How do we meet other motorcycle people without looking stupid?

We want to make some other motorcycle friends. Most of our friends got bikes after we did but we want to hang out with and some different people. How do we meet them, and become friends. Like wouldn't it be weird to (after talking with them a bit) just hand them our phone number and say something about riding together? I don't know any suggestions?

How do we meet other motorcycle people without looking stupid?
If you want to meet other bike riders just walk up and introduce yourself, comment on their ride, then strike a full conversation and see if you have anything else in common besides the bikes. If you do say hey why don't we hook up sometime and go on a short ride. If they agree then give them your number, if not don't feel bad cuase your not a loser, your just wanting to make new friends and no one can have to many friends.
Reply:Here in Milwaukee, we have this thing called two-wheeled Tuesdays. Buncha bikers gather in a parking lot and hang out. It's a restaurant parking lot. Anyway, if you could find a situation like that, you'd get a chance to meet and talk with lots of people. If you meet up with some you want to spend more time with, you could start by suggesting getting a cup of coffee.





Then you get to talk some more. Depending on how things go, you could certainly bring it up at that point. I mean, it's not like you're asking them to a spouse swap or something, right?





Perhaps you could say something like there's a really neat town you want to check out, or mention some specific destination. But mention it as a trip you already have planned. Then just casually mention that perhaps they'd like to ride along?





And yes, just talk about bikes. Point out something you like about theirs, or ask about something they've customized. Chances are, that'll be the opening they've been waiting for, and you'll be off and running.
Reply:The best way is to compliment their bike, once you get talking, the rest flows. Look around, go to poker-runs, rallies, whatever is going on. Join a group.


Stay out of the biker bars.





99% of the bikers are the best and nicest men and women you could ever want to meet.
Reply:Why not? Say that youre looking for riding buddies, people with similar bikes and riding experience.





Another thing you can do is post an ad. If you live here in America, post a personal on craigslist.org looking for other riding partners. You'll have plenty of people to choose from! If youre anywhere close to SF, California, hit me up!





You meet the nicest people riding motorcycles. Dont be afraid - we dont bite!
Reply:Join a riding club, such as the SCRC.
Reply:Almost every dealer has some kind of get together during the riding months. it might be an open house or the like. Read bulletin boards at the shops to look for rides. There is something going on every weekend. Join a local riding group this is pro bally the easiest.
Reply:Go to local rally's, or the Christian Brotherhood. Great people! Bikers are actually a pretty friendly bunch. By a Biker rag like American Iron, and they have a huge section about Rally's in your area. Also try poker runs, meet some great people and get a chance to win some money or cool prizes.

ME AND MY HUSBAND RIDE A HARLEY, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RIDE YET CAUSE THE WEATHER IN CHICAGO IS NOT THE BEST RIGHT NOW, BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN, OUR PROBLEM IS WE LIVE IN THE CITY AND WE HAVE TO GO TO THE SUBURBS TO CATCH THE BIG WAVE OF BIKERS AND SEE IF ITS KOOL TO RIDE ALONGSIDE WITH THEM AND EVENTUALLY STOP SOMEWHERE AND CAST A CONVERSATION TO OPEN OURSELVES FOR FRIENDSHIP!
Reply:go to biker bars!
Reply:Just join one(or more) of the 1000's of Yahoo Motorcycle groups. Find one that suits your style or bike type or area of the country, then join and find others with similar interests in common with you. I run six Yahoo Motorcycle groups for various bikes and/or locations. I've met and made many friends because of Yahoo Groups. Try a couple.
Reply:1.Go to a motorcycle event,like a poker run.


2.Depending on what you ride or interests,you can look into a club in your aria





3.It's never too cold for Chi-Town riding.
Reply:Just hang out to biker clubs and bars. It will be easy to start a convo especially with the people who have the same bike with you.
Reply:Just be yourself. Act like you would if you met anyone else. People who ride motorcycles are people just like everyone else. We dont bite lol
