Yea that is unfortunate but i've been on many group rides with people i don't know, the risk level is ussually higher and i ride really defensively at first untill you get to know people. That being said there is no excuse for the way this person (and his "friend" for that matter) acted. Being relatively new to this forum (not riding) myself it just blows my mind someone would do that. Id like to hear what he has to say as wellOriginally Posted by Aracheon

Yep, thats why I stopped trying to meet people for street riding. Just way too many unknowns.
If you are going to show to a group ride you should at least have a plate, that is just common sense and helps the group not get harassed because of your stupidity. To continue to ride without a license is messed up..its a luxury not a right, you can not even claim your going to work...your just own enjoying the day.
I would have handed the cops your information, well whatever I had...I'm surprised the group was so nice after that.
As for a buddy knowing and not saying anything I guess I can understand. But I would not have shown I was buddies with such a person...makes you look bad too.
Guess I should've walked the line of bikes before we all took off. That could've saved that group a ton of grief. Lesson learned, I will do that from now on during large rides.

^Agreed, lesson learned I guess. Future large noob group rides will have a quick "tech inspection" before KSU.

Thankgod was his friend and was the one who told Vellos about the painting and the suspended license. Luna is a guy and I will be looking through all the posted pics to see if I can find a pic of him and his bike although I'm sure at this point he's repainted it again to keep ahead of the police. I'm sure the cop tried to radio ahead but I watched Luna take off (we had gotten lost and had turned around to get our bearings which is a really funny story on it's own LOL) and he was flying prolly doing 100mph + and since there were multiple exits he prolly had no idea where Luna had gone. Luna was on an all white, obviously hand painted gsxr 600. I don't know what year. He's about 5'11" with kinda scruffy looking hair and the thing that stood out was the fang earring he had in his left ear.

Why am I not surprised by the name of his friend. What winners, both of them.

Off Topic, but yeah, want happened? We got to our destination, had lunch, waited for it to properly digest before Vellos & Co showed up....

Hehe, well, Spooph was leading and he hadn't been on the route before and I had only been on it once last year (and a lot of rum ago) so we got on C470 (passing Vello's group just as they were getting pulled over). I think Spooph thought he had missed the exit for Santa Fe (neither one of us being all too familiar with south west Denver) so we got off and turned around and headed back to the Morrison exit so Spooph could get his bearings (that's when I saw Luna racing off like a mad man). It was pretty funny but good for our n00bs in the group to practice good highway form and what to do if the group gets split up by a car. We circled around again and got back on track. After that it was smooth sailing and we had a great time.
"With every broken bone, I swear I lived."
I dont know why everyone is stressed about this "Luna" Character. Sure it sucks for the group that got pulled over... but thats life. At least they got to learn about the potential consequences of riding without tags and how serious the Highway Nazis take it. Move on... He's obviously not deserving of the attention he's currently receiving.... Karma will catch up to that retard eventually.
Maybe the next noob ride we should walk around and do a plate check beforehand. It never would have crossed my mind.
BTW.... who was honory girl with the short blond/red hair and the awesome ass that was giving you and Sullly lip after the saftey meeting as we were breaking into groups?

If danger came from the tap, I'd shower in that shit!
Perhaps we should have an ACSD who will go unnamed that can be n00b ride enforcer.
If we're lucky, he might even ride a tourer that we can put lights on.
Just sayin...

This is awesome, I get to add people to the list of dipshits to never ride with out actually having to experiance their stupidity first hand. Keep up the good work!

I hope that nobody (with the knowledge of his number) does anything with it, that equals the dipship level he showed.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

That's a good idea. I wonder if I know someone like that.

For future, may I suggest, if you sign up to lead or sweep, please be responsible enough to check the route beforehand and know where you are going so you don't have your n00bs running around in circles. Talk to the ride organizer and/or print a map (which Airreed and Jason ON distributed at the MoCo).

Yikes! Between the leo action, the accident and the running from the cops, the noob ride produced some good drama! I'm just glad I wasn't involved with any of the drama.
To the dude without a license and who ran from the cops - get your registration and license straitened out and stop running from the cops. Us sportbikers have a bad enough reputation with the cops, and stuff like this just pisses them off more. The last thing we need is cops cracking down on us in the canyons because of incidents like this.
