I always fuel up before a ride

I hate cell phones, I have three for work purposes, But I never text on a ride or take my work cell with me.

I have never seen SOA, but I have seen some clips here and there.... LAME

I will usually ride at about 80-85 2800 to 3000 rpms on the highways down here in Mexico way, back in Home I keep it at 75-80. not a big difference but on the backroads and roads I do not know, I am normally at the speed limit.

I do not like to ride in large groups of people I do not know becuase I am not sure of their skill level, not that I am Johnny Biker, but I have road in groups before with people I do not know and sometimes there are alot of guys for whatever reason trying to show off and what not. Just enjoy the bike and the ride. No need to be gunning the throttle at lights and riding up someones ****. If one dude screws up, it could cost the rest of the riders their ride or worse.

Ihave chandged my slips twice on my limited looking for the right ones, got Monster rounds on it now with Fuel moto ceramic coated headers witha a t-max and FM AIR on the limited and SERT with V&H trude duals and Klock werks slips (LOUD) with HD big AIR on my road king

I have put some custom parts on the Limited and not much else on the road king, I will be changing out the bars at the end of the month the stock bars suck!!!!! I have HCC 14 apes on the limited and love it.

Sometimes I wave, sometimes I do not. I have found that there are some states where everyone waves no matter what type of scoot your on. Maine for example is like that in my opinon. Here in Mexico, not to many dudes wave.

I can tell a metric from an HD pretty much right away.

I think my neighbors hate me cuase my daily ride is my road king and it is loud. I leave for work about 6:30 in the morning. I try not to be to lud with the bike. I dont rev it up, but I dont think it matters. It is still loud. I feel bad but oh well, get I'll get over it as soo as I het the highway.

I don't group ride often, but I do text my location to my wife, so they have a place to start looking for me if I don't come home.

I don't get the showing up with no fuel!

Repetitive cell phone usage at every stop and then we have to listen to your conversation as you're checking up on your wife.
Step away from the group...please.
Or you're at a rest stop at the side of the road and some pervert in the group decides to take a **** right in front of the ladies that are riding with us like something a dog would do.
Step away from the group...please.

Gives the ladies something to jeer at ....applaud, or make fun of!

#10, if you wait until you get to the group before gassing up, at least you have someone to hold your gas cap

#8, going fast is FUN....
