We were on a ride once, a Poker Run, I believe, if memory serves, it was the Ahn Run. After putting around with the Club for a while, me and another member decided to break off from the pack and exercise a little throttle speed. We walked up to the Acting Road Captain and told him we were going to break off from the Club on the Interstate, he said OK. Now in hindsight, the correct thing to do was to Tell him we were breaking off right then and there and just gone. Instead we rolled out with the rest of the pack, as we hit the top of the ramp I went full throttle as did my compatriot. What we didn't realize at the time was that there was a lot of pent up speed in the club. As I passed over the Thames River I was at triple digits and leading the way, in a flash I was passed by two other members, Rick and Bub, they went past like I was sitting still. We arrived back at the poker runs starting point and it turned out we had 99% of the Club riders with us. The Acting Road Captain, when he arrived, said it looked like fighters taking off after a bogie, everyone went by him, except one member with his girl friend. The funniest part about the entire incident was when they arrived, he parked his bike, walked over to us all pissed off and yelled,"What the F$%K was That?!!!
