See predominately cruisers and by far they are Harley's, more and more women riding them. Occasional Victory or Indian oddball thrown in the mix. Second place seems to be Harley trikes then the sport bikes and adventure bikes with metal panniers. And I don't live near a Starbucks.
Do see a lot of Goldwings and BMW full dressers - older guys.
Sport bikes seem divided into two groups - very young crowd in t shirts and frequently shorts and a more mature crowd with some or full protective gear. Mostly Suzuki with a few Ducks mixed in, Yamaha showing well. Don't recall any BMW sport bikes but have been passed by some low flying jets that might have been the R9T but I couldn't be sure.
Rarely see a Triumph out on the road, I think they build a good bike.
The adventure crowd seems mostly the GS group with the Vstrom & WeeStroms showing well. Fair number of KTMs and a very few Yamaha's.
I'd say 70% of the other bikes I see are Harley's and wanna be's. I know I ride slow but I do so by choice.
Haven't run into a rude or belligerent rider in years. When I'm on the Ural the women flock to pet the dogs, some even speak to me too.
