Public roads right? So you can't drive to the same areas as they are, why? I would of just followed them and watched the leader have a hissy fit. Yep,Public road.Ride at the back, let all the riders know you will assist them with any repairs needed. You are a member of this form and you drive a hi end vespa so who better qualified.
actually, before knowing what it was, I was gonna tell the group of riders aboot 49ccScoots.com, and that they needed to join the forum! They missed oot!

Not to stick up for the group, but I will add this.
I am willing to bet the leader of the group(tour master) is responsible for all the riders(renters). He was basically babysitting all of them. I'm sure there are insurance issues as well. I would say maybe he could of tried a different approach. I sure the people in the group had no issues with you being there, hell you were all on scooters. Think it be a different story if a group Hell's Angles rolled up on them, then I could see the leader get a little pissy.

Wow, if I were out for a casual ride, and just happened on some assholes who can't appreciate a friendly hello wave and say stupid shit like that. I'd probably ride along with them, but stay back 500 feet. What are they gonna do? Charge me an entry fee for just happening to go that exact same way?
Would be the best real life Troll ever.

Where I live. In the middle of nowhere! They don't respect anything under 1000cc.

They also discriminate against the elderly (like I am). If you are over 65 you cannot ride with them.

The mature thing to do would have been to say: You're talking to me all wrong... It's the wrong tone. You do it again and I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron. Especial appropriate if you were at the grand canon.

Yelling at you Was the wrong approach. Perhaps just saying to you I'm doing a tour, and would appreciate you giving new rider's space would of worked better. Reminds me of the time I got stuck between a group of seven Harleys near Guildford. They did not appreciate the ring ding, ding of the Jog. Never said anything, but every roundabout gave me evil looks. Harley guys need a reality check sometimes. The actual biker guys seem to be a little cooler than the middle-aged balding accountant who watches sons of anarchy over and over again. At least watch some real '70s biker movies! Like easyrider. That should realign there view to the 2-wheel mentality- were all in the same danger from these cagers. I bet if I rolled up on this I wouldn't get any trouble from a Harley rider! Or any tour guides haha

Can't say I've been really into most moto movies. I think The Last Indian is prob my favorite hollywood movie. Long Way Round and documentary style are the best though IMO. Stuff that is actually about bikes is more my style, rather than crazy kids that local squares don't want around.
