Heck ,most of the people I do ride the most often with are on HDs. Never been an issue. I'm in the CVMA and the predominant choice seems to be HD. I probably give them more sh×! than I get.

My most common riding buddy rides a 16 Ultra. He's a good rider, but sometimes he'll tell me to go on and not let him slow me down. I just wait for him before the next road change.
