I'm A Cranky Old Lone Wolf - Nortoon_imp - 08-02-2017
Coming down from Ompah on a quiet twisty road I had a young lad on a cruiser glue himself to my tail. Probably a pack animal from one of the local cruiser clubs. I slow on the straights hoping he will get bored and pass. No luck.
I move to the line when he does, but he just moves to edge of the lane. I move the edge of the lane and he moves to the line. Well trained pack animal I think to myself. But I'm a lone wolf a really don't like someone this close.
So now its time to get ugly. I scream through every corner I can throwing caution to the wind hoping his low riding cruiser will scrap up a few sparks and back him off. He does slow down, but quickly makes it up in the straits. This guys worse that a deer fly.
And then it happens. I just passed the turn for South Lavant Road I was searching for. I turn the right signal light on and slow to a stop on the shoulder of the road. He stops behind me. I signal left and pull a U-turn. He continues on his way. Thank God, now I can enjoy my ride again.

Wow. I'm the exact opposite. I'd be happy to have someone to ride with!!
I'm always by myself, and see tons of bikes going in the other direction.

Nicely written. Captured the essence of the feelings many of us have when another vehicle is invading our personal riding space.

he couldn't take his eyes of the CB! he is jealous! have some pity on him. I do understand though. like Dubbs, I like to ride with someone, but it's nice to at least greet each other and agree to ride together, not just stalk you...

Great story, well told.

Know what you mean, once you start riding by yourself it's tough to ride with someone.

I tend to be a lone rider most of the time, but I don't mind if someone latches onto my tail (as long as they keep a safe distance). It's fun to get more aggressive in the turns to see if they'll keep up.
