Nice looking bike, is it just me or do those brake/clutch lines look stretched to the max?

Thanks have a great dsy!!
If you were joking there are icons / emoji's you can use to let others know you are joking.

1st Amendment applies to Congress not making laws to limit freedoms, doesn't mean squat in hdforums.

I spent 20 years in the Army serving my country, also during some bad times. All in a days work.

Have a great day!

OP - CaffeineBuzz offered some great advice. As much as somebody on the road might pi$$ you off, get out of the situation and just forget about it. Another good bit of advice I once read on this forum - "Extraordinary riders don't get themselves in situations that require their extraordinary skills."

Welcome from PA...Remember, 3000 pounds and 4 wheels well trump 700 pounds on 2 wheels every time. Back off and live another day to ride.

OP-
Glad to hear you've gotten some training. The Beginner Rider Course is only that. For beginners. Once you have 5,000 miles of experience (on your bike) then it's time to take the Advanced Course. It's a lot of fun.
Since the group you ride with is sporbike based, it's going to be interesting to see if some of those riders move over to the HD side in the future. Once they see the grin on your face when they stop for food, they're going to see that ultimate speed or razor sharp brakes really isn't necessary on the street (The track is a different animal.)
Ride safe
