On our ride today my girlfriend and I came up behind a group of 5 Harley riders. We got behind them right before my favorite set of twisties on our whole 115mile ride. However, not wanting to be a dick I decided not to pass them and just join the ride. Well, we ended up riding with them for about 30 miles and I learned two things about Harleys.
1) They are not made for cornering, we were going so slow I thought I was going to fall over. Oh yea, and you can forget about accelerating through turns, or with the particular riders anyway.
2) Their exhausts really, really please my ear. I thought they sounded great, and everyone looked like they were having a good time. I was in the staggered postion behind a female rider, she had the best bike of the bunch too.
All in all it was an enjoyable ride, although the my lady and I did have to poke a little fun at them by taking turns with no hands (we were just goin that slow). Keeping pace with them goin all out, and keeping the revs under 5,000. Imagine 5 Harley riders blipping the throttles at stop signs, and me in the back blippin my Holeshot.....I was crackin my self up, we were so out of place, her on the bright yellow 250:laughing :laughing
