  So like i was saying, I'm on the road with a couple of really decent people. But like all things, personalities can get in the way. Thats the thing with road trips amongst friends especially new found friends. You don't know what you got until issues arise. Like 2 can be riding along and getting along like a house on fire then a third personality joins the mix. Then clashes become inevitable. I find it strange, cause I am mainly concerned about the ride. The ride is what it was meant to be all about.

  This Blog is in by no means an attempt to land crap on any person, and if its taken that way by any party, then they are interpreting it, in a way that it is not intended. I cannot control how peeps interpret what I write. 

  I thoroughly enjoyed the time i spent with everyone i met on this trip. After all thats why i came back. Last time i mainly rode alone, or with people for a short time. This trip however i had guides, and these guides brought a whole new meaning to this ride. In the perfect world we should all get along. Unfortunately we  don't live in the perfect world. So we have attitude and perception creeping into the ride. 

  Recently I was asked by a rider who happened to be leading as I toured the roads surrounding the dragon down on the Tn, NC border...if their particular leading skill enabled me to enjoy the ride. Of course it was okay...I enjoyed the ride. I even managed to lose concentration at 10 over the posted speed limit, and run the lines....in some corners...I have to admit the photographers were the main concern...as i didn't know where they were located..and looking at them rather than the line of route...caused the problem....

  So in essence...I think people should care less about the idiosincracies of others and enjoy what they have in the moments. Oh hang on thats in the perfect world, something we have to try to achieve........lol.
