One incident that still always stands out in my mind, is when I went on a ride down near Chesapeake Beach in Maryland. It was summertime; stop and go traffic, and I was embedded in a gaggle of Harleys. I was in the back of the pack, they all pulled off the road and I pulled up along side of them. I asked one of my friends "What's up? Why are we stopping?" He replied, "we have to pull over because we're overheating, we have to let the bikes cool down". I Just sat there staring at him... WTF? I never experienced this before with a motorcycle group ride....
