Hello, COGers!!
I joined up on here because after years of looking at different bikes, and a serendipitous visit to Washington DC Craigslist, I found myself as the proud owner of a 2005 C10. The PO told me about COG, I came on here and saw the wealth of information, and decided to join.
This rally coming up will be not only my first COG Rally, but my first rally in general. With as many miles as I ride, I'm a solo, long distance rider (or with my best buddy) and commuter. I never really got into the social aspect of motorcycling, other than on forums online.
I've tried attending a few "bike nights" and went on ONE group ride (never again), but it wasn't really my vibe. Lots of bravado and engine revving and stunting.....
So I guess my main question is what can I expect from a COG Rally? What's the ratio of socializing to riding? How does it all work? Do we break off into different groups?
Give a newbie some tips and info about doing this!
I'll be coming solo, and I'm gonna want to go hit some twisties. Hard. If possible.
Love to hear what you all have to say, and see you all in August!
