It is always a bit of a toss up when you are trying to plan a motorcycle trip with other riders over the internet.
Over the years I have learned to not put too much faith in any one internet person that you are supposed to meet up with.
It is a good idea to have a backup plan or backup plans in case the person turns out to be a flake.
There are a lot of factors that go into finding a good riding partner:
1. Trip Budget, hotels or camping
2. Morning Wakeup habits, does one guy sleep in way more than the other
3. Packing up in the morning, I am super slow at getting my tent, etc packed
4. Stopping for pictures and food
5. Riding offroad versus pavement
6. How many miles/ kms to ride a day
7. Speed that you ride at. On my last TAT trip I met up with a 22 year old guy on an xr650. I wasn't expecting to be slower riding on the trail than him, but I was.
