Must of done around 4000 miles over the summer and the amount of Harley riders that never knew I was there.
Today on the tail of two on a B winding road for over 7 miles, I sat less that 10 foot away and even at one point I came down the inside of one of them and was less than 2 foot to the side, and the rider still did not know I was there.

Don't you really don't know the answer to that Trig!!!

Because their mirrors are set so they can see themselves, so they know just how stupid they really look! It's all about the "Selfie" ! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Vibration, mirrors are just a blur.
-
They weren't that blurry, I was using them to put my Lippy on as we were so close!!
-
What were you doing just sitting behind them?
Were there plenty of hand gestures involved.? ;D
-
No hand gestures Mick, it was pointless, they weren't bloody looking.

Them
Massey Fergusons Harley Davisons are so loud the riders wouldn't hear a Vulcan behind them.
-
That wouldn't stop me I'm known for it.
A few years ago I spotted a git with a speed gun I slowed down to about 5mph to let him know what I thought of him.
I must have had Harley mirrors fitted that day as I didn't see the Police car right up my chuff. ;D

They recon that over 90% of Harley made are still on the road------the rest actually made it home

If my Sportster is anything to go by, there is not much point in looking in the mirrors as you only get a good view of your arms, especially when I'm wearing my waterproofs.
Although I love that bike, its the usual Harley triumph of form over function - putting big mirrors on long stalks like my CB750 would make them work much better, but wouldn't look as cool as small teardrop shaped ones on short stalks.
Its the same deal with my 2 gallon peanut tank - it looks way better than the large touring option, but is something you start to regret when, say doing the North Coast 500 in Scotland, especially on a Sunday when some of the petrol stations are shut. I went on it to a bikers do in Bethesda, Wales, this weekend - it led to an interesting encounter with some of the Outlaws MC when I limped off the A55 on reserve to look for fuel. To be fair, they were very helpful in pointing me in the direction of the nearest petrol station.

harley triumph? what kind of machine is that?!!

It must beg the question why on earth would you sit at the back of them for 7 miles listening to that racket. ;D
