Unfortunately, you have to go on a few group rides to decide who it is you want to ride with. Unless you just have a small group of peeps that already hangs out and rides.
Just choose the group carefully, tag along at the back, and get a feel for the group.
If you have concerns, voice them at a stop and see how others react. That will tell you a lot right there.

I guess were not a club. Rather a first point of contact to establish more private social circles. Wisdom is the ability to not need a close call to be reminded that lives can be changed or taken in the fraction of a second. Motorcycles are the most impossible things to keep under total control 100% of the time. I hope this guys wisdom gathering continues.
It is that damn friend request option!!!!!
Damn friend request!!!!
I am always laggy and slow, I am still too new to push myself too fast. Now that I have lowside crashed I'm super slow and cautious and still havent gotten my speed and confidence back as I am affraid of falling again. I think my riding season is over for the year and was hoping to get my speed back and rub a bunch more before the season ends but now everytime I'm on the bike I always tense and feel wobbly and unconfident. Pisses me the fuck off!
Yup thats me too, people are always done before I get there, jackets and helmets off and a fresh cup of coffee in hand!

This has been my first season back, after 3 years without a bike. I went from a 95 FZR 600 to an 05 R1. My first couple months were totally scary and I was actually holding up cages on tight twisties. I guess I'm lucky that I didn't crash because the last month or so of riding have been a lot faster and lot more fun. Guess I'm finally getting my groove back so I understand how frustrating it can be to,,,, well, to be slow and freaked out. Although, I've put almost 8000 miles on the old girl since June, so I I'd better be getting fast again Good luck breaking that plateau, Uhateit!
I've found a hand full of people that I mostly ride with. It's been very comforting to get to know these riders’ styles so well and trust them to teach me good techniques. Riding with technically sound and responsible riders makes all the difference in the world.

The last time I held up a cage, I was on a rented Harley Road King going down Hwy 7 at 70mph. Damn hopped up Volvo s60 had a stick up his ass.

I hold up traffic on the DRZ until I find a random field I decide I want to ride through .

Don't worry about finding "speed" on the street.. worry about getting the good mechanics and skills that allow you to ride the bike well and avoid those pitfalls around every corner.
The "speed" will come once you get comfortable and in touch with the bike.
