How I found my First Riding Buddy Story Time

- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- When I started riding I didn't know anyone who rode besides my Grandpa. For the first two years that I rode I didn't have any other riding friends. This is the story of how I met my first real riding friend.

I guess my story is, I have a good friend that had financial issues due to his wife's health. He had to sell his trike and still has not recovered. Last year he so wanted to ride again, but knew he could not afford anything. Soooo, I bought them a Vulcan 900 (trike conversion). Now we all ride a lot together.
WAY TO GO BOB!
Loved how you met your riding friend. I met mine by Internet Relay Chat in 1998. Jeff lived in the UK, I lived in Australia. In 2000 I moved to the UK, shipped my bike over, and started riding together. First trip was the Isle of Man in 2000. Done many trips since. More than riding buddies, he was best man at my wedding in 2005,and is my closest friend. We share a love of books, food, ale, music, and Moto Guzzis. We tour perfectly together, laugh a lot, know when to say nothing, and deal with adversity with good humour.
It’s just a ride until something goes wrong, then it’s an adventure..
100%
And it happens more than we would like.
I like that. That’s a good one.
I ride two, three times per year with my two riding buddies of over 35 years. One now lives in Sparks, NV, the other in San Jose, CA and I in SW WA. We all did live in San Jose when we started to ride together. We've been in the desert many times at well over 100 degrees, lots and lots of rain and even in and while it was snowing. We use to camp all the time but not so much anymore all of us over 70 now. Our only problem was no one cares which direction we go. Plan A is made but Plan B is usually what happens. We just enjoy the journey, company and being on our motorcycles. Not one complainer in the lot! Enjoyed this vlog. You do understand.
That's awesome!
YES THAT IS AWESOME.
You've met my riding buddy when she rode a little GROM wannabe halfway across Montana and back and grinned the whole time. The first ride we went on together was about a week after she got her endorsement. She rode my crusty old Honda Magna through Yellowstone Park in the rain, except for when it was hailing . . . . . Or almost snowing. I was out front on my Harley and kept stopping (largely because I was wet and cold) fully expecting her to ride up with tears in her eyes, only to see her grinning ear to ear. We were wet, we were cold, we couldn't see, and we all had a blast because nobody was complaining or blaming their misery on anyone else. Her, myself, my best friend, and his wife, were all in it together, we all embraced the suck and had a great time and a great ride. I came away from it with an entirely new respect for her and she's still my favorite riding buddy, largely because she'll do ridiculous shit with me like ride two tiny little Chinese motorcycles to RMR just to prove we can do it, LOL. I've met yours also, Marissa was camped next to me the first year I went to RMR. If I remember right she was riding a DR650??? Could be wrong about that but I remember her, she's cool as can be and I hope to cross paths with her again some time.
He became my best bud when I realized that his dark humor, sarcasm and his skill to say the most inappropriate things ate the most inappropriate times to lighten the mood matched mine. Since we got communicators it's been a lot of laughs even during rides and a lot of OMG from others riding with us and listen into our conversations. Good times! 🤣
Have I mentioned before, Don't plan a trip, just plot an outline. 😀 Determination and attitude is what separates long term riders from the once upon a timers. You have the right attitude. 👍 End: Yes I have someone I will ride with. Together we don't have problems only solutions to the challenges. 👍😎
A great story, told with genuine, lovely big smiles! My no.1 riding buddy is the guy that introduced me to motorcycles when we were 11 - on a moped in a field behind his house. 40 years later we ride together when we can and shoot the sh*t at coffee stops. We are just both tuned to the same wavelength. Sometimes won't meet up for 6 months to a year - no matter - just pick up where we left off.
Thanks Mike!
!! That's awesome! I love it :D
Great story Amanda. My riding buddy is my husband. He got me into riding in 2010. I have met some really good friends in some of the groups and forums I have joined over the years.
Absolutely fantastic video , great story telling, and a gritty tale , you should make more story times all the best from 🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it Duncan! Thanks so much!
