Riding is something of a solo pursuit, in many ways: there’s
you, the bike, the road. It’s not exactly a situation that promotes
conversation, other than swearing at traffic. But when you stop, it’s good to
have company.
Recently, I arranged to meet up with a friend for a short
one, mainly to introduce each other to our respective new bikes and have a
mutual admiration session for said machines.
It’s nice when you’re talking to someone who doesn’t think you’re nuts
to give your bike a name or refer to it as beautiful, or snarling/ growling/
purring (the stages in which mine wakes up when you turn the key. Like me, she’s
not much of a spring-out-from-under-the-blanket type).
Besides, it gave me an opportunity for a photo shoot with
the bike.
