Have you ever been out for a ride when suddenly another motorcyclist passes you? Then another. Then another. Before you know it, you are hugging the right side of the road as a very large group of riders begins to roll by.
When I see these groups I often wonder what it is that has brought them together.
How long have they all been riding together?
Is this a one-time thing? Will they ride together again?
Do they have a secret handshake?
Is it complicated? If I were to join their group could I learn it quickly or would I have to practice? How could I practice a handshake alone? What if they saw me practicing? Would they ask me to leave the group? How could they? I just got in!
And so it goes in my helmeted head . . .
