I ride with a lot of HD riders....we often tease each other. When we start our bikes for a ride they ask, "Well, are you going to start that thing, or what??" I tell them that I don't mind riding with them....I have a tow rope! It's all in good fun!!

Had that actually happen for real once.
On a PGR mission. We're saddled up ready
to begin the escort and everyone is starting up. I had been sitting there running for a bit and the guy next to me tells me I had better "start my bike, we're leaving soon". Wasn't in a nasty way but perhaps slightly less than friendly.
Told him "it's running" and point to the tach.
"Oh"
