FIRST TIME Female motorcycle rider at AGE 50! Motovlog Introduction.

[@GingerDashMoto]

THANK YOU for tuning in to my very first motovlog! It’s imperfect, and there are plenty of changes and edits I’d make now...but as many someone’s have said, you have to start somewhere, or you’ll never start at all.

[@lolaleslie66]

Girl! My story is almost identical to yours! First time female motorcycle rider here at age 50! Been a passenger for years, then my husband bought a Harley a few weeks after my 50th and I started feeling like I didn't want to just be on the back anymore. Bought my first bike for my 50th Christmas! Looking forward to watching your journey!

@Flasher Trasher I am sure that's true, I just don't have access to a dirt bike. But if I ever do, I'll not shy away from giving it a go! Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it!

[@lolaleslie66]

@Flasher Trasher That was what my husband says too, best to start in the dirt. I have a little KX85 and it scares the crap out of me! It's like a rabid Chihuahua! lol

[@SteveInskip]

@@alicemcdougall2541 you should start a channel as you'd be an inspiration to older riders everywhere. I've been riding solo for 47 years now and still love it as much as the first time. Mind you when I was little my dad used to collect me from infant school on an old Lambretta scooter, no helmet, couldn't touch the running boards and there was a point in the rev range when everything vibrated......even you're teeth! 🤣🤣

Much respect for starting your motorcycle adventure at the age of 50. You're not alone. I'm a 72 year old gentleman who never rode a motorcycle, never sat on a motorcycle but always had a desire. Anyway I decided at age 70 to learn. I to bought my 1st bike before I knew how to ride. I too had a bad experience at the MSF class so much so I failed. I got home depressed and thought well I guess I have to sell my bike. Next morning I thought hell I've never given up on anything. So I went to my DMV office, took the written exam and got my temp permit. On the 1st Sunday I went to the DMV course, took pictures and took measurements of the motorcycle course. I found an unused paved lot where I duplicated the course. I practiced and practiced and practiced. When I thought I was ready I went to take the DMV ride test. Well I froze up and failed. Again depressed I made another test appointment. This time I passed with flying colors. I'm now on my 3rd bike and loving it. So here's to you're never too old to start a new adventure. 👍

[@GingerDashMoto]

That’s some serious dedication! You didn’t let anything stop you, and that’s something we can all learn from. If you want it bad enough, you’ll put in the time. Congrats!

I started riding in 2019, aged 54. As a Veteran with PTSD, it has been a major part of my recovery process. My therapist has even commented how much more engaged I am with my treatment plan. Age is but a number and two wheeled therapy is primo value.

Good for you! I started riding at 50 too. I never even road on the back. I took the state run motorcycle class here in my state just for fun and fell in love with riding. I've never looked back. Made many friends riding and had tons of great adventures. Enjoy yourself and always ride your ride and don't be pushed to ride past your comfort level. I'm 60 now with 50K+ miles under my belt without any accidents. A few parking lot falls but that's it. If you're ever in the Pacific Northwest drop me a line. We have tons of great roads out here.

I’ve had a couple of tough years breaking my back and losing my parents and I found that at 47 it was just great to be learning a new skill. Also as I’m Scottish and live in France it helped me learn more French. We have much harder training structure here and are restricted to 47hp for first two years but for all weather commuting that is fine sometimes. Glad you love it so much too

It’s ALWAYS scientific where cows are concerned. 😆 I grew up in a rural area and had them in the fields that bordered our property. They received names! And take all the time that you need to motovlog or anything else for that matter. I was far too busy being a mom when my son was little to do something like this.

Great story! I have been a firefighter/EMT for most of my life and in the course of my job had seen accidents involving motorcycles and always shied away from them. When I retired (the first time) from the career fire department I worked at I got my first motorcycle at the age of 50 for a retirement present. I have enjoyed it ever since.

[@GingerDashMoto]

That’s interesting, James. My dad was an EMT all throughout my childhood. He told a particularly gruesome story about a motorcycle accident one time that stayed with me my entire life.

[@CrimsonAnjel]

As a woman, it's really great to hear from female riders because I think we can relate to each other better than we can to men and vice versa because of our general size. It's really tough getting advice from a 6'2" 210lb man when I'm 5'5" 150lb because their experience will be completely different than mine. I don't have a bike yet, but I have a plan to get one and it's really nice to hear from riders to get advice, expectations, etc. So thank you.

I am 53 and currently waiting on the arrival of my first motorcycle (Honda CT70 clone 125cc) Nothing like yours for sure but still a motorcycle. My late husband and I had a Honda Goldwing 1500. We were married for a total of 3 years when he passed away from a massive heart attack at the age of 43. It was so invigorating just to be a passenger. I have NEVER driven a motorcycle before either and I am super excited, anxious, nervous all at one time! This has been very encouraging for me. Thank You so much for sharing!!

My condolences on the loss of your husband “Sunshine”. As far as riding is concerned, my best advice is to be patient with yourself as you learn. Learn the basics, and then practice - even just a short while - as often as possible. Eventually, your confidence will grow. And one day you’ll realize you’re no longer nervous and it’s just pure enjoyment. Best of luck to you!

