Hello, JTC, and welcome to the forum.

Very much like the idea of organizing group rides like this and sorely wish I were near enough to join. Love the idea of a posse of Chinese bikes taking on the Hardlys! Felix was just telling a funny story about pulling up next to a hog on his Galaxy somewhere in Zhejiang, and giving him a nod and a smile as we all do to other riders -- only to receive a sneer and a grunt from the superior being at his side. By his telling, Felix had the last laugh as he blew the guy off on the first uphill curve, even though his Galaxy engine is barely one-quarter that hog's displacement.

Then again, I've had some fun rides with Harley riders. It's not the bike; it's the attitude.

Hope you get a good turnout. Don't you have to contend with snow in those parts?

cheers
