You see, the trip is more than just riding a motorcycle....its about spending time with your best mates.
but you know...every year has its moments, and its also a chance to meet friends from the other clubs that I havent seen since last year........
Your words say it all.
Its a small-scale fight and will only help you if you win?
What about if you lose?
Will there be other fights in the near future?
Your friends are great. They are telling you to go, to let you off the hook.
The Ride was YOUR event. Would you feel OK about missing it? Having something special happen and you weren't part of it. When the guys talk about it year to year are you OK with knowing that you missed it?
Another thought. Is it possible that one or the other may not come off. Will they ride if the weather is really bad? Will the fights come off if there are only a few who sign up?
For me, it would be ride with my mates. They will be a part of your life in the years to come.
