Every year the local riding community has a "newbie ride day", where newbies are taken on a typical twisty route at a very slow pace (speed limit or below). It's a lot of fun for everyone.
The final count was near 200 bikes, split into almost 25 different groups. There's no one picture of everyone, but here's one of the starting point. The other side of the road had just as many bikes.

As usual I had the only VN750. They are pretty rare, I've only seen one on the twisties, and two around town (don't know if they were all the same bike). Still, our bike absolutely OWNES the technical roads! When the road gets tight, the Vulcan comes alive.

Over 200 riders and only one mishap, someone lowsided a sharp downhill left (not in my group, fortunately). They were ok (ATGATT) and their bike was too.
Take care of the newer riders in your area, we want them safe for years to come. :rockon:
