Well said. 

As long as they have a complete Tool Kit and can change a Fuse im good. 

 

But honestly the Guys I ride with pretty much have similar opinions as me. Not lefty not righty kinda right in the middle. But I wouldn't hang out with a full blown "woke" Libtard either. I also doubt any of those clowns around here would even own a Snowmobile in CT.  

Sure I ride with Arctic Cat guys all the time. 

I refuse to ride with anyone who is going to borrow my tool kit and force me to diagnose their fucked up sled issues.

Steep and deep are all retards.

I would say I have to agree with EvilBird...while I ride with many people with diverse opinions, I don't think I could hang with someone whom openenly calls for the mutilation of children, a bridge too far.

Pretty sure outside of the real rare and unique freak those people only exist in the imagination of some confused individuals.

As for who I would ride with?  Can't handle really slow riders that are way behind all the time.  Jimwit for instance.

No

I cant risde with slow riders

I cant ride with drama queens ( or any queens for that matter )

I cant ride with a guy who wants to tune his sled at every stop

I cant ride in a large group , any over 4-5 things start to suck. Too much waiting and everything you need ( restaurant , gas ect becomes a pain in the ass.

15 mph barrel rolls aren't your thing ?

OK that's fucking funny 

no, I would not sled with Flowers 

 I can ride with figurative retards, not the literal ones. Have your sled ready to go and in good repair, keep the drinks to a minimum if we are at lunch and let’s have fun.  We have a fairly small core group of guys we ride with who are pretty able and can tackle.a wide variety of riding conditions.  That said not everybody is in to back country off trail riding which is what we like to do.

Only thing that would stop me from sledding with someone is if they did things like break club rules (off trail when not supposed to) or were really rude to other riders/groups.   I could care less what your politics are sledding as I can't hardly ever recall once talking about them at a pitstop.  

Wasn’t as much fun after my group quit.  People and their  rules.  
 

I ride and stay with Liberals when we ride SXS . Great people.  We know where each other stand, no need to get into politics.  Plenty of other things to talk about. Besides, people don’t generally act like complete assholes when they are not on the internet if they want to be invited to go again. 

Out of all the years out riding with my buds and other groups politics never really came up nor religion or any other hot topic like that. If it did it got squashed real quick. We are out to have a good time

Pretty much the same with our group.  Even with the crew I hang around with after a round of golf.  If politics are brought up, a few of us try to squash that discussion quickly.  Why ruin an otherwise enjoyable time?

I would assume AC does.

Everyone is a retard in his eyes.

 

 

Generally try to ride with people who have a similar riding skill level. Keeps the frustration down.

Be on time, be prepared, full tank of gas and have cash. Nothing else matters.

Hopefully in person,  you're not as uptight as  most your posts are.

Out west I'd draw the line with someone who is too careless with endangering themselves or others in the group.  Our group was out west some time ago (I wasn't along) and a new rider to the group for out west kept going off on his own in play areas.   They basically had to tell him do it again and your done with us.   He understood quickly and stayed with everyone.   

I’m a solo guy.  But I do like to ride with people. I don’t care about someone’s political and or social beliefs as long as they shut the fuck up about them. Either side. Just ride fast and smoke weed after.  Ain’t that hard. 

I have too many examples of dumb ass moves on a trail or riding in a group that get you "Off the Team" it would take too much time to list them out.

As stated above:

Similar riding requirements only flatlander.  Had a guy last year that got invited so it was his first time with our core group.  Guy that invited him gave him a background on how the group rides and general adult drinking habits while riding.   Second day of riding had a couple bloody Mary's at breakfast beers at the next stop and started passing guys within our group including the leader on the inside of corners.  The lead guy who invited him said we don't ride like that and if you do you're no longer invited.  Guy never rode with us after that.

Be on time, maintain your sled and have it ready, have good gear, ride at the leaders pace and if your going to drink through the day do it reasonable.
