optimoprime Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 i just dont get it. everyone i know who has a bike NEVER wants to ride. asked a guy last night who said he used to MOD here and i asked him why noone rides, he tells me to make a post and usually a few people will want to go out.so i post and not one person wants to go. i just seems like everyone i know or can contact with a bike dosent want to ride em. i know i spent a good bit on my bike and i'm on it daily for commuting but any day off i'm on it ALL day.but maybe i'm just bitching idk, any thoughts??

If you are on your bike ALL day like you say. I will count ALL day as 8 hours times 2 days for being off like most people, average 30 miles per hour would be about 14,000 miles a year. Thats not including comuting. Ride up to me and I will ride with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWing'R Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 so i post and not one person wants to go. i just seems like everyone i know or can contact with a bike dosent want to ride em. If I didn't have plans already to ride with my wife today I would have rode with you! We just got back, just did 68 miles thru Delaware/Marysville/Dublin and Hilliard. My wife just rides a 250 and is still learning, you wouldn't had any fun riding with us today.But maybe we can ride another time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashweights Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 i'm with you. I was the first of my local friends to get a bike then i had 3 pick one up over the last year. they always got girlfriends to hang out with or some stupid reason not to ride. might have ridden with one of them 4-5 times in the past 2 years.

magley64 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 i would have more but when i ride solo i'll only ride for an hour or so at a time.you've barely warmed up your tires, your engine, and your seat after an hour...my normal rides are 3-5 hours, and my longest was 30...

NinjaNick Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 some people that have a bike are just a rich wussy poser that wants to have a bike to be cool and are scared to ride. probably the same people that asked me if i want to race and i so o.k. and then they backdown. or sometimes if they ask me if i want to race i say no i would rather fight.

snodgrass23 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 An hour? If you live in Columbus, it takes an hour just to get to any good riding areas.Seriously. Whenever I only have about an hour or less to ride, I'm always trying to figure out somewhere decent to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrocket04 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I rode down to Washington court house today. I'd ride with anybody with sanity. Or, I would as soon as I get a new rear tire. Til then, just to school and around home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
