If I encounter a biker, I follow about 300 feet back for both his comfort and mine. If he is riding slower than me I pass him when it is safe. Easy to do with a 1140cc motor.
If I encounter a cruiser flock, I find a place to pull over for a rest stop.
I am retired, so I ride on weekdays when there is little traffic on the back roads. The clubs and wannabe racers are usually out on the weekends along with the boat trailers and RVs.
Promised myself I would ride twice a week this summer, but it rained from mid-April to the last week in July. So if someone spoils my day ride I get crankier than normal.
