Motorcycles


Sport bike riders have this click. No matter who the person is--their background, their gender, race, economic status, job, education, etc.--a rider is welcome. Anyone who enjoys to ride, who enjoys fast bikes, who can tell, listen, ask about stories of the rode.

We ought to have more activities out there as welcoming as this. It's great to be a part of a group that does not deny kindness, access, true companionship to anyone. Granted, hopefully, they can come in less expensive hobbies. Still an open topic, idea, hobby, or passion are great ways to bring people together.

Developing True Friendships


I find it hard to get to the core of who people are, to discuss important things, and to not scare off others/be scared off when getting to know people. There are events in life, such as an evening out or a day of volleyball and BBQ, that can introduce new people, but it is our jobs to make those things more than just an event. This is often where I fail in developing true friendships. I may gain acquaintances, but often not the depth of a true friendship.
