So, once again, don't look to me for any answers. |
I was about to write that I doubt many chopper ridders will ride through the mountains. Just not the best tool for the job at hand.
BUT, the last time I was in the mountains on my bike, I got behind a group of about 30 plus choppers (OCC, West Coast Choppers, and the like). They were going so slow. It was agony. They would almost come to a dead stop (it seemed like) to make the switch backs and still most of them would drag parts. I wanted to cry in the tunnels because they were so loud and then half of them would pull in the clutch and rev the motors as they passed through them. I kept hoping that they would stop or get off the parkway. They didn't. I eventualy pulled over at an outlook and chilled out for a while because I didn't want to work my way through their formation.
