Everyone knows what soccer is. Most people know that its proper name is Association Football. Most people also know what rugby is but perhaps don't know that its proper name is Rugby Football. And fewer people know that the two sports emerged from a common one, football. (The story that rugby formed from soccer because of Webb Ellis picking up a soccer ball and running with it... sorry: it's patently false). Anyhow, this group is about playing both games. You don't have to play both, however. Bu …

My goal in starting this group is to meet motorcycle riders like myself who would enjoy a little more adventure and spontaneity, and a little less structure and formality, in some of their rides. This is not meant to be a riding club -- more of a message board or clearinghouse; and I am not suggesting chaos -- I will impose guidelines regulating membership and participation. The group is intended only to create an opportunity for like-minded bikers to meet-up. Whether members ultimately ride tog …
