Could use the Org's help... - SV650.org

22-02-10, 09:34 AM

Hi all,

I do feel a bit daft bringing this up on a forum, but if it helps it will be worth it.

Does anyone else ever feel lonely? I must admit to having very few friends, and the ones i have now tend to live around various parts of the country so really only see them a few times a year, i am married but my wife is also in a similar situation of moving up here not long before she met me & so being in a similar situation.

I must admit to feeling rather jelous when i see groups of mates just having fun together, does anyone have any good advice on how to make friends or meet like minded people? no matter how hard i try i never seem to manage it.

Cheers

What kinds of things are you (and your wife) interested in? I assume bikes is one?

Similar situation here. But I never have any money or any spare time, so I rarely notice.

Head for Rivi Barn on a tuesday evening

To be honest, I was the same. Most of my mates were from School / Uni and are now all over the world.

However, for me and Lily, the org has been amazing. The friends we have met from here are now what we would class as some of our best mates. In fact, some we see weekly and travel from Bolton / Southampton (You know who you are!!!

).

My advice, meet up with org guys and gals around near you, there are quite a lot in your area and everyone is a laugh. I can honestly say, I have yet to meet a "bad apple" from the org. lol

I have three main hobbies - biking, karate and I also race RC cars - met loads of great people in all three over the years so for me that's how I would approach it - if you are into something, even if only a mild interest, get involved in something local to you
