And I can totally understand the physical inability thing; injuries and stuff, no problems, no condemnation. But claiming a clutch is too tedious to pull seems weak, like belly-achin' about the heat in Texas or the cold in Massachusetts; it's the nature of the beast.Actually, we've got a few folks with such as ankle injuries that won't let them work the shifter. It was go AE or give up riding. I'll take the AE thanks! Of course this doesn't apply to me, I just couldn't pass up the deal and wanted to give it a try.
Props to you on the bicycle escort thing. I did the Hotter Than Hell 100 last year as an escort. No thanks, not ever again. I can't think of a more boring way to spend time on my motorcycle. I'm sure the bicyclists are happy there's lots of folks like you out there to volunteer.
Thank you, I love doing that ride (MS150/Ride MS). I don't think the HTH100 is a charity ride so I'm not sure I'd be motivated to do it... As for the riding, yeah, it's a bicycle ride, not a motorcycle ride, so not very entertaining for the motorcycle aspect but when the riders are giving up so much to help a charitible event it really feels good to help them. I think we could always do to have more motorcyclists who understand that it's not a poker run...
