""#24) Why can't other riders keep up a 75mph constant speed? Maybe it's too fast for non-RoadGlide Harleys? ""

Maybe they just don't want to go that speed??

I ride with people I enjoy riding with and are responsible for their actions.

I don't ride with those that are so self centered they think the world revolves around them.

As far as spelling, I think you should try to communicate as well as you can, and especially if your posting technical data.

10] showing up for ride not fueled up.
I don't get it either, and our normal meet up is right next to a station, if not for the station store, we could see them fill up from the meeting place.

9]every stop,texting or calling wife/gf
That would be stupid, I can just turn my head slightly and tell her what I have to say.

8]going 100mph every group ride
Sometimes I like fast, sometimes I don't.

7]never changing exhaust, at least get slip on's
I have generic slip-ons now, but I'm actually looking for something now with better tones but lesser volume. I leave at 5am, not sure my neighbors appreciate that.

6]buying new bike, then getting license to ride
I know people that have a bike and still don't have a license, but they ride anyway. Not having the license doesn't mean they don't know how to ride. I bet we all can find many people WITH a license that can't ride just as easily.

5]waving to every bike
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Guess it depends on my focus at the moment.

4]customizing bike to the point of non ride able
To each their own.

3]the show SOA.
The wife and I watch it. It is entertainment, as any other form, some like it some don't. Apparently someone does or it would have been canceled by now.

2]thinking a Honda or whatever is a Harley
As in changing badging? That I don't understand.

number 1 thing I dont understand: why my neighbors like me.
I assume mine like me because I'm a likable person. Well except at 5am in the morning. (See #7).

I probably shouldn't post in this thread but here go's:

1: your probably exactly like they are before you put on your riding gear.

2. I've seen some cool "American" bikes that aren't Harley s

3. To each his own.

4. Some custom bikes are better to look than ride. That's why they have shows.

5. then don't wave back. It's as simple as that.

6. depends, if they knew how to ride before they got the bike.

7. This one is absurd. 90% of the guys on here have the same exact exhaust, it gets old seeing the same bikes making the same noise. be original.

8. I ride hard, so I like it fast.

9. Sometimes you need to call home to let the wife know what time to have dinner ready.