I always enjoy someone else’s misadventures more than my own. I’ve been in similar circumstances, the latest was in South Dakota a few years ago. It was toward the end of May, it was windy and absolutely pouring rain. At my last gas stop someone decided they needed my waterproof gloves more than me and took them from the fuel tank of my Victory Cross Country Tour while I went in to pay for my gas. Needless to say, I got very cold, wet, blue hands and chattering teeth, but I didn’t stop riding until I made it to my destination In Gillette Wyoming. I managed to find a suitable pair of gloves and a motel. The next morning it was 30 degrees. I put on my Gerbings heated jacket and layered up (new gloves and all) and headed west on I-90. I caught up with a BMW riding two up. The woman on the pillion looked at me as I passed them and I could tell she was not having fun. I thought of the previous day ride and thought to myself, “someone else is having a worse day than I had ”. I sped past them and eventually turned into a roadside rest for a bathroom break, while I was getting back on my Victory, the BMW pulled in, I made eye contact with the young lady once more and she totally invalidated my concerns for her when she smiled and waved as I pulled out. This woman could have been you, or your friend..... in it all the way 100% committed to the ride, no matter the weather or any other circumstance. I Loved your story......
Had an ( already a) buddy that I took a 1500 mile with. My bike had a charging system issue that delayed the trip home. We hoteled at least an extra night-met guys at a shop that helped us out. Then made a four hour bomb run home in darkness. Would have been so much harder if buddy didn't stay behind. Nice story time. Hope you still ride w/ your buddy from time to time.
Great story and adventure topped with the bonding with another rider. Sounds perfect.
Love your story!! My BFF riding buddy is the best. I have many examples but one that sticks in my mind is when we also had a few wrong turn mishaps in Death Valley. I was out of water, freezing cold, pitch black at night (December) and could not feel my hands any longer. I was shivering so bad my headlight was shaking lol we had no choice but to keep going for another hour and a half or so till we finally found a hotel. He kept me going by telling me funny stories the whole way. I knew he was just as cold as me but he never let on, he just kept me focused. At that point I could not even laugh at his stories. But I appreciated them so much. Good times. PS-do you put any of your art work on bandanas? I’d love that if you did.
Met my friend at work that we bonded over our love of Wayne's World. Last year he he drove 30+ hours from Oklahoma to Washington to go camping with me in North Cascades/Cape Disappointment. He had never been camping before and this was like my 3rd time ever camping. Now he's my camping buddy.
After decades of riding I can say with absolute confidence that it is those difficult rides with a buddy that you laugh and reflect upon. I really cant remember those perfect weather rides! Its always the rain, snow, windy, rides that are cemented into yer knoggin!😎
On my first trip EVER off Long Island I was blessed to have a small crew of guys one of whom became a constant riding companion .... on that day it rained ... and when I say rain I mean sheets and rivers in the road rain ... My eyes were glued to his tail light as that was the ONLY thing I could see ... he was an experienced rider and had great patience with me ... I was too naive to realize what I had done, but from that day forward I was part of their group ... I didn’t complain and I ‘powered through’ ... so I completely get it .... :-)
the best trips are always the one where something not planned gets in the way to make a great memory, cheers from Bali
Awesome story!
If you like motorcycling, could there be anything more gratifying than watching someone working on their own bike? Yes, at the same tome listening to a wonderful story like yours Amanda!! Thank you very much for sharing such magical video and story, I wish I could find my riding buddy one day too!! ❤
Great video and awesome story it is always a great thing to have a riding buddy who is there to support you. Me and my riding buddy were headed to Colorado a couple of years ago and we were headed across Southern Kansas pulling our trailers on our Goldwings when I passed a Kansas DOT truck at 70 miles an hour when I suddenly blew out my rear tire I ended up in the ditch with a totaled bike and two broken ribs and luckily I was wearing my modular helmet that day that saved my head and face. My buddy stayed with me the whole time and saw to it that my bike got towed and then came to the hospital to make sure I was all right. I seldom ride alone and when I go with a buddy it is always Stanley my faithful compadre. Great story Amanda keep them coming. Cal from "A Wing and A Prayer".
Thanks so much for sharing your story with me :D
we should all strive to be THAT friend. let the good times roll...
It’s always great to find a moto-friend. I met a girl with the same name as me on IG. We met up at a location between both of us because we live in opposite directions. We talked about how we like to ride & went on our way. While riding traffic got backed up and we were barely moving on the expressway for about 30 min. Our bikes were getting hot so we exited and found out a guy was on the train tracks backing up traffic. She didn’t complain & we cut our ride short and headed to our homes. Since then we’ve been cool! Not only were our bikes similar but we had a lot in common😊
I had a similar adventure with my younger brother the first time I went on a multi-day trip. We rode up to Burlington, VT in April ‘09. We spent 4 hours on the side of a country road in Vermont waiting for a tow truck on the first day. On the second day, we got rained on in 50 degree weather for hours, and stopped in a random (awesome) diner in the Adirondacks to change into dry clothes/warm up. Also my bike randomly shut off on me in the middle of nowhere, but thankfully it restarted (still don’t know why - maybe the road spray shorted something in the electrical system?) One of the best rides I’ve ever been on.
