Default How many lone wolves?

I'm getting tired of riding alone. Anybody else ride solo? I had some guys I used to ride with but they are such (womens parts) they barely ever ride anymore. I've been going alone for a couple months. I live in west oklahoma so there isn't a ton of guys around my small town. I might have to look for an M.C. Just to have somebody to hangout with and ride.

Now I ride alone most of the time, my wife has her own bike and gets out occasionally with me. I have done some big trips, Mexico, US and Canada with 2 other guys that have since quit riding. I have never joined the HOG group but joined some other MC clubs but it never seemed to last for me interest wise and now I like riding alone more and more. I do usually end up with other bikers at bike nights etc. to stay in touch.

Lately I prefer to ride alone.I've been stuck with new riders and it get's annoying.60kmh on 100kmh highway?rearended by a sportster at red light!!Or stuck at gas station while someone practices how to take off,stall after stall.Even pulling someone and there ride out of a ditch,while people drive by and stare.There is only a small handfull of guys I like to ride with but being military were often sent in different directions.

At least alone no stopping for stupidness,and I can beat the hell out of it!!

I 've been riding for 40 years now and have never belonged to a club. I occasionally ride with other guys to an event or to Laconia but solo any other time and that's the way I like it. Through the years I've been to the Bondurant driving school and the Keith Code motorcycle school and other drivers (both cars and bikes) make me a little nervous.

It's mostly RUB's and wannabe's out there these days so you're better off riding alone. Unless you're a RUB or a wannabe yourself.
