I grew up with early Japanese motorcycles. Most were good for a year or two before they needed serious work. They were no worse or better than their European counterparts. In short, motorcycle manufacturers put those tool cases in the bikes for a reason. You will need them. Today my bike has more electronics on it than most airplanes but it still needs to be maintained and or fixed. Fixing is a relative term especially when you find yourself pushing your bike 3 miles down the road because it stopped running because of a fouled plug. Now, I always carry “stuff” with me whether it is warmer clothes, food, water or a tire repair kit or simple hand tools, and yes, a set of spark plugs, and yes, it happened to me and I didn’t have a spare plug....

Addicts need their little fixes. It's pretty pathetic.

Regarding the noob, i've experienced and been told that it's best to put him (or her) right behind the leader. Having the slowest rider up front dictates the groups overall speed, so it's at the noobs comfort level. If the noob is at the back, he might be urged to drive faster than his skill, just to keep with the faster guys in front. So, always stack the pack from slowest to fastest (except the leader and the sweep of course).

My Dad is the "ADV" guy on his FJR1300. My God am I grateful for him. He has room for all the stuff we need on the ride! Water, snacks, space for an extra jacket in case it gets cold.. I get to ride with my Dad on his dorky touring bike, and I love it.

Preferably go out by myself but enjoy an encounter with another bike, playing for a few miles overtaking each other. Then going separate ways without stopping and only a quick chat if you have to stop at lights.

I've also had some great leaders who were much faster than me, but communicated well and knew how to stop and catch everyone up, made the ride a lot of fun for everyone.

Older crowd also goes at a pace that I can actually relax and enjoy the ride.

So far I've never seen any stunters in a group ride, fortunately. And the noobs are usually in the front, right behind the leader, so that the leader can keep an eye on them and make sure he's not going too fast for the new riders. So the second bike determines the speed of the group. I'm usually in the back, I think the best position is the last position. You can see all riders in front of you and see what they're doing, and you have more variety in speed. If the whole group can't make it in one go across an intersection or a traffic light, then it's good when the fastest riders are in the back, they will catch up easier.

Group rides are fun. Just do your thing, you will be fine.

I'm the noob. Only been riding for 3 years, but there was a groupi rode with a few times and they always put me up front👍. Unless there was a straight stretch they wanted to pull, then i got left behind, but they ALWAYS waited for me to catch up.

The noob is absolutely spot on. Man, kinda embarrassing getting called out so picture perfectly in a video. Lol. Though it was a 85 virago 700, IIRC. So id had my license for all of a few weeks when my dad decides were going on a ride with a group of churches for a charity thing. I get put in the no2 position, so nobody to watch but the lead. I didnt know how to stagger myself, but i remembered that pictute from the study material I had to read to get my license. So I happily park myself, staggered, all of 2 feet behind the leader. He starts out at like 60, but by the end were ripping 75 everywhere and im loving it. At the end of the ride, I get "talked too" by all the experienced riders who got left behind. Turns out the lead kept speeding up to try and get a gap between us. Lol. But 17 year old me just thought he wanted to go and have fun 🤷‍♂️

Another dvantage to meeting up at a filling station is that you can all use the same pump, and only one guy gets hosed by the hose regular, and everybody else can get a full tank of super.

Expect him to pop the most illegal wheelies while wearing shorts and sandals. Just to get the nearest officer to pull YOU over and then run away on his leaf blower of a motorcycle.

Funny that in the groups I participate here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Noobs are put right behind the leader, mixed with more experienced drivers but always at the first half of the pack.