What a great memory you will always have finding your riding buddy. You both will laugh about that trip forever. Thanks for sharing.
Master story teller and I loved this one. We all need one of those friends that are also riding friends.
AW Thank you BoDean :3
Truth I wish I could gift everyone a riding buddy like that.
What a great story/memory you created.
Living life instead of just existing...
I have a smile on my face, the whole time I watch your videos.
So glad I found you.
Thanks Freddy!
Love the way you tell the story. You have a gift.
Most motorcycle tours that include the phrase "we sought refuge in a tavern" seldom end well... but :) ..... are never forgotten. Great story and very well told. The best part about stories of such friends, is that you realize there will be more rides and stories in the future. Well done!!
lol Thanks Richard!
Amazing tale and what a gift you found each other!
What memorable story. Thanks for sharing. Some of the most epic memories stories is when I've experienced difficulties....then laughing over them while sipping tequila later.
My favorite riding partner... My wife. She's so awesome to ride with. We have also gone on many fantastic non riding expeditions over the years (Yukon River, the Arctic, etc..). She is so supportive of my solo adventures when she is unable to go. You can see her ride the NW Passage in my last 2 videos. ~GrizzLee
That's so lovely! :D
All in fun, experience and building friendships. These are my type of people.
“Embrace the suck” buddies are the best. We all need them, and we all need to be them!
Yes! *high five*
This is how the best story begins keep riding
Great video! Amanda. My best riding brother sadly is burning up the highway in heaven these days. On the overcoming adversity part there are many stories and many adventures lol. ie broken chain in the pouring rain at dust in hell and gone New Mexico 😜
Thanks David!
I hope you have lots of great memories of him!
Oh my gooosh how did you break a chain? I have so many questions!
@@AstheMagpieFlies well the way you break a chain is.. you are riding at dusk in the pouring rain looking for the turnoff to a campsite and almost miss it but when you pull off the road ya slide a bit in the gravel and that throws a few rocks on your chain so when you let the clutch out the chain derailed to the inside and the sprocket bolt bust 6 side plates off the chain. But hey I found the campsite!!
You are really down to earth and enjoy listening about your adventures! I like traveling but do everything solo as none of my riding friends want to do the miles, thanks for letting me enjoy the ride with you via your videos.
I have been on rides that everything that happen to you and Melissa happen to us. The rain, dropping the bike, missing turns and everything else but you made a good story of the obstacles you had to overcome. good job both of you.
Thanks Jim!
Everybody makes a "Wrong turn" at some point. I have made many, but always recovered.
I think road trips are always about the story. Great story. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
These are great videos. You are a great story teller. I know what you mean by finding good riding partners. Ill ride @40 degrees and I love to find new roads both paved and not.
Thanks so much Allen
Kinda told you this once before when a group of us were on a weekend trip to Alturas CA Burns OR and back to Portland. On the way back we were going to take a ride across Wamic Market Road to Hwy 35. Got in there and hit a snow block so we turned around and went back to Maupin where the wind was howling so we decided Mt Hood would be less windy. Took off and hit sleet. So much for better. I pushed thru with the other guys (I had only been riding about a year) and went over the hill but I never complained about being half frozen. This was a fun video. I tend to ride mostly solo. Hopefully that will change this year and I will be able to do some rides with my oldest son. :)
I have a buddy like this however he doesn't ride. We've been 700 feet up a rock face hanging off ropes on Christmas Eve at 2 am in the worst storm I've ever experienced without shelter. We laughed and cried the whole night thinking we could potentially die.
The best riding buddies never complain!
Heck yes! Rolling with the punches is what it's about!
I know your pain girl! I've rode with friends, riding clubs, an relatives. However, I find myself mainly riding alone. I actually like to ride, not standing around talking about riding. Lol...
What a lovely story, a likeminded soul is a very hard thing to find. End screen answer: I'm a lone wolf, one of my closest friends has always called me that, my 'people' are my two (grown up) kids, they are different to one another but they are definitely my likeminded souls.
Thanks Neil :)
Great story! Thanks for sharing!
A true friend will never leave you behind. Even when you ask them to.
I loved this story! Great!
