Q: Simply asking what you can do to make things better is only half of the solution. You also have to follow through. If you want the friendship, commit to making changes within yourself to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future. For instance, if your friends were angry because you stood them up to hang out with your girlfriend, let them know that it won't happen again. It may help to set aside special times or days to hang out with friends or hang out with your partner. If you have betrayed, hurt, or humiliated a friend, they may need reassuring that you still care for them. Remind your friend that you still love them and that they are important to you. Don't grovel or overdo it, thoughthis may come off as insincere. You might say, "We all have been friends since third grade. I love you guys and I can't imagine my life without you." You might also do something nice for them, like make a card or buy friendship bracelets. The best way to strengthen the bonds of friendship is by spending quality time together. Prioritize hanging out and chatting with your buddies over the next few days and weeks. This shows them that you are making an effort. Spending quality time also backs up your claim that the friendship is important. Many people avoid conflict with those they care about because it is painful. However, fights between friends help you recognize areas where you need to grow. Plus, making up often helps you remember why you care about one another in the first place. Conflict may be useful for growth, but friends shouldn't always be fighting. Be wary of friends who are always starting fights or always blaming you for something. Arguments can also be a way to manipulate friends. Remember to offer balance during conflicts. Listen to the other person's concerns and validate them. This will encourage more constructive dialogue. Also be aware of when it is time to move forward and leave a problem in the past.
A: Address the problems that caused the rift. Let them know how important they are to you. Spend quality time together. Realize that conflict makes you stronger.

Q: A wheel chock is a slot for the front tire. It keeps the tire straight while the motorcycle is in transit. Start by attaching a chock to your trailer or truck bed. Position it at the back of the bed and center it. Then bolt it down. Wheel chocks are available at automotive stores or online. Some trailers have holes for attachments like wheel chocks already in place. Look for pre-made holes for the bolts. You can also install a wheel chock temporarily if you don't want to worry about attaching screws and bolts. Position it the same way, then tie it down with ratchet straps. The strap tension will keep the chock secure. Use a specialized motorcycle ramp that can support the weight of your bike. Attach the ramp to the trailer bed. Then gently roll the motorcycle up into the truck bed. Don't let go of it at any point or it will tip over. This is much easier with two people, one holding on each side. Some utility trailers have built-in ramps, or are low enough that you won't need a ramp. Don't use wooden planks for this job. They may not support the weight of the motorcycle. If you're loading the bike into a pickup truck, remove the tailgate if you can. They sometimes can't handle the weight of a motorcycle, and could break. Roll the bike to the back of the trailer and rest the front wheel in the chock. On most chocks, the mechanism clicks when the front wheel fully enters it. When you hear this click, the bike is in the correct position. Do not lower the kickstand. You can put it out temporarily while you gather your equipment, but raise it before you tie the bike down.
A:
Attach a wheel chock to the back of the trailer bed. Load the motorcycle into the trailer with a ramp. Position the front wheel into the wheel chock.
