Beginning of My Motorcycle Adventure

First my background, I can ride a bicycle. Now when I was like 7 or so, I broke an arm flipping over one, but I’ve done alright since then. I last flipped over one when I was 15 or so, and didn’t even break anything :) That’s over two decades without bicycle injury! Thus, I felt I was ready.

I’ve never drove a motorcycle. I think I may have been a passenger a super long time ago. I never drove dirt bikes, but did ride as a passenger with my older aunt when we were both kids. That’s the extent of my motorized two wheel experience.

Why am I doing this?  It is there.  Or, I like to try new things, and it something there.  Or, my wife wanted a boat, but we don't live by water, so this was a compromise.  Or, when I was younger, I had fun riding on a dirt bike as a passenger with my aunt.  Or, I'm getting older and needed a midlife crisis adventure.  Or, I'm always looking for new challenges and this is one.  Or, do I really have to have a reason?  I'm doing it.  I'll see if I enjoy doing it and if so, I'll keep doing it.  Then after I'm into it, then I'll figure out the reasons.