That was awesome, my friend! End screen: I have people that I occasionally ride with (never more than a day ride, normally ride alone because that's the way I like it), but no one that I have taken any trips with, though I've had discussions with a couple subscribers of my channel about getting together for an ADV ride with camping (2020 happened and postponed things, maybe this year...). Have a great weekend, ride safe, my friend! 😁✌
Thanks man!
This is one of your best videos.
Wow!!!!!
Friends Forever = Forever Friends!!!!!!!!
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Heck yes! :D
love that story!! you guys are legendary!! now i gotta go out and "do the thing!"
You have to always love a good story and the stories we make when riding with friends are the best. I am glad to hear it all worked out. Ride Safe
what a lovely story! ❤
I don't have a trip buddy, yet. I have been riding a fair amount with the boy (son) and his girl. They are newer riders and haven't done a trip of any sort. I'm hoping that they'll get to that point. Love those guys. ❤👍
I hope they get out soon with you :D
GREAT story! Loved it. Your content is among the very best out there!
Super uplifting...I hope I get a riding buddy like that some day! ♥️
I hope so too! ♥️
totally agree! Where can I find a buddy like that??
Coolest Story I've heard in Ages.
Your Welcome. I meet a new Adventure Riding Buddy through our Cleaner at Work. Her Son has been riding solo and she worries. So we exchanged Numbers and went on a "Blind Date," and he showed me his riding loops around the Wilmington, Melrose and Wirrabara, South Australia. It was a fun Day. now we're riding mates with Plans to ride the Flinders together down the Track. Kiaora.
Embrace the SUCK! Love it. My riding buddy is my lovely wife. She rides her trike and I ride my bike. We have been to Maine to Key West. To Sturgis. We have has some awesome adventures. Rained so hard for so lone the rain suits totally gave out. Just got a hotel. Met a rep from Butler Motorcycle maps in the lobby. What a great trip to Maine and back to Ohio.
Thanks Jeff!
That's wonderful! :D
You are awesome! Thanks for all your hard work in making and sharing these videos.
Snow? On a mountain? hehehe. I do NOT have a riding buddy. But I've had "embrace the suck" buddies usually while skiing or on a road trip. I'm ok with that at this point as I'm really doing this for myself and want to be alone. Thanks for posting this. Cheers Marissa! (hope I spelled that correctly)
I truly appreciate your stories/videos, I am still going through all the old ones. I think you would make a great riding buddy yourself.
Sounds like you found the person to share cool moments with.
Yay! Embrace the suck! So great to hear that story about Merissa! I knew she was a good soul!
What a wonderful storytime!
Thanks Ollie! :D
فيديو ممتع شكرا
It’s always an adventure! You tell the bestest stories!. End screen.... always solo. But when I lived in Florida I found the best diving buddy. (Cave diving no less, so your buddy is your lifeline!). Could anticipate what the other was going to do. If I ever find someone like that to ride with it would be fantastic!
Thanks Bob! I really appreciate that! :D
Cave Diving!! That sounds crazy! haha
@@AstheMagpieFlies I do miss the diving, but that was another life ago. Nothing like getting into a 72 degree spring and swimming upstream. Some caves were big enough to have semi truck races if they were dry. Others were tight restrictions to get from room to room. Or you could be swimming through a cave and only be 6’ under water. But that 6’ was solid limestone. Good memories.
Such a great story. I smiled while watching because it reminded me of a similar journey I took with a riding buddy I had just met. We had several things happen at the start of our ride that she never complained about but helped me find the humor in it all. Such a wonderful bond you can make while testing your own abilities. Riding with other women is awesome.
I don't really have a riding buddy yet, but a lot of my friends are getting their lincense. So i hope i can convert them to being the "embrace the suck" rider that i am trying to be ✌😁. Love the storytime videos by the way :)
Heck yes! *high five* Randy!
@@AstheMagpieFlies ✋
convert? save your energy, lead by example. if they still need to be converted, find new friends. let the good times roll...
Great story! I’m fortunate that my family are my best riding buddies. Sure there are times when we don’t get along, but if one needs something, the others are on it till the problem is fixed.
My daughter and two of my brothers are the team. So when you started your trip with your brother last year I knew the feeling that you had. Family is the best but not all family is blood. Ride safe.
What a fantastic story!! I just moved to the Portland area, and am looking to purchase my first motorcycle by May this year! I hope to ride with you and Marissa in the future, you both are so positive-minded and amazing!!
Thanks, hope you find the perfect bike for you!
What a great video! You really do have to appreciate people that can let it all roll off and just keep moving with humor!
