7 Deadly Sins of Group Riding

So, I ran across this article and as I read it I had to admit, I've been guilty of all seven at some point in time. I thought it was a good read, I hope you all enjoy it as well.

We're probably all guilty of some at some point or another... I've probably headed down some tracks I shouldn't have with a group in tow. A certain pass in the Rockies comes to mind.

Only 7 deadly sins? 

How about these?
1.  The tail gunner.  He rides so close to your tail you think he is riding on the pillion
2.  The farmer.  Gets bored waiting for the group to catch up so he takes a spin through the farmers field
3.  The mechanic.  He want to "fix" something while riding that can be done when the ride is over.  Example, "Let me adjust my handlebars.  It will only take a minute."
4.  The delay.  Everyone is ready to go but him.  He has to finish a cigarette, get another drink of water, take another bite of food and is the last to put on his helmet after every stop.
5.  Mr. Open Sesame.  He believe private property is only private if you are caught.  States things like, "the road is on my GPS so it is public".

3.  The mechanic.  He want to "fix" something while riding that can be done when the ride is over.  Example, "Let me adjust my handlebars.  It will only take a minute."

Does it count if it needs fixed to safely get down the trail?

Only if you just pulled an epic KLR surprise wheelie across a Kansas highway to end on your back with a ninja like move to get back to your feet. And not seem to even look back for the KLR as if it will get up on it's own. 
My son has told that to all his friends and they look at him like he is an idiot. But he still laughs.

What happens in the Flint Hills, stays in the Flint Hills 

#1 Losing the rider behind you
#2 Following Ajayhawkfan on railroad tracks

#37.2: "How far can that mud go? surely it has to end right around that corner!"

The tracks were removed.

Reminds me of a time we were in miles of mud up by Junction City, we ended up getting up on the tracks to get through the remaining mile of thick & sloppy clay mud. We only had to dodge one train... I didn't know I could run that fast in MX boots!
