Default Need an opinion

Well I have been getting some offers from some guys I know to come ride with them, mostly all Harley guys, but I have a few other guys that all drive Goldwings and Vulcans and what ever else you want to call them and they have been asking to meet up with them and do a few trips. I don't know if it is just me, but I really don't want to be driving around with guys on Goldwings and Vulcans. I really don't care what people ride, just as long as it is not me. Am I being a schmuck or should I just join them for a few rides??? I could get a full face helmet I don't know, I really prefer just riding alone, but if I am going out with a group I would rather it be out with real bikes.

if you won't ride with them because you don't like group rides - cool!

if you won't ride with them because of what they ride - you are a SCHMUCK!

You ride with whoever you want to ride with. It is pretty sad that you would consider not riding with someone because of what kind of bike they have. Riding is about friendship not what kind of bike you have.
