It’s always an adventure when we get together!

Are you reading this? What would happen if when the weather turns warmer Steve and I ride scooters to your new crib? Did you see my new three wheel Cushman?

Steve: Thank you for heartfelt and sensitive words. I’ve for the last 20 years referred to you either as my best friend or one of my best friends. My gut feeling is you will be there for me if I need you. I can’t say that about a lot of people.

I suppose there is an ebb and flow to friendships as circumstances change. I value them greatly so I try to keep them.

I think a lot of riders form fast friendships with other kindred souls on two wheels. Best wishes to you on the ride and with friends.

It is good to have friends. Gordon moved away to New York recently so I don’t get to see him like I did. But the bond for me remains.

Paul has had quite a few bikes and scooters. A quick count in my head indicates three scooters, three Ducatis, two Harleys, three BMWs, one Suzuki, and one Kawasaki since 2005. I think I have pictures of all of them.

The Fly seems to do fine with the GTS on the routes we take. He and I are going for a ride in the morning though I don’t know what he’ll be riding.

of the relationship(s).
Sadly as one ages those 03:00 friends expire or leave your existence for any number of reasons; I tend to keep such relationships for 10-15 years and then we slowly drift apart.
Currently few acquaintances o friends; it is almost as one person noted, my destiny to destroy my relationships with others and then many moons later restart the relationship once again as if no space or time has intervened. I stop sometimes for 10-20 years and then the cycle restarts.
Keep your friends Steve, one day that may well be all you have!
