Default Riding with 'Riders'

Hey, first time posting in this board. A couple days ago a bunch of guys from work who have sport bikes were talking about going to some back roads in the eastern South Carolina area. So I told them that I'd like to go and film and try out the roads myself. We head out around 12 and eventually hit the backroads. Pretty much never a cop and hardly a car on the road most hours of the day. Total there were six bikes and my s2k. A Honda 600rr, gsx-r 750, R6, Ninja (not sure which model), a Ducati and a 1000 v-twin. These roads are just sick. Awesome twisties and some really good strait aways. Needless to say I got left quite a few times. I was able to keep up in the twisties pretty well, but on the strait aways they left me like I was standing still. After passing through the backroads there's a on/off ramp thats shaped like a penis and two balls which we use as a personal track. Again, way out in the middle of nowhere and hardly any cars use the roads. I was able to park and watch the bikes race around the ramps and then got in on the action myself. After the ramps we headed home on the major highways and I have some great footage of 80 mph wheelies (These guys are sick ). On the way home (still on the highway) a Prelude (5th generation) with exhaust and body kit catches up and acts like he wants to play. I'm doing about 80 following the bikes, we both slow to wait for the bikes to gain distance and I drop it into 3rd. We both nail it and I pull on him up to 120 by which I have several lengths. I put on brakes and he catches up and give me the sign. He goes on ahead and I continue filming the bikes. Anyways, wanted to share my ride, thanks for reading.

Just a little update, yesterday we were all going to go out again and I was going to try and get some nice footage to post here, but my schedule got tied up and I had to back out. Anyways, the bikes all still went out and after a couple hours of riding were going home on highway 9 and two of them decided to race real quick (1000 v-twin, modded gsx-r 750). So they take off getting up to about 160 when they pass a cop sitting in the grass median. He didn't even have time to put on his blue lights and the two on the bikes immediatly pulled over and waited for him to catch up. The guy starts talking with them laughing because they had a camera mount on one of the bikes and asked them if they were filming. He told them to not ride side by side next time because it looked like they were racing and let them off .
