Metal Twister 0 Posted September 6, 2007 I was a little late at the shop tonight when a good friend called to say he wanted to come by and say hi. when I went out to unlock the gate I found another friend on his 950 Ktm parked at the gate. Within a few minutes another stop by. While the four of us were talking I relized that we all knew alot of the same people. What was really interesting to me was that I have known one guy for about 35 years. One for a few months, and another for a couple of hours whom I met on a SDAR ride. I felt like I knew them all for ever. The common denominator being motorcycles, and SDAR. I am always amazed at how comfortable I am around this club. I can ride a dual sport ride with you for a couple of hours and feel like I've known you forever. I guess that could be good, or bad? But at any rate I can honestly say that I havn't met a person here that I dislike. I really enjoy meeting up for a ride, and seeing the faces that I havent seen since the last. Its like meeting up with life long friends. Tonight I got to share a few beers with some great guys. Whats cool is there is a whole club full of em at SDAR. Thanks for letting me hang with you guys, my life is richer by just knowing you. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted September 6, 2007 I agree about the club Back in the 70s and 80s I never seemed to lack for riding company, but by the 90s, most of the people I knew who rode quit, especially dirt riding. By 1995, I was doing very little riding except for street. I decided in the year 2000, that I had wasted to much time not dirt riding, so I started up again. I didn't have anybody to ride with. Occasionally I would find people to go with, but just didn't seem to get the right "fit" with anyone (people were flakes,busy, didn't like the venue, the weather, etc.) I am really glad to have found San Diego Adventure Riders.

Ride-Orange 2 Posted September 6, 2007 I think the Chief Gunner coined it in a word; Reciprocity - you get what you give. Particularly you Bob You have an easy way about you that makes people feel as though they can speak easy and be thought of as an unconditionally accepted friend . I'm glad to have met everyone here, be it on line or in person, and I look forward to all of our adventures to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joliet 0 Posted September 6, 2007 I started to type a heart-felt response about the way I feel about the members of this club, but I found it too difficult to type and keep an eye out for the giant Milwaukee's Best can that was sure to crush me any moment . So I am just going to give you all one of these. Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
