HD Rider Kinda Got Under My Skin
[quote=powaypete;4431931]#1 = I don't mind if a rider (HD or other) pulls up next to me at a light. I'm a friendly kinda guy. I've met some really great people/riders this way. It sounds like he was lookin for a 'friend' with a common interest.
I'm a friendly kinda guy too , but , we all different , and mebbe it's just me , but I think it's appropiate if the rider in front motions to the one in back its OK to pull alongside

It happened to me last summer,a guy on a ratty looking harley pulled up close at a light and says" nice bike,I'm like yeah yours too".The light changes and I pull away and at the next light he says" where you going?"A warning bell starts clanging in my head and I look more closely at him,his pupils are like pinpricks and his face has a real slack look to it,I say "I'm late for work" and hang a right.I'm a friendly guy but it was obvious to me that he was "on something".I won't ride with a drunk or druggie .

#4 = Sure hope he did get the ticket.

BD, I REALLY thought we had this ALL worked out the last time, with the 'ratty shovelhead' post. Man, when you pull into my girlfriends drive, howz I s'posed to know who the heck it is?? We gots to come up with a 'secret handshake' 
, OKAY, a WAVE, so we BOTH know who's doin' what.
What da hey are they thinkin'? Pullin' into the drive. I have peeps doin' that. BUT it's usually someone I know, OR they are looking for MOMMA!!!!!!

If the rider I'm coming up on stops at the right or left of the lane at the limit line, I will take the opportunity to pull next to that rider every time no questions asked. However, if that rider pulls to the limit line in the middle of the lane then I will move to the right or left wing of that rider in a position where I can see that rider's face in their own mirror. If a rider wants to lane hog then do it right or expect other riders to move into the open slot because I want out of here when it comes to traffic.
