Who do you ride with?

Speed has an article about riding buddies and who we like to ride with. I actually, ride alone most of the time because most of my friends don’t ride. One friend who does ride is a stunt rider for Buell and always seems to be doing “stuff” that might get us in trouble. But the article points out that there is a new trend- guys and girls riding together. It could be husband and wife or boyfriend/girlfriend. With the rate that women are getting into riding, it seems only natural that they would ride with their husband, boyfriend, etc. But picking someone to ride with isn’t always easy-

Riding buddies will do just about anything for each other on the road. They won’t leave you stranded in times of trouble. If you’re running late, he or she will wait for you. A good riding buddy is always looking out for you. This trust and understanding doesn’t happen overnight. There’s a sizing-up process that takes place between two potential riding buddies each person putting the other through a series of silent tests.