I'm not quite sure how KZbin decided to show me your channel, but I'm so glad it did! I never even rode on the back of a motorcycle until I was 50 and my husband bought himself a bike as a 50th birthday present (he had ridden a lot when he was younger). I rapidly went from "I'll go with you once in a while" to "you know, if something happened, I should be able to get this home". Two years after that first ride, I took my MSF basic class and I bought my own motorcycle... and I'm so glad to be where I am in this adventure! It's good to see that I'm not the only one who has begun this journey in my 50s...

My wife did the same thing. Bought her first bike at 50 and has never looked back. I am a lifetime motorcyclist and am really proud of her for doing this. We hope to see you on the road sometime. Travel safe and have fun!

[@zacariasbenta3910]

It's never too late to follow your dreams.

[@jamiewood265]

I totally understood you when you said "if not now, when?" I have had my motorcycle for a month and I have only gotten to ride her twice. But I am hooked on that feeling of freedom. Good job on the vid.

[@GingerDashMoto]

Right?!! Congrats on the bike, Jamie! I've been away and am just now catching up on comments. How has it been going for you since you posted here?

[@randyswanson3300]

If it hasn’t been mentioned yet, watch “Ride like a pro” and “DanDan the Fireman.” They give a lot of good pointers for riding. Good luck in your new adventure.

[@GingerDashMoto]

Thanks, Randy. They’re on my go to list of channels too. Some great content on both.

[@LTLT900]

Not cyclecruza though. Hes an idiot.

I would also add MotoJitsu to this list!

[@cynsk8]

You go!!!!! We are a rare breed. I just learned a 2 wheel, took the Harley class on my 57th birthday. I’m already hooked. I hope to have my vlog up soon.

[@GingerDashMoto]

That’s fantastic, Cynthia. Congratulations!!

[@temporaryaccount1039]

Your riding thats all that matters

[@spotsterjon74cu]

Welcome to the wonderful world of motorcycling, probably the best fun you can have with your clothes on👍

[@FriedBalonyPony]

Great to see a fellow rider being passionate about riding. Stay safe out there!

[@jax3065]

Yup I'm just turned 50 and I've gotta get my bike before 51

[@vfarias]

The thing about bikes is that it's never too late... kudos to you! Keep safe and a big hug from Portugal

[@kafael8362]

You don’t look 50 at all.. that’s incredible

[@smyffmawzz]

How did you work THAT out !??

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@smyffmawzz Thumbnail! did you close your eyes, scroll and click a random video lol

[@safwansafeer3291]

Yea she looks younger

[@Wingnut_Stickman]

This spring marks my 50th anniversary riding motorcycles. I started at age 7, bit of an advantage perhaps. Glad you started, whatever age, biking makes you younger. Good for you!

[@alan15768]

Hey I started riding again at age 58 !!

[@aconcretecat]

Me too

[@tommynikon2283]

22 to 39 here; started again 3 years ago...at 62. 50,000+ miles, 6 bikes later....STILL enjoy the buzz.

[@davidhanger5795]

I appreciate your son's service. I enjoyed this video. You're a new moto-vlogger and the editing is pretty decent so I'm a bit envious.

[@GingerDashMoto]

I’m still learning, but tried to be somewhat prepared to start posting. Even though the videos aren’t perfect, I knew if I waited for perfection I’d just put it off until I talked myself out of it. Thanks for stopping by, David.

[@jeannoelsandrazie1874]

Don't worry. Experience is the name we give to our mistakes.

[@racerx3669]

just make sure you watch the road dont watch the horses. congrats.

[@kingkrimson8771]

Good to see more and more ladies riding, safe travels to you. ps. don't forget to cancel those turn signals when you're done using them LOL

[@bikerdash27]

Lovely video, I might try a first video now, well done!

[@jimm1240]

Just discovered your vlog. Very cool! I also got my first motorcycle at 50. I had a Honda Z50 when I was a kid, but that was it for my riding experience. My bonus was being paid right on my 50th birthday, so I figured it was a sign. I took my MSF course 5 days before my birthday, go my license a couple of days later. Signed the papers on a Triumph Street Twin on my birthday and took delivery the next day. Don't get to ride it as much as I would like. Keep riding and vlogging!

[@lizmcdonald3108]

I was happy to come across this! I'm 47 and just started learning in the fall and have the itch and am nervous all at the same time. I as well have been a passenger but it was so different when I got to drive it! I hear you! I bought my first bike 3 weeks ago.

[@vintagetrk]

Glad to see a new rider especially a female rider. Been riding and racing bikes my whole life and I love seeing women start riding. Be safe and have Fun.

[@jameshayes8910]

Welcome to the community! I have been riding since I was 12 years old and still love it 50 years later. Very glad to see you start a new vlog and I'll subscribe then catch-up on what you have produced.

[@suzannearent123]

52 year old here and just bought my first bike and learned to ride last summer! I love it - will never look back!

[@royramdeen8864]

Gina, so happy I came across your motovlog. I am 59 and just bought my first motorcycle, much as 7T1vtte in the comments section, and yes I have 3 bikes and don't know how to ride and have never ridden. I am a car collector, and just afraid of riding on the road, due to some of these drivers. I have learned a new respect for motocyclist and stay away from them and give them the room they deserve. Just got my learners and hopefully will be riding this summer. Thanks for your boost of encouragement and all the rest in this volg for their words of wisdom.. awesome work on the your vlog.
