I ride alone alot but I do enjoy taking off with a select few of my riding buddies for a ride. seems to me if the group gets over 4 or 5 bikes it becomes a pain. either someone is lagging behind or someone is hauling ***. everyone cant agree on what road to take or even when and where to stop.

Yep, 90% of my riding is solo or 2-up, only occasionally do I do the group thing.

Most of my riding is alone. Really the only time I am with another is when I am on a weeklong trip with a buddy.
The freedom to do what and when I want to do something is priceless

I love riding alone. No one telling you how to ride, where to ride, when to stop. It is the BEST

Only other riders I like to ride with are my wife, two sons, daughter or grandson. They go where I want to go.

Rode alone to Sturgis 5 or 6 times. I had the time of my life on those trips.
