I am generally an extrovert who enjoys large groups of people, but when I ride, I prefer to ride alone...

I ride alone or with a couple of Friends quite a lot.
I have TONS of friends Not just acquaintances but friends who I can call to bail me out at 4am. (Not that Ive had too) ( Recently)  
I love spending time alone. And love big parties that i can meet new friends at.
I have a bunch of pirate(ish) friends who i sometimes ride with and have no trouble socializing at stops with.  

In other words i don't fit.

I'm good with that  Bigok

I enjoy riding with a few (3 or less) friends. Once it starts getting over 4 seems there will always be someone breaking down, not having enough money for lunch etc, or being an a-hole. Plus safety factor - too many riders - problems being able to avoid dangerous situations.

Being a lifelong motorcyclist who now rides a 400cc scooter and considers it just a different type of motorcycle, I don't fit in with any group.  I think a lot of riders get confused by a 'Stich-wearing scooter jockey gettin' it done in the twisties or doing 80mph down the highway.  That's OK, though, I'm not much of a conformist people-person anyway.   Wink

Without thinking about it when I bought a few years back, I would say my 98 Concours fits me pretty well.
Old design, well maintained, a few extra pounds, quiet on the outside, spirited on the inside, reliable.

Wow, did I end up on the wrong side of this poll.  

Sport type of bikes tend to attract my interest, cruiser do not.  

I spend my professional life in front of large groups, meeting and working with customers nation wide.   It has been a while since I took my last personality test, but I've always ended up well onto the extrovert side.    

"Rides" with large numbers of cruisers chugging along in formation does not appeal to me.  

A day of blasting canyons with friends does, which reminds me how much I miss the mountains.

I ride both , (FJR and HD FLHX)  while I thoroughly enjoy riding with friends, I do most of my riding solo.
Not big on crowds or large events , I ride to get away from them.
