I rode with our local Christian group once, but seriously do I have to do a group prayer 4 times before I can eat a Cheese Burger. I haven’t prayed that much since the last time I was on a Crap table trying to parlay a Hard 8.

I still do most of my riding alone though. That sux.

Yep, reminds me of the "one" time I rode with a local christian group. And a prayer before getting back on the bikes at every stop!??

try having your wife or girl friend ride on the back of the bike topless, you'll get plenty of guys show up on time to ride with you

I gave up on the riding buddy issue. Its always the same ****. One guy has to watch the kids..another is hungover..another is in the doghouse with his OL..another has to clean the gutters. Whatever. I'm to the point where I just grab my helmet and go.

All of the guys that I used to ride with have all moved away. I like riding by myself, but I like riding with a small group sometimes too. I don't make friends very fast, so even joining a new group would take me a while to get some new good friends.
