They have a unique level of solidarity that can best be summed up as, "Every man for himself." Riding with these guys is like being out with strangers who you will not have a conversation with until the end of the day.<BR/><BR/>Other guys I ride with, Dave Oehler, Rob Haut, or Jay Scales, hang far enough back to give you the impression that you are the boss. Only Corey Lyba (BMW R1200GS) ever gives the impression he listens to me, though he usually responds with a shrug.<BR/><BR/>I would love to have the opportunity to include you in one of my ride reports. The dialogue would probably go something like: <BR/><BR/>"Did you have a route planned for today's ride," I asked Sharon.<BR/><BR/>"Listen, Fatboy. If I wanted you to know, I'd have told you," she replied. "Try and keep up."<BR/><BR/>That's about what I hear from these other guys.<BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>JackJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-29121815580995130592008-05-02T11:17:00.000-04:002008-05-02T11:17:00.000-04:00Jack,Thanks for the info on the nesting utensils. ...Jack,<BR/>Thanks for the info on the nesting utensils. I will look into that. The ones I have are three times the size and not nearly as cute. The cabins sound reasonable and comparable with those in this area. I'm really liking this idea and have decided to give it a try. <BR/><BR/>Regarding riding with others. I agree with finding a good match with the "style" of riders and, meshing of personalities, etc. Seems like a lot of work. It's mainly why I ride alone. Still, your stories are filled with such vibrancy and insightful exchanges with others that it makes me want to join in. Than again, I know me. I'm a hard one to hang with 'cause I want to do what I want to do. Riding really is the one thing I do that doesn't require me to compromise or negotiate with others--well, except for cagers, which is more than enough. <BR/><BR/>My husband has signed up for msf classes. At some point, when he regains his skills, we might do a day ride together, but we will not take trips. No matter how much he begs. Day rides. A weekender for those rare, special occasions but that's it! <BR/>later.Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-73388899240045982752008-05-02T09:41:00.000-04:002008-05-02T09:41:00.000-04:00Dear Sharon:In two of these pictures, I have three...Dear Sharon:<BR/><BR/>In two of these pictures, I have three metal implements that are a knife, fork, and spoon, that nest on each other and make a handy package. The knife is on a napkin. Is that what you're talking about?<BR/><BR/>The cabin cost us $50 a night... But they are rented by the week during the summer. There is a lock on the door and this park is patrolled and very social. There were at least 40 or 50 people in the cabins around us. <BR/><BR/>We are doing another trip like this in the fall. Plus, I think we are going to do a four-day ride to West Virginia at the end of the month. We are looking at different cabins there. Cabins that are fully modern but which come with a much heftier price tag. <BR/><BR/>Finding people to spend a riding weekend can be tough. There are riding styles to consider, and the objectives of the people in the group. Somew are purely social, while others would rather get the miles down, while the remainder is interested in pictures. Me, I like daydreaming.<BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>Jack<BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>JackJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-27567269798422839282008-05-01T23:28:00.000-04:002008-05-01T23:28:00.000-04:00Loved this post!

In fact, I want to do it again right after Labor day with a couple other Mac-Pac guys too.<BR/> <BR/>I have a thing about seafood. I always hope it will be fabulous. That famous epicurean, Dick Bregstein, is holding a number of rides this summer to find the best crabs, crab cake, and shrimp in a 250-mile radius. This is going to be really exciting and I hope he invites me on some of these trips. He's pretty tight with Pete Buchheit too. I'm told Pruit's in Rock Hall is the best, and that it's Sambo's in Delaware. <BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>JackJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-73865086268100454242008-04-28T17:27:00.000-04:002008-04-28T17:27:00.000-04:00Dear MotoNomad:You couldn't ask for better company...Dear MotoNomad:<BR/><BR/>You couldn't ask for better company than Pete Buchheit.
