Hope you find the music fitting ---

Sounds like it was a pretty dangerous maneuver. I'd be interested to see that if anyone captured it.

That is the first batch to the set. A few of the photos were mislabelled as Justin's photos.

I was thinking this exact thing the days leading up to the cruise but didn't know how to word what we have to do to everyone!!

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking we needed to do, specially the last one! Pulling over to the side and hazards after a light work too!

Next crusie we shall def do this and talk bout it ^_^

Hope this next part doesn't come off negatively- it's merely a suggestion

I have a great deal of experience with leading motorcycle rides - and I think much of what we riders do applies to car group rides as well.

There only needs to be 1 single rule, and it's so simple to follow. EVERYONE need only be responsible for the 1 guy in their mirror..... simple as that.

I've lead groups of 25+ riders and as long as everyone follows this one simple rule - no one can get lost or split from the group. Faster people up front, slower people in the rear. (it helps a great deal if people position themselves in the queue appropriately from the beginning - especially on bikes cause the faster riders do indeed enjoy the twisties at speeds the slower/less experienced riders could not handle)

There is a PERFECT animation of this concept at the bottom of this page (I certainly don't ride a Hardley, but all the info on this page is golden)--http://www.sunsethog.com/groupRiding.html

It works so well for us riders, I can't see why it wouldn't work equally well for a large group of cars. - can't hurt to try it.

I would think a quick drivers meeting discussing the principle would be adequate.

It does require participation from everyone involved to work correctly :happy0180:
