[QUOTE="crewof1, post: 6006, member: 245"] I have a couple of old friends that got Harleys around the time I got my FJR. We went on a ride together, which went OK, I was showing them the ride and making sure I kept them in site behind me. It was slow, but I was patient. I pulled off at an overlook, maybe 2 or 3 miles from our destination, to warn them about an upcoming hairpin curve to watch out for. They stopped and I told them of the hazard. They then took off their gear, fired up the smokes and laid down under a tree, while I sat on my still-running bike! Ten minutes later, we did the last couple of miles, then I had to sit and listen for a half hour about how uncomfortable I made them, how I was leading too fast, etc. :erm: Well, they do not call me to ride anymore. Seems they are more about "the destination" and I am more about "the ride". Their idea of a destination is anywhere there are more cruisers to look at and beer to drink. Then when they have had enough, usually several hours, they ride home the same way they came. I enjoy RIDING my bike. I could care less what destination I have as long as I have fun on the way there and back. I find it boring to discuss ad nauseum which Harley models have which options, or who has the most chrome, etc. I mean cruisers can be cool, but they are not everything.:bordum: OK, rant off. Thanks for listening. crewof1 :goatee: [/QUOTE]
