Yesterday 12 may 3,600 motorbikes toured the Frisian countryside in the yearly Elfstedentocht (eleven cities tour)
A great day out and not just for the riders people lined the route to wave the riders on and to admire the diversity of bikes (and riders).
It was fun and friendly no trouble no anti social behaviour just bikers out having a good time.

We have something very similar to that in Philadelphia, PA. Every June bike riders come and ride their bikes up and down the big streets of the city. And there is always a party on the Wall. The Manyunk Wall where everybody waves and has parties, etc. Really alot of fun.

I think I prefer riding alone.
Im impulsive and tend to just shoot off here or there on a whim.
Plus I dont have to talk to anybody.
