Thanks for sharing. Not easy to do. Hang in there and focus on the things you can control. Also, consider getting some mental health care. It can make a difference.

Truenorth bikers m8, look them up, local to you grait bunch of people, they changed my lonly life, I'm in shrewsbury too, hit me up for a ride out any time, true north bikers have loads of ride outs and meet ups

I too am a rider who is extremely lonely at age 55. Every day I feel lonely. The bike helps but not the same. Hang in there, brother. ❤

So sorry to hear you've got a bachelor pad of your own now buddy,although many of us can only dream to be in that boat ffs!!! 😝👍 Seriously though,I'm in the same kind of scenario myself regarding not having a huge circle of friends,mostly down to not going to college or uni & possibly settling down with my Mrs too early in life...Maybe! ✌️❤️😎 I'll ask Haggis if he's got a younger sister...Then you can just move up here!!! 😬😬😬👍

18 years ago my life fell apart took me 12 years too be in a better place, had a bike in the garage but wasn’t using it , sold it and the family home bought a smaller house, finished work with ill health, then I bought a new bike life as changed for the better from that time , I’m back in touch with several old school friends we’re all between 66 and 69, i’m 68 next birthday most are still biking, Keep plodding on , life will improve, I’m at home most of the week my children live in England two in Yorkshire live close together, one in Hereford, pop into town have a coffee I’ve meet several people just by doing it , gets me out of the house,Good luck from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

yeah loneliness is a bastard, i lost my wife not long ago, and the isolation is the worst thing, specially when you are older, as i find past a certain age you become invisible anyway (im 63) and its notoriously hard to make friends as you get older anyway, acquaintances sure, but real friends are hard to find. This is the reason im back in to biking, it gets me out, and i can go places with my brother who rides about on some massive BMW K 1600, im on my honda 125cc 🤣but you need to do something because loneliness is a killer at my age. It does get better though over time, you can grieve you know, the death of a relationship, just like you grieve for the death of a loved one.. its gets better though, just takes time....

We bought a water bed ,after that we just drifted apart.

Hiya mate.....i hear you, I have been there too, many of us have. a relationship breaks down for whatever reason and the friend you had years ago have gone their own ways, had kids, whatever. This vlog shows that you are reaching out, opening yourself to others, that's huge mate. You will make new mates, biking mates, you don't need loads just a select few that you can count on, maybe at a similar time of life to yourself, the biking community is great for helping each other out. Just give it time....join a local bike club. There must be a few in your part of the world. I live in the Highlands, my partner found somebody else and I was out, felt so alone in the world but you are at the bottom at that point and the only way is up and I am confident if you have a positive attitude, it WILL get better. Take care of yourself mate 👍

Separated from the love of my life just over a year ago and still reeling tbh. We were quite insular and I do have a small handful of close friends, but only one of those lives locally and it does get lonely, especially living and working alone (I think we might one day look back on remote working as a silent killer). Thanks for being candid about your situation - it does help to know that other people are having similar struggles, although I wouldn't wish those struggles on anybody, of course. Wishing you all the best. I recommend finding routes to incidental contact with people - just chit-chat - because it helps you to feel more human, even if you're not making bezzie mates with anyone. Stay strong, brother, and remember that you are worthy!

Been there you do come out the other side,

Take it a day at a time - it will get better. Lost my nephew in Afghanistan and then my brother committed suicide. You can't replace them so you have to work with it. Having the bike helps - gives you escape but also helps to meet people. Got a local biker meeting place? Don't know where you are but try Andy's Man Club for support. Guys getting together to talk about mental health. Day at a time.

Sorry to hear you’re going through this pal. Whatever friends you do bring back into your life now. Keep your circle small❤ Not partner related but I’m too struggling with my mental health and signed off till the new year. I’m about to get the bike out and head to Barmouth from Wolves if you’re about 👍🏻

Look at the comments mate, you are not alone.

Hang in there bud you'll be fine, try a date or 5 there's a plenty looking for companionship.

My thinking is this, we all want friends and people who we can relate and rely on and trust ,however, my own way of thinking is,,,you need to like and believe in yourself, also value oneself, Love yourself, also when people see you happy with yourself they normally like to be with like minded people, be yourself and happiness follows 🙂‍↕️☀️🏍🙏 much happiness and love to you brother 👊🏍

I got divorced, which was mutually amicable and I thought I was fine. Nope, not at all! It really affected me far worse than I was aware and I made some crazy decisions. It was strange thinking I was fine, but as time went by I eventually realised I hadn’t been in a good mental space, at all, although I hadn’t realised at the time. Hope you keep ahead of all of that 👍🏻

Finding yourself after the breakup of a relationship can be very difficult, but as a biker you will always have friends. Are you in any bike clubs? I've had a quick Google and in your area there is Shropshire Advanced Motorcyclists, if you are not already an 'advanced' Motorcyclist they will offer training and there are social rides, meetings, and a whole group of new friends. Eventually become an observer and pass on your skills to others. With an Advanced qualification you can volunteer for bloodbikes which isn't just riding, they will run events, fundraising, socials etc. Mental Health Motorbike is another great group for help support from other bikers. You'll never be alone as a biker! Hell, I'm not that far away if you are feeling really down I'll come and meet you for a coffee. Rebuild, learn from experience and eventually move forward to greater things.

