Got to agree with Badger, nothing against the bikes personally if thats your thing then fair play (wouldn't have one personaly even if it was given to me, slow noisy ugly things) but the majority of riders are just f*****g idiots, too much money, seen "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro man" on the telly (top film by the way), done a two week training course, bought a bike, bought the "uniform" and think there cool, can't ride, don't ride much anyway and are just total tossers on the whole.....
Having said all that i do big mileages with an HD rider, who rides all year round and can hussle when he needs to without all the macho rubbish and is a decent bloke.
Have to disagree with the Wing comment as well, rode with one in Germany a few years ago (ex racer, and an ex-pat living over there) and blow me could ride!!!!

On the way back from the RBLR1000 last year i stopped at a garage just south of Northampton, i'd ridden about 1800 miles in the last 72 hours in pouring rain for about half off it, had very little sleep, unshaven, very tired, bike was filthy, on the forcourt were six shiney HD's, filled up with fuel and went into pay, as i went threw the doors into the Costa coffee area i made eye contact with one of these HD idiots, went something like this- "Hey Buddy (why do they all think there yanks and why would you want to be? ?), nice bike when you going to buy a real one" "I own a real bike mate just on my way back from John O Groats, done about 2000 miles this weekend......... where you guys been today?" Silence, went and paid for me petrol and left.

The "lost" appear to have returned. Thought they were just "fading away" . . .
