I have my own friends that I ride with, I tend to avoid rides organised on forums because there always seems to be an ego there that's busy playing the one-up-man game or some other random bullshit. The majority of forum riders are decent good people. It's those few that annoy the crap out of me.
And I can do without the aggro.
You and me both. I'm extremely careful what posts I click on, because, damn, if these people behaved like this in real life, it's little wonder they're busy carrying on like a pork chop on the Internet as if they have no friends. The Real Life or Jersey Shore actor candidates if I ever saw them.
Like I said before, the vast majority of forum members appear to be good decent people. It's the extremely foolish, uneducated, vocal minority with an inflated sense of ability, knowledge and entitlement that have pretty much killed every motorcycle forum I've ever participated in.