Been on my own for 10 years now and love it. Wouldn't be able to put up with anyone's bullshit. On the bike cruising, no worries.😊

Life carries that’s beauty of life every day is blessing especially if you have your good health & freedom to live your life not oppressed by others!faith in God & spirituality & helping humanity helps us grow & keep glowing just look at the suffering of people to just survive will help in not feeling sorry for yourselfs

Sorry to hear you're finding it tough at the minute , I lost my wife 20 years ago and since then I've basically been living on auto pilot , I have lots of friends but don't see them often (but I could) I see them mainly when we meet at bike rallies a few times a year ' I also have a daughter and grandson living with me so I'm not lonely , but because that one person is not there I've never felt so alone , Ive also found that every now and then a nice surprise turns up not to be ignored not sure where in the Black Country you're from but the Moonshiners MCC may be close they're a great bunch and have rides out in that area , I think they have a U Tube channel too Get the winter over and the warm weather returns , it's a small thing but it helps ,,,,, all the best

I always have my special 2 friends, my CBR600F and CBR250R

Yeh bud I’m the same loads off us about unfortunately, stay strong 💪

I wish I could get 4000 miles out of a tyre, you must ride around at 20mph . If I get 2000 miles out of a tyre I'm over the moon.

You sound like a good man i wish you well big time stay safe

Looks like you live fairly near to me. I will be up for meeting up matey, just as soon as I past my das and get a bigger bike. Had my mod1 test cancelled in shrewsbury last week 😢 because of that snow.

yes i understand split up after 22.5 years 6yrs ago and i still feel lost , lonely, and sad , not all the time ,but it still gets me at times like now ,on the appraoch to xmas , i've not ha a decoration up in six years , no point when your by yourself really

Mate, it does get better with time. Get yourself a councillor to chat things through, best thing I ever did.

Ehoa, yup been there, yes we also grew apart. Now 28 yrs later still living on my own, bike in my shed, doing things i love . Brave indeed you are in exposing your MAMAE , never been to a pub either. Im an Introvert so hhjj on living alone and riding whenever or wherever. Friends come and go ehea neh. Stay strong to your beliefs, life is just that, life. Kia Kaha Tane Toa, stay upright and somewhat on course. Oh yeah ,im a Kiwi ex SNCO 20yrs service. UBIQUE

No......

i have been there starting again is hard and to be honest my bike is the only thing that got me through it telling people how you feel is the first step the next step is up to you i tried not to concentrate on what was wrong but on what was right. just remember it takes two to stay in touch dont sit there thinking that you are alone reach out to the people you know even if its just for a chat but the most important tyhing i learnt was no matter how low you feel there are always the up days

Those roads looks greasy as feck your doing well to keep it rubber side up on bald tyres, kettles aye on if you’re up this way. I set you a challenge, go to the pub and just drinking soft, start at one end of the bar and get a story out of every person sitting at the bar

This just came up on my feed. You’re incredibly brave to share your thoughts. That’s a good first step. Hopefully you’ll find someone soon.

Been watching for a little bit and you've helped me start riding and getting through my tests. Talking about this stuff is incredibly hard - to hear you speak it so candidly is a great inspiration! Keep on keeping on and thank you! Big man hugs mate

i think at this time of year loneliness is even harder with the perception that families / relationships are perceived as normal all i can say is hang in there dont turn to alchol as it wont be your friend saying that book a christmass meal at your local if you have one try to be positive

If you think you have friends you’re a fool. I have no friends I have I know but not friends. Friend are people that don’t hurt your are there for you anytime. Not just when they need you. Life is shit. I found that out this year I’m 52 and my life has changed in the space of 3 month. The only friend you have is your bike. You look after it and it will look after you.

All my mates moved away, one of the reasons i passed my bike licence a month or so ago is so i can go to meets and try meet new people. Its hard, but on the other hand things can always be worse.

Always here for you mate.

Sending massive Alby hugs for you buddy, stay strong my friend. Its never easy finding solace in what sometimes seem very difficult times, trust me, somehow through the dark times there is always light and even though things change us and the lives we once knew, we can learn to adapt to a different life that can have its own rewards and help us find a different kind of happiness so its ok to just be ok sometimes, you are a great guy and I know you'll get through this and I for one look forward to the day we meet again and chew the fat over a couple beers. Luv ya Pal.

Many years ago I travelled around the world, alone and somewhat lost. I was blown away with the generosity and friendship that people showed me, unprompted and without reservation. For them it was perhaps a cultural norm , for me an Australian bloke with few friends and a shy disposition I found it astounding. So I decided that whenever I met a possibly lonely person I would make a deliberate effort to engage and invite them to stay, or share a meal or help them with their bike etc etc. many have responded, some are wary but for me it’s a way to help and build new friends and experiences. Motorcycle have featured strongly and those interactions have helped me considerably. But it is still hard for me to do it, I force myself. It’s worth the effort.

I think after lock down a lot of people have ended up in this position. I appreciate a break up with a partner can be very difficult but as people often say, as one door closes another door opens or slams in your face! Try and stay positive and look after yourself, I am sure over time things will improve and the ride outs on the bike can be great therapy.

I don’t have any friends either, only “ associates “. I help others where and when I can, and occasionally receive help in return. Mostly I manage on my own. Meditating is of great value.

I've messaged on fb. But just thanks sharing. Hopefully it gets better and stay positive when you can. You got this

Honest original wisdom like yours can be hard got..but easier to impart for all of our benefits.. Keep it going lad. 👍🏻🇨🇮

Hi Brian I had to leave the family home like you. The verbal abuse and lack of love from the woman I fell in love with was too much for me to take. It wasn’t good for my two boys to see hear and see this. It’s been very difficult. My motorcycles have help. We move on and I have my two lads that still love me.

Lookup The Mankind Project. They do good work.

And drinking is not the solution, it makes it worse.

Hang in there mate. This too will pass, like everything else in life.

Is there not any social bike meets near bye pubs Facebook etc to you give it a go mate

Beautiful vlog pal. I’ve got your back bri ❤️
