Getting stuck behind a Harleytrain

I ride a cruiser, and usually stick to the speed limit or slightly over. If there's a bike coming up behind me, I move to the right and let them pass. When riding with a group, we'll usually pass the word up by comms to make room for safe passing. Would never endanger myself or cause another rider to risk injury.

Most Spyder sales are to people who never rode bikes before. They find them less intimidating.
I was surprised to see how many they sold.
Spyder is on my want list of bikes. Mostly, my wife would feel more comfortable letting me take my kids around. Downside: By the time I can afford one, they will have their own bikes.

How about a Side Car ??
Strangely, I would feel more comfortable with my kid in direct contact with me. Sort of like how I sit beside him on a rollercoaster and hold his hand. Come to think of it, that's probably more to calm my fears.

Of course it's silly to jump on you for that, I just thought it was funny. Been there done that myself.

I got suck behind a group of 20+ bikes yesterday on #632 in Muskoka. I did my best to pass them safely but I guess I must have upset one of them as he kept racing up behind me as if to say "what do you think you are doing trying to pass us"! It was very frustrating. It was a mixed group Harley's, crusiers and sport tourers.

20 is a big group. Almost worth just taking a 10min water break to let them get away. Then hoping you dont catch up to them afterwards.
I was stuck behind 7 or 8 bikes on the 511 yesterday. Friend I was riding with managed to pass them and a car on a long straight with solid lines. I eventually just slowed way down on the straights where they were doing well over the limit and then caught them back up on the corners. That road seems to go on forever though. 
Eventually, my friend pulled over at the next gas station and we started our way back. I'm not sure what the people with small tanks are going to do around here with the shortage of gas stations on the nice roads.

Went out yesterday with my buddy(vfr 800) and his wife(cbr 250), we were taking it easy, shaking out the cobwebs so to speak.
Came up on a group of mixed cruisers, Harley/Victory/ Honda/Suzuki, about 15-17 of them. The two at the back had what looked like car tires mounted. I didn't recognize the patch on their backs.
Anyway, 10-15km under the speed limit, very freaking annoying. I had enough after about 15 mins and passed them. My buddy and his wife followed my lead.
To each their own, but I just don't get it
