Motorcycle groups and Jeep groups

[CourierDriver]

Many Motorcycle groups ride together,,Honda folks, Harley folks and Yamaha folks,,, Jeep folks I have notice take their doors off and ride in jeep groups,,its fun.......................never have I witnessed a group of standard sedan folks on group rides,,,its just not done usually....................cars are boring most of the time, imho,,,motorcycle groups are happy people and it appears the jeep folks are too....Jeep folks even have Jeep Camps, cool. Cars folks not so much...well maybe corvette folks have fun ...ok, im done..

People with cars are embarrassed to be driving with Jeeps.

We have several car clubs that have weekly drives and meets at the local AW, always cruises for charity, weekends are for cruising and cars and coffee.

Once I was driving my mom somewhere, and we got passed by a big group motorcycles, all riding together. She said "Well, that's just stupid!"

I asked her why.... She said "They could have all just ridden together if one of them had a minivan or something". I replied, saying they could then all talk about how much fun they'd be having if they had brought their motorcycles.

There are smaller, more local gatherings as well.

Fun fact - the Nissan crowd will almost always let a Toyota / Jeep ride with them if someone vouches for them. It almost never extends the other way. Notice the wrangler midway in the bottom row.

The Jeep likely has to promise to try very hard not to show up all the Nissan whatevers on the trail.

They have to promise not to cry when there Wrangler with $50K of aftermarket parts installed by some shop somewhere gets shown up by a 15 year old Xterra some guy improved with parts they made themselves.

Daughter gets all kinds of waves from her fellow Jeepsters on the road. Hers is pink like this one.

 

[JohnnyG]

Yeah, I remember the old Jeep wave!
Do they still do that?

Back in the 70s and early 80s I had a new 1974 R60/6 and the club back then was BMWOA....BMW owners of America...

Yes.

My Jeep is a nice weather vehicle, sees less than 3000 miles a year. Every time I go to drive it after winter I have to think for a minute about why all these people are waving at me.

I see all sorts of groups in the mountains on a warm summer weekend. Harley groups, Sportbike groups, Jeep groups, hopped-up import groups, Porsche groups, Mustang groups (they seem to have a penchant for ending up in a ditch...), etc.

The Wrangler in the photo is a pretty stock looking TJ which would have no problems running with the modded Xterras it's lined up with. I own both , the Xterra is on loan to daughter. A highly modded Xterra can run with a mild Jeep. A stock Xterra gets left behind by a stock Wrangler. The IFS just holds the Xterra back. I like both but the Jeep is just better offroad. You would never see a blinged out mall crawler Jeep lined up for a trail run at Moab.

You're right but this photo isn't an example of it.
