Default Ride Alone?

Just curious, how many of us ride by ourselves? I ride with friends when I can but it's mostly alone. I'm not talking about riding to and from work or the store, or bar hopping. I mean riding for the love of riding. Whether it's a day cruise or touring. Who does it alone and share your experiences if you'd like.

Alone whenI can, but I've got 4 friends that I've been riding with for about 20 yrs,plus my wife rides her own bike, so usually at least one of them is along.

I am new to the HD family. I have a couple friends with Yamahas but think they will be too jealous to ride along side my Fat Boy

I usually ride alone unless taking a trip. All of my friends that used to ride sold their bikes.

My neighborhood has 6 Harley owners including myself. It's pretty easy to find someone to ride with, especially since 3 of them are retired.

I like to ride with other people, but the local dinner rides with my club seem lame and I never do them.

I like to ride by myself most of the time.
