Way back when I was younger in the what I'll call BI time (Before Internet), when you wanted to go for a ride, you'd call a riding buddy or two and make a day of it. It was great fun and after riding you could sit and BS about the day. The only thing is, other than your best riding buddy or two, you just never ran into very many people in your day to day lives who shared your passion for all things two wheeled and dirty.
