i ride alone. i don't quite get the riding companion thing. i think they would slow me down, and are on a whole other bike, anyway. so i am not exactly riding with them. plus i am a full time rider so if you're riding with me you're going where i am going and doing what i am doing. and 'id rather do my daily commuting alone! group rides? i been on a few and plan on going on a few more. they are long and slow 'n slower on a scoot and the only thing i can think of when our destination is reached and we hop off the bikes is i want to ride more. preferably, alone. its how i like it along with some music  |

I like both.
Each has it's advantages
I started a motorcycle group (not club) in Denver 12 years ago, (Rocky Mountain Sabres) and we had around 20 some odd folks.
WE did a couple group rides each month, and the Toys for Tots ride, and some special "In Memory Of....." rides.
It was fun.
BUT
I also prefer the solitude of a cross country ride alone. Riding thru the Arizona desert, going thru Navaho country, or up hiway 1 from LA to San Fran. Or the SanDiego area, North Island,
BUT
Riding with the girlfriend, doing our "LOOP" around the city in the early evening is kinda kool too.
So
Each has their advantages and disadvantages.
(I used to be a big motorcycle rider, after my accident I went to the trike. I may go back to motorcycles some day, but for now, I'm really enjoying the scoot life)

I like al0one, I like groups. I have no buddy to ride with, besides the groups. There is a Genuine Scooter "family reunion" this weekend in Chicago - a 3 hour ride, each way, plus the ride at the gathering. scooterworkschicago.com/ai1ec_event/genuine-family-reunion-ride/?instance_id=40(A Blur or Buddy 170i would be sweet.) I asked if anyone was riding from my area, no response. If I grab a ramp today, I will plan to carry the scooter in the van to near the meet and unload and do the local ride. If I dont get the ramp, I probably wont go at all. |

I ride...
I ride alone I ride with passengers
I haven't in a long time but group rides are fun too
I used to have a "gang" of hooligans I rode with and we would ride nightly (20ish years ago) racing the backroads in the mountains and cruising town in the summer but I think those days are forever gone. Good memories though very good...

I forgot, I did get a second scooter for my GF, but she deemed it too tall and wont touch it - the Znen more classic styled.
I've never ridden two up. 8hp has enough work to do with my fat as$

I do both, I ride alone and with a few buddies. I'm lucky... We have 4 riders. If you were closer, I'd say come along... we get together every friday night for coffee (we have been doing that for years, even before we had scooters) and then ride on weekends. In our group we have three Chinese scoots and one Piggie and many of us have more then one. I have two, Ray has two, Steven has two and Kevin has the Piggie. (1 piggie = 2 chinese... LOL)
Ray, Kevin and myself have been friends for over 20 years so we tend to get into things together. For example, I have a Jimmy and they both have Surburbans.... We all have scooters. And there is noting like seeing three or four big ol' red necks on scooters... LOL
I'm really blessed to have these guys.

howdy, like hank, i tend to ride alone as i don't like to plan or be constrained by the style or limitations of someone else. if i do ride with someone, i generally make arrangements to meet at a specific place, then see if their riding and traffic conditions are amenable to me staying together with them. if not i just slack off and meet up where agreed.
lotsa miles and smiles to ya

I mostly ride alone but to me it is more fun to have at least another scooter buddy . It is more peaceful when alone but so much fun to race another

I ride mostly alone.... But recently bought a 250cc Honda Rebel for my wife. So we can ride together. Member of the St Louis Scooter Club and know a guy in Jefferson City MO that likes riding too.  |
