Well I went on a group ride last weekend with 7 other riders including three Harley Glides. They didn't actually put any of the other riders "down" but you could tell they thought the rest of us weren't in the same league. The best part of the ride was where the cat on the Yamaha 400cc scooter blew them away in the twisties going up Racoon Mountain in Chattanooga. Unfortunately, I was behind them bringing up the rear because I had the loudest pipes. Man, do those 2007s ever shake when they're at a traffic light. They could have made fantastic milkshakes at every stop. And, finally when the guy with the prettiest Ultra Glide (and it was very pretty) asked me why I chose my Triumph over a Harley I said, "Handling and the joy of riding" he had nothing to say...