I came over from shadetree,love your videos!!
Ever since you mentioned the tire treads tattoo on your feet I've been curious. Thanks for showing them, looks like they'd be hard to sit through. Super cool though.
👍 lol that was part of the point lol so the other guys at the shop would leave me alone about not having full sleeves. It worked.
@@AstheMagpieFlies Haha, I was in the Navy and have no tattoos. Probably breaking some kind of law.
You are one lucky woman knowing that you’re a beautiful person and have a beautiful lady friend and a great story to remember. ✅
You're last comment is absolutely true!! "Sometimes the best trips are when things go wrong!" I've had more than a few of these and enjoy those memories the most! Met one of my great riding buddies at Touratec rally. Just happened to plop my tent next to his ....the rest is history! IDBDR, WABDR....more trips planned. AK I'm hoping!
Thanks Dale!
That's freaking awesome :D
What a fantastic story time. Love it. Makes me want to ride more than I think I can!!!
lol Thanks Jill!
Great story, well told! Sounds like a friend for life!! It seems to me, the best trips are the ones that don't go as planned. At the least, they're more memorable!
great video i prefer to ride with atleast one other but i completly understand why riding alone has it perks not having to worry about everyone else schedule..
Great story! Having someone stick through it with you is so valuable, especially on the motorcycle. I don´t have riding buddies, but my wife is riding pillion and it s great to know what she thinks and feels and how she reacts to things on a trip.
I had the front tire of my GSA keep going straight when I hit a tight corner in northern Cali. Abs, Tc, no good. Used my legs and saved it, similar conditions to what you described. Another rider with us reported the same problems. 😧
I like storytime...that was fun!
Great story, well told! Sounds like a friend for life!! It seems to me, the best trips are the ones that don't go as planned. At the least, they're more memorable!
Thank you for sharing, such a beautiful story. Loved it!
Wonderful friends are hard to find.
My favorite riding buddies are tied. One of them has been the person that has repaired somebody’s tire, then somebody else’s tire, and finally his own. Always with a smile and great attitude.
When a person in our larger riding group dropped their bike in a parking lot and it hit a car, the highly acclaimed riding buddy and I both immediately were like, “ Yo! You had better leave a note!”
.
.
PS: some of your stories get to me, I’ve teared up a bit, they’re good tears, ones of joy. Your stories have really been helpful through 2020.
Thank you for listening Matt!
Nathan is also one of those people who helps everyone else and then fixes his own stuff all with a great attitude. Both Kris and Nathan are just incredible humans jeeez.
:)
Really enjoy your vids and content. Im an old biker from England.U.K. Complete respect to you for adventures and getting stuck in the way you do.
Thanks so much J !
As always this was a great story and fun to participate in. Speaking of participation have you all gotten your registrations in for Rocky mountain Roll 6 this August?? get them now before they are gone. The best $50 bucks you'll spend this year!!!!
Thanks Falcro! :D
Love this! You are such a joy to watch! Thanks for sharing your stories.
AHH!
I felt as if I were right there with you. I loved it.
I did not find riding buddies I felt comfortable with for 18 years after I started riding. It takes a while, because there is alot of trust that comes with riding with someone.
It can take a while! but I'm so glad you found some!
So great. It’s wonderful how adversity bonds people - wonderful story & you tell it well, I was there, freezing & exhausted, with you. Where can I find your 2021 calendar??? I’m still looking for my riding buddy. My running buddy is the best. He is a beautiful soul & calls me on my BS (-: peace & love Amanda
Like attracts like. The specialness of you created a path that crossed paths with the specialness of your first true riding buddy. That is how the Youniverse works. The outer landscape merely reflects the inner one. Thank you for sharing this delight-full story.
Thanks man! :)
Iove your narration.
Thank you kindly!
I've been riding for 35 years but just last year did I meet my favorite riding buddy from a Riding App. We hit it off right away and rode quite a bit together last year. We like to ride at the same place and on trips we seem to have the same agenda. Can't wait to meet up for some longer trips this year.
Which riding app?
Fantastic intro! I will watch the rest later, gotta go for now(-: peace
Peace!
Another great video - stay epic !
Amazing story. Friends like that are hard to find..
True!!
In adventure it isn't the stuff that goes right that you remember, it's the stuff that goes wrong that makes the best stories.
100%
I love this.
That was a great story Amanda. Enjoyed the vid and very cool on this bond between you two.
Thanks man!
I truly love this channel .
AW Thanks so much Steve!
