Slow, conservative riders unite!

[Injun Joe]

Just got done reading another one of those threads. You know the ones I mean. "Ride it like you stole it." "Bat out of hell." "Why's this thing got a damned rev limiter?" etc.

I've said it before, I only like to look fast. Five to ten over the speed limit is my normal cruising speed on the highway. I love the old blues song that proclaims, "I'm built for comfort, not for speed."

All this causes me anxiety about riding with anyone else. Especially in our mountains or at get togethers like the one coming up.

Anyone else like me out there?

I don't let anyone dictate how I ride but me. If you are not comfortable riding with a particular group, then don't. But, don't let that stop you from attending a rally or enjoying the scenery. Go, have a good time, and enjoy the ride area by yourself if you have to. I enjoy the commeradery of a rally, but ride mostly by myself.

I agree. My days of fast and furious are mostly gone.

Joe - I'll ride with you. Like life - it's not the ultimate destination - it's the journey. I like scenery.

Count me in! Slow and enjoyable without body parts scraping

I've slowed down so much, a blue hair lady past me!

If I'm solo? Only the little old lady from Pasadena in her Super Stock Dodge gets by me - and that's only because I want to see the car and then the trooper can get her first!

KJ, could it be you've slowed down because you've lost 4 cylinders?

I'm like you for just cruising. Speeding tickets and the associated hit on my wallet and driver's licence (insurance) rating are not worth it.
But I will open 'er up, road and police conditions permitting.
Twisting that throttle just feels too good!
