G'day everyone, now I enjoy coming to this forum and reading all your posts and it seems a lot of members here are always chasing more hp and it's great to see and read there posts and how happy they are when they have success and good on you guys I am glad it works for you but this is not what my post will be about.

I got a few mates who like to ride hard, very hard, now  I been on a few rides with them but I must admit riding at warp speeds hanging on for grim death is not my idea of a enjoyable ride but on the other hand I have mates who just like to cruise so guess who I ride with the most.

Now this post is not about putting shit on anyone who likes to ride there bike fast as I said I got some very good mates who like to ride this way but for me I am one of those old fart cruiser type blokes who like to sit on the speed limits and enjoy smelling the rose's so to speak and my old Evo softail seems to enjoy these speeds as well being the powerhouse it is lol.

So are you one of those blokes who like's just cruising, cheers everyone.

 

+2 on these comments. I am quite happy with my 2011, FXST. 96 c.u. engines. Does me just fine, Gets good K's per tank. Still quick enough to lose ya licence. ( but i'de rather keep mine.)

I have let my group leave me behind when they get their testosterone flowing
I don't care how fast they go, I am safe

must be a old bloke thing .lol

Yup, gotta agree with you. I also am over travelling at warp speed.

 

For me its the reason I changed to a Harley.
Not that they won't go fast if you want, I just prefer to cruise.

I like chilling and cruising! But when i hit the windy sections; well then I just let the bike off its leash and away she goes!

Yep, cruising for me as well. Custom Softail Evo, 90,000ks on clock. If you're out riding no where in particular, what's the idea of rushing ?

I always feel vunerable riding in the hills... wondering if some racer will be flying around a corner coming towards me because they took the bend to quick... it's usually sports bikes that you have to watch out for... some years ago I got clipped from behind from a sports racer... it scared the living crap out of me because I didn't see it coming.... many sports motorcycles are as fast as hell and it seems the lower they can take a corner at the fastest speed seems to be the main game.  Someone once gave me some good advice which has kept me upright most of my riding life... always ride to your ability... meaning, if you are not a casey stoner don't try to be one.

Geeewizzz a double post... brains going to mustard.

I'm another who likes to just cruise and enjoy the ride without having to worry whether a camera car is going to come around the next corner. My 96c.i. is fast enough for me. If I wanted to ride fast I certainly wouldn't be on a HD.

i prefer to cruise all the time.

the only time i go fast (and i admit its a weakness) is when annoying idiots in cages cut me off, try and over take me and pretty much try and knock me off the road..


wish i didn't have testosterone
