Greetings! I know a few people who hate driving but love being on a bike. Motorcyclists often refer to cars as “cagers” and once you ride a bike you really can feel trapped as if you were locked up in a cage. Especially when you’re stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.
That being said, I love driving or riding anything that’s got power, for the most part. I love horses, cars, go-karts, motorcycles… so I actually don’t think I’m the best person to ask about this. However, I would always suggest signing up for Basic Rider Training in your state. Here we’ve got Team Oregon- you can take their course in order to get your endorsement.
Getting on a bike (on your own) on a closed course with specific direction from instructors will give you a safe place to experiment (where it’s okay if you drop it) and see if it’s something you want to pursue. 🙂 Good luck and be safe!
Ever look back at photos from trips and realize that you don’t have any with your motorcycle? Photos with people included are way more memorable, even though we love looking at our sexy machines. Amanda Zito and I made a little how-to video with tips and tricks for snapping photos of you on your bike!
