I've been riding since 1971. My wife got her motorcycle license in Japan before she learned to drive a car. I'm on my 8th motorcyle now.

You should get back into it. I only started riding in my 40's and I love it. It's much easier to ride in the street than in the dirt. Get a lighter bike, practice possibly in a parking lot or school, take the motorcycle course, and go out and enjoy. It's like nothing else, especially when you're doing the driving.

I had a Hayabusa and loved it very much. I ended up selling it though cause it is hard to ride on the road safely any more. People drive crazy as it is, and the roads are congested and people have no regard for motorcycles. I didn't want to take a chance on getting killed or disabled so I sold it.

I used to, then I realized that they cause divorce and sold my last one. I loved them, but I've wrecked four of them. Three of them were on the street, and it was hard to stop, at 70, when there was a large buffalo in the way. Very bad day for me, darned wildlife refuge. My last accident broke me off, and I still drag my leg sometimes...I was clipped from behind on the track and it threw me up in the air. I didn't get the sponsorship because of it, and was very upset. I love the bikes and the world of bikes, speed is great and fun, and ladies look great on the back of the bike! So, heres what I'm saying, yes I've ridden, and its always going to be in my blood. I hope that you get back into it.

Nope, I ride one.
The difference may be why you had a problem. Driving and riding are different. I got my license in my 20s, so it wasn't the age. As long as you feel that you love riding, it's worth looking into a riding course.

I haven't actually driven one but I have been on the back of plenty- love the feeling of freedom and the wind [ the bugs in the teeth thing is a bit much though ] lol

The weight takes getting used to, it's not a bicycle. My first motorcycle was a 1978 Honda XL350 -- a dualsport.

You have to have a bike that fits you. Once your skill level increases you can go beyond. Dirt is fun did it for years yamaha YZ400 racebike. I now have my first street bike. I love my Harley Crusier, but now I want more. Bigger, faster,
