Community—A Letter from Florian

Riding a motorcycle represents the ultimate freedom, yet most of us crave human interaction. The lone wolf heading into the sunset far from civilization doesn’t tell an accurate story. Sure, many of us prefer to ride alone, but as soon as the lone wolf stops, the human connections are on rapid fire.

We’re all inherently social beings. Building and maintaining relationships contributes to a sense of belonging and support—something the motorcycling community knows a lot about.

Think about your own circles. Are you part of a riding group? Do you regularly get together? At a time when many people are glued to their devices, it seems as if in-person human interaction is falling by the wayside. And if the first five groups you think of are Facebook Groups, then please stop right there. Those aren’t your friends. Have you ever met somebody from those groups in real life? I doubt it.
