"If you have one true friend you have more than your share,” Thomas Fuller.

I am the opposite so to speak when it comes to friends. My wife has 2 real friends. Friend #2 has lost touch with her and friend #1. I on the other hand am accused of collecting friends.

I am not fazed by the fact that I probably take my friendships more seriously than some of my fair weather friends. So out of all the work buddies, friends of conveniences, and so on I like to think that I can count on my fingers of who I know will be there for me and my family if ever the poop hits the fan.

I can also say that out of 10 very close friends, there are five in particular that I would walk through fire for and I know the favor would be returned. Only one of those friends has a bike. He is 14,000 miles away and we have never gotten to ride together. I hope we get to soon.

I also had some great friends and riding buds who are still in WA state, Riding with them are some of the funist times I have had riding in a group. SO TO THE ROCKHOUNDS I SEND MY INVITATION TO TX!

I’m sorry to have been on a big soapbox. This is one of the topics I feel strongly about so I wanted to put my thoughts in.


“One who looks for a friend without faults will have none.”
