It is kind of unnerving when you're by yourself but I've found a lot of bikers feel an affinity with us. Amazing the number of them that have road or mtn bikes at home. We get tons of firendly waves and finger wiggles from them as they pass.

Just be greatful it wasn't like our incident a couple weekends ago. Having a Harley slide across the road between you and your riding partner at 40+ mph is a heck of a lot more unnerving than the casual comment.
