I am posting this twice, just so those Harley owners can gripe at me.

I need some feedback, please.

From old friends to people stopping me outside stores; people keep complimenting my Maxim and then ask if I will go riding with them.

I respectfully accept their phone number and say I will try to find time.

The fact is: I like cruising alone. Just me, God, and the wind in my hair!
I am wrong for this?

These people usually own a Harley or Ninja. Something shiny or new.
I personally think that Harley owners just want to be seen on the bike. It seems to be all show to them. A way to boost their ego. While I simply like to have fun on my Maxim. No set path or group of people to slow me down. I do not care who sees me riding. It is all about me having a good time.

Again. I am wrong for this?

Thanks for your imput B)

I am with you all the way. I like to go riding when i want to without calling a bunch of people and working around their schedules. There is nothing like enjoying the outdoors on your bike all alone. I am not saying that riding in groups doesn't have its positive aspects either. But I prefer the solo ride.

AHOOooooooo!!!!!!!!!! I'm a lone wolf too - have no interest in going where others want to go. The whole point to me of motorcycling is to have ME time. Some of my buddies love nothing better than to go down to the local Thursday night coffee shop scene and go look at chrome, and how shiny they can makes their bikes.
No thanks.

Cheers,
John

Well time to add my 2 cents i rise a lot by myself due to the nature of the beast. That said i only trust 4 people to ride with one being my uncle[rode hair scrambles in my teen years with him] and the other three i consider brothers and have known them for a few years. We also share the same riding style as one built his harley from the frame up ,one has an r6,and the other a shadow 1100 but we rarely get to ride together a lot and if we do its just two of us. And we love hitting the back roads and the old county roads. down here in south east ohio we usually ride to lake erie and back and such. :ph43r:

l guess im a bi-rider....but if l do ride in a group, l go at my own pace. If they dont like it then im just as happy to ride solo.
