In Ontario, Canada (probably most of Canada) it is common to find mostly HDs huddled together in front of a Tim Horton's (coffee shop) looking at their bikes, looking at each other and saying nothing.
Similarly, all other bike riders (but no HDs) doing the same, but speaking to each other. People would be talking around the CB1100 gawking at how well it was "restored".
It is also a thing to see Beemers herded together in front of a Starbucks, geared up princely, but speaking to each other. Starbucks is premium to Tim Horton's.
Tim Horton's serves real coffee.

I was unfamiliar with Tim Hortons so I googled it.
Turns out he was a 44 year old hockey player in the NHL who was killed in a high speed single car accident in February of 1974. He owned 30 coffee/donut shops in 1974.
He was returning home after a game and passed a constable at a high rate of speed at 5:30 AM
The constable states he was parked and began a pursuit but never turned on his lights or siren and thinks that Horton was so far ahead of him he didn't realize he was being chased.
He indicates he came upon an accident scene 6 miles down the road with the overturned car in the opposite 2 lanes of travel and Hortons' body was in the median and 123 ft from the wrecked vehicle, which he estimated was traveling at 100 mph at the time it left the roadway.
As Paul Harvey used to say, now you know the rest of the story,
