The small handful of friends and myself have been together for more than 50 yrs ..... we still all dare to live our lives as we want .... small town Nova Scotia is like that in one case my buddy’s Mom was my Mom’s best friend..... I’m talkin men who will go to wall for each other and beyond .... got casual like minded guys I ride with , that not what I was referring to ... meant no offence , guess we all have different understanding of words like friend ...

Its all good evryone has a different idea about friendships, I was lucky when all my mates at school finished school we all got into motorcycles at the same time riding dirty bikes and getting our licence at 17 then into road bikes, where we live at Sandgate it was always a biker town from the early 1920s and looking at old photos of the area and the mount of bikes parked in the main street.
In Aussie land we look after our mates, help out when needed, we have our best mates we hang out with and we have mates we ride and hang out when we get the chance and its great when we all getogether for a bike run or party, there are mates that I can only handle a short time with as they can become a pain in the arse, but they are still mates and we all have friends like that in a big group, but we all stick together, I am a friendly person and talk to strangers and try to get on with who ever I meet in life, I treat people the way I like to be treated, I am alwys polite when it comes to the ladies, but get on the wrong side of me and I don't hold back and if any of my friends get hassled by anyone I be the first one to step in.
Some people I have met and have become great mates, it all boils down to how you treat others, Australians are a friendly mob, we have our strange ways how we see the rest of the world, we do things completly different to the rest of the world, we love our beer, bikes, cars and girls and we party hard and just enjoy what ever is happening in life, we don't take things to serously, we have a laid back life style and we love our country, we might not be flag wavers but we are a proud bunch, we hate our politics and the way they are selling us out and getting us in more shit.
Sorry think I am getting carried away here, just enjoy life and look after your mates, I think the rest of the world could learn a lot off us Aussies.
