As I said, I'm really just ranting more than asking for advice. For the most part I really do keep my philosophies to myself and just do my own thing. I don't push my ideals on others and avoid preaching or arguing even when my opinion is asked for. Who knows, maybe I'm not trying heard enough to explain my motives.
People change and friendships come and go. I have a fair amount of friends and very few have anything negative to say about my bikes or my ideals. Sometimes it's just a bummer when someone you have spent a lot of time with over the years, takes offense when you don't want to do things that revolve around the car.
Alas, the weather is way too nice to sit on the Internet and complain.
