This is the smallest Friday ride I have ever went with (I actually like the smaller groups better). There is a scooter group that rides Wednesdays usually 20+ riders. A Thursday group that rides FAST. It's a smaller group and really not appropriate for smaller bikes or 2 up. Then there is a Friday group which is slower, usually some 300cc bikes or 2 up riders. I like this group best.
The scooter group is actually almost 50% big 300/350cc scooters. If I ride with them I stick with them until lunch and the drinking starts and ride home with a buddy rather than sticking with the group. The big bike groups are good about non drinking. The scooter group isn't. They seem to do a normal ride until lunch then it becomes a afternoon bar crawl which I have never stuck around for.
There is kind of a core group of guys you will see across the groups on different bikes. So I always know a couple guys. But the Friday group is the only one I'm really a regular with.
But most of my riding is still with my buddy that has the same Africa Twin as me.
There is a track about 8 miles from here that does track days for about 50 bucks and that Thursday group does track days regularly but I haven't done one.
These are all expat groups with regular visitors like myself sprinkled in. I started going with these groups just to learn new roads but really like handing out with everybody now.
