I've ridden with The Ruff Ryders and The Christian Motorcycle Association, there's a different kind of vibe between the two groups. To say the least :lol
Ruff Ryder's Anthem https://g.co/kgs/vMc42L
Ruff Ryders are mostly Sportbike riders predominantly African American, they like to pull dangerous stunts but they're generally respectful of outsiders as long as you don't mean them any harm. There are a number of LEOs in their midst, they all know who they are and are trusted members.
CMA is a, well, pretty self explanatory. Christian organization of motorcycle enthusiasts who gather for fellowship. Very family friendly events. Good group of people.
Ruff Rhyders. Saw something like that in the new Rocky movie. Yes?
Those guys look like they are all from the same litter! I’m an old dog and look nothing like them so I’d never fit in.
and I don’t know how to ride on my front wheel! I’ll bet riding in a formation with them would be a hoot! For a minute anyway.
Yeah, I've yet to get the back tire up on the S83
Shed a couple hundred pounds, steepen that rake by 15-20 degrees, put another disc on the wheel, and add 4 or 5 pots to the calipers and it makes it a different game [emoji106]
I was friends with the chapter president, he liked me because I always took good care of his machine at the dealership. Riding with them all the captains knew who I was from him, so everyone else kept on the their "best behavior"
the most anyone got up to was pulling wheelies from the back to the front of the pack on the highway. I've heard stories of them getting close and trying to grab each other's brakes. I had my CBR, but with the wife on the back, didn't get all crazy.
They had a couple events at the dealership while I was working, one was a "loudest pipes" contest, someone was on Teddy's (the president's) custom 'busa and decided to roast the back tire. He was PISSED! Since I was the porter there they asked me to detail all the burnt rubber out of the wheel well. After I was done he wanted to tip me. I tried to say "no, it's ok, just doing my job" he pulls out this
thick wad of cash and goes "do you think I'm hurting for money?"
He bought a used nice GSXR1000 and had the shop do a bunch of custom stuff to it, he didn't even want it for himself. He said he
might ride it once in a while if he felt like it, but mostly to let other people use it. He's a good dude
I ride tail gunner for most of our rides except the ones I am in charge of as Lead RC..
