessions), and it’s
always good to get compliments on your ride, which I did in spades because the
last time they saw e, I was on an old Sportster.
Why on
earth did I stop going to these rides?
Ah, yes.
Because there’s always one person who rides almost hesitantly, not filtering, overtaking
cars or taking any chances. And there’s always one person who rides
aggressively, almost recklessly (compensating?), and is generally stuck behind
the cautious person, because there’s no overtaking within the group. Generally,
neither of them understands how to ride in a staggered formation, and I always
seem to be stuck either behind or between them.
