I ride motorcycles. I have been riding since 18 with no incidents, thank God. I have rented dozens of bikes and ridden all over the world in all types of terrain. It never ceases to amaze me that an old middle age retiree will go out and buy the biggest, fastest, heaviest bike as their first bike. It is a deadly mistake. One easily made in a sports car that can put out 800hp driven by an inexperienced driver.

I’m looking at getting a bike, a used cb750 to try to learn. A lot of guys ride theirs in on nice days.

It will go to my parent’s place where they have a lot of acreage and dirt road to practice on before taking the classes and seeing about a license assuming I can get the hang of it.

I know an instructor/repair shop owner who is a good fellow and would tell honestly about how I would do.
