I prefer solo, but I do ride with others occasionally.

Solo, I'm not real comfortable with the median intelligent levels of large groups.

I tried a bunch of group rides this summer.. some were ok, but most sucked. Overnighter to Delmarva? Definitely never do that in a group again. WOW. The trend is back to solo. Too many people means too much drama. Me and Mama is perfect most of the time, but some times, just good to be by myself. More freedom.

I'm a solo guy, myself. I like riding with my wife or with a friend, not groups.

My bike is not set up for passengers and I rarely ride with a group. It's nice to ride with others sometimes and talk about the ride when you stop to eat or whatever. I like talking to other riders and checking out bikes, but I usually ride on my own schedule and meet up with them somewhere.
Like others have mentioned, the key to an enjoyable group ride is having everyone on the same page as far as riding style (speed) and frequency of stops, etc.

I get something enjoyablefrom solo riding and riding with groups- just different things.

I like the social/friendship aspect of riding with a group and meeting new folks as well. One thing about Harley riders- there's usually an interesting story or 10 to be told.

I like the solitude aspect of riding solo where I can go where I want, when I want and at whatever pace I feel like riding that particular day.

I almost always ride solo. Just find it more peaceful that way. You want to stop,you stop. You come to a cross roads,whichever way you happen to be leaning,that's the way you go.

I ride my bike for everything. Going to work, errands, etc... When I'm out and about I usually have a group with me so I'd say I'm about 50/50.
