Protocol and hand signals, questions

[lloydmoore1]

I tend to be fairly picky about who I ride with (maybe too picky?). Got some feedback on how I can be safer, ride better, then I'm all ears. If they're trying to make everyone be carbon copies of themselves, to enforce some sort of "cult" ride rules I'm out. I know the way home (or at least my GPS does). Maybe that's why m/c clubs never appealed to me. Too much forced structure for such a "free" activity.

I'm a firm believer in riding your own ride. If someone is a faster rider than me, excellent...I know the next stop...I'll catch up there, and I'll buy the first round of cokes. If they're slower than me, that's cool too. It about enjoying the ride. I'm not sure why some folks want to make it so rigid and stressful.

This is me also 100% and that's also why I ride mostly by myself...well said
I encountered the same style of riding once and never went back, it's simple follow the rules of the road and be respectful of each others riding styles..

Four in a group is the max for me. Avoids conflicts, confusion and hurt feelings. And usually with guys I know and want to ride with. No guess work,
