I'm still too much of a newb, so NO. Besides, I have a girlfriend who, when we were teenagers, went riding with a couple of friends, and they got a ways ahead of her. Well, she ended up wiping out bad. Her friends thought she had just turned around and gone home; didn't go back to look for her. She left her bike and literally crawled five and a half miles home on her knees. Traffic was scarce where we lived in Durango, Colorado (Rafter J). She was a mess by the time she got to my door.
So, even if you do ride with other people, make sure they aren't like these guys; or you end up riding alone anyway and could also end up like my girlfriend. I am thankful she is still one of my very closest friends.

This is exactly why I won't ride alone. Of course, Inda and the hubby taught me that right off the bat.
Do you ride solo?

Besides riding alone I often camp way out in the boonies in my f250 4x4 with pop up camper. I carry an Emergency Personal Rescue Beacon (eprb) that's linked by satellite to the national rescue org. Spendy at $400-500 but if I ever need it it will be worth it. I prefer this setup to the cheaper SPOT system.
