Group Pleasure with Jay Slomka
What’s the difference between a ‘group’ and
a ‘bunch’? Do you have fun when you join a group ride, or do you avoid
it? If the answers are not in the affirmative, maybe there’s something
missing. Group riding, when done properly and safely can be one of the
best times to be had on 2 wheels! Come in and let’s discuss the
differences and similarities all of you have concerning group riding with
our own ERC and BMF. We think you’ll be surprised! |
1:00pm-2:00pm |

Jay Slomka Co-Riders
Who are these people back there, hollering
in our ears? What do they have to do with anything? Isn’t it just “Sit
down—Hold on—Shut up—Enjoy the ride”?
Anyone who subscribes to that is missing
all the enjoyment of the 2-UP experience! Let me paraphrase, “If the
Co-Rider ain’t happy, ain’t NOBODY happy!!” Let’s explore what goes on
back on the pillion seat, how they make, or break, an excursion, how they
affect you, the rider, and how you can both enjoy things more! Be sure to
bring your Co-Rider with you, if possible.Be sure to bring your Co-Rider
with you! |

sounds of the 70's, including greats such as K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Earth
