That is generally the perception, but it isn't always true. Check out the odometers on a lot of those bikes. "Bike Night" people are often the sort of guy that buys a new bike every two years and sells his old one with only a handful of miles. Look how many nicely accessories bikes appear in Craigslist with less than a thousand miles on it. There is absolutely no skill whatsoever required to ride fast on an open freeway.

As far as not staying back with you this guys BOUGHT their bikes as an act of conformity, they aren't guys who are likely to stand out against the group-think.
