I can't relate.
I was sitting at Starfuck's last night sipping on- a bastardized, raped and pilliaged- coffee product with some folks from the TSBA. Everyone was chatting it up, having a nice time of things. Normally, we can pretty well relate to anyone regardless of what we may or may not have in common and conversation doesn't come too awkwardly. We talk about tires, gizmos, recent rides or just stuff in general, but largely moto related. By and large, everyone present was mid-30's and older. Also present was the girlfriend of an aquaintance and, while nice enough (and a rock climber) a bit too young. She rides and can talk some about that, but last night she was excited because she's getting ready to turn 21.She was rather vocal about it, I'm sure she wanted other people to be happy for her being able to legally consume alcohol at a bar, but I don't think anyone could really relate. Most of the people present had kids, could barely remember being 21 and probably didn't care if someone could or could not consume alcohol, especially considering most of them choose not to at all. It wasn't really that big of a deal, but I'm sure she felt uncomfrotable when no one had anything to say about it and pretty much just went back on about their business of talking about GPS devices for the motorcycles.
It wasn't a big deal, it just struck me as funny.
