I bought a motorcycle when I was in school and never met anyone with it. People will wave to you in the street but how do you turn that into friendship?
Take your motorcycle to a local monument or park or look-out spot. Park next to all the other motorcycles. Find someone standing next to their bike and say something like "that's a nice bike. What is that?" Let them tell you about their bike. Ask them if they ride in the area. Tell them you're also from the area. Ask them if they want to go for a ride sometime. See if they're with a group. Ask if you can join their ride. Ride with them. Usually rides end up at a restaurant or bar. Hang out. Exchange numbers. Go for rides some other time. Tell them you're a new rider and ask for tips. Tell them you've never changed your oil and ask them if you could do it together when they change theirs. This works especially well if you have a bike that everyone else has. Get a gixxer or an R6 and rake in the friendships.
