[QUOTE="Windjammer, post: 6069, member: 128"] Amen bro, I'm with ya on that. Got no problem with the cruiser crowd. Whatever turns yer crank. But I find it challenging to ride in ANY large group (defined as more than 5 bikes total, for me). Mostly because it's hard to find that many people who all want to ride at the same speed, stop for gas and rest at the same intervals, stop for the same attractions, etc. I went on a big charity run once, mostly Harleys and I had a Kawi LTD750. That one actually went OK 'cuz we were such a huge group (100's of bikes) that a police escort was required, and the group stayed together. But I've been on those rides where some poor guy gets left a little behind, pushes his limits to keep up, then CRASHES. I usually ride mid pack or maybe a little further up, so I never see these, but I hate being a part of something that leads to this kind of crap. So I prefer to ride alone or in small, easy to manage groups of like minded riders. Easier, safer and more fun. Public response to my new '05 has been very positive so far. Had lots of "nice bike" comments at gas stations by bikers and cagers alike, people really seem to like the blue color, haven't had a single negative comment yet. Kinda nice... :cownoy: [/QUOTE]
