I call a friend if I feel like having company on a ride. Usually I just call ahead and swing by if he is going to be out in his shop or planning to ride too. Then we usually check on the next friend, and if he is free to go, we ride out to meet him. Or we all meet up and leave from a restaurant or something. Most of my friends are an hour ride from me, and each other, so we all get plenty of riding done. Too many MC groups are pretentious, and self righteous, and '____ Riding Clubs' usually have assholes with agendas that they won't eliminate, and these 'organizers' create way to much drama arguing over 'Just the right reason' to ride for, when all ya gotta do is go. If you wanna give charity, have someone carry a sack or a jar to donate into, and if you don't trust them to donate it, what the hell are ya ridin with um for? PGR escorts are about the only bullshit free events that I will participate with strangers in, but I still get my teeth set on edge at these when 'biker dress-up posers' show up who use the ride as an excuse to validate their badass biker image. These people should dress in a way that shows respect for the fallen Vet, not in their best biker costume. At the least, a nice pair of jeans, polished shoes and a black or dark dress shirt. And absolutely no patch and pin covered vests or jackets, jesus that pisses me off, show some restraint and give respect to a Vet and his family! If you really want riding friends ... If you meet someone on a solo ride that you feel might make a good riding friend, get his/her phone or e-mail, and whenever you go on a ride with a definate destination, call or e-mail to see if they want to join in. This method will allow you to ride 100% bullshit drama free, with or without companions. And after all, isn't that what the ride is supposed to wash away in the first place? There are some guys on here that seem like they might make potential 'riding friends', I met up with Husker Bob and Mrs Husker for a few hundred miles on the BRP, and they were both fun to converse and ride with and we had a really great ride. I have and will call them again. Just take your time and avoid anyone who 'dresses up' to go for a ride, and you should have a circle of riding friends, that may make your other friends seem shallow by comparison, in no time. Max good advice for anyone thanks but i generally ride by myself or with my brother   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #383654 Big Dawg (User) On the road again . . . Platinum Boarder Posts: 1220 Re:Riding Groups?? 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago   The STAR Chapter I ride with is pretty small and laid back. There's not any major drama. Well, other the afct that we have a bunch fricken early risers who like to get on the road at 0-dark-30! Man, I wish they'd just go ahead, toss back a few, and relax. Anyway, I also ride w/my son-in-law, a cigar buddy of mine, been on several PGR missions, etc. Hope you find a group that you're comfortable riding with, it can be a helluva lot of fun!
