I've pretty much always ridden alone. It's a very rare occasion when I ride with someone else. Been that way pretty much my entire life.

Every summer I take a 1-2 week excursion all by myself. Very little planning. Pack up camping gear and clothes. I'll decide general place I want to go, but go all by myself. I decide East,west,north,south; when to stop, when to eat; hotel or campground. No radio. Only me and my thoughts!

I am pretty much a high plains drifter, and I rarely ride with others. I like riding alone. However, I also like riding with others. Unfortunately, none of my existing friends are riders and I really haven't made many friends of riders who I do not already know. I have join the local HOG Group in the hopes of making some rider friends and we will see if that works out.

I take one hour trips alone around the neighboring countryside. If my son isn't working he joins me.

I have ridden alone for most of the 40 years I have been ridding motorcycles. When I was younger, 12-15, I rode off road with a bunch of friends. Kids on dirtbikes.

However, when I got my first streetbike in 1982 at age 16, I was the only one I knew in high school that had a streetbike. I am talking among 100s of people.

None of my friends during college had motorcycles. I did a lot of ridding with a co-worker from 2006-09. Only co-worker I have ever worked that I rode with. Only known 3 other co-workers over the years who had motorcycles but two of them barely ever rode.

I love riding with buddies but most times it ends up irritating me, alone I can reach a zen spot that isn't achievable in a group. Either way, I love to ride.

Alone is my preference, I'll ride once in a while with small group
3-4.....Never with a large group.

Most of the time by myself. When you go out in a group so many Ride so hard and fast. Can't seem to think there enjoying there ride. Then to bars. Hmmm let's drink and do shots then ride some more. Nah. I just go for my release and come home. A good ride clears the mind.
