CorsairMac observes "As for being fun and friendly - I've never met an unfriendly Harley rider and that includes the Hells Angels which rode in every charity ride my old AZ chapter put on."

Seems to be an unspoken affinity between bikers and cyclists as in "2 wheels good, 4 wheels bad". I've had chopper riders set up impromtu traffic control for cyclists, got lost on a road ride and was guided by Harley and Harley wannabe riders....my best experience to date was the "biker scum" as we affectionately call the motorcycle crew on the AIDS ride.

On day 6 I was the second to the last rider in (mechanical problems, really!). I rode in, gal named Sharon on my heels (Sharon are you here?) and after her the entire motorcycle team rides in two abreast as the camp erupted in cheers.

Between the roar of the bkes and the entire camp cheering as they rode in...I still get goosebumps thinking about it. We loved them, they do everything to keep us safe.
