I think in most states it's illegal to pass more than one vehicle at a time. If so and your buddy was hit, he may have been ticketed on top of it.

Sounds like ya'lls day did suck. 3 of us went out New Year's Day in NC and then 4 of us went out this past weekend...so far...so good.

Well except for the fact that the threads started showing on my rear tire so now I need to buy rubber.

Replacing them before the vertical threads start showing is the coward's way out.

That's what I was thinking too...I guess the older I get the less I want to push it.

The group i usually ride with had a mixed first ride of 09...

looks like some of the members are just breaking off on their own to avoid the drama caused by a few cry babies that refuse to learn how to go around corners faster than the yellow sign before it says...

Yup, I know... and if there were a cop there w/ radar, passing too many cars at once wouldn't have been the only ticket we got for that incident.

My buddy in HS got a ticket for passing like 4 cars at once....never mind the fact that it was also a double yellow. Whoops.
