I found this out on picture day they line you up by height first guy and only 3 girls shorter I was 4th in line by height LOL at young age hated it when on bikes loved it cause I was faster than most my age cause of weight advantage especially when i hit teens and they all grew to 5 10 6 ft 180 i hit 5 7 135 LOL 40 or so pounds on a bike is HUGE

Amen brother! I started riding at 61. Four years later: the good news, one or two tours every summer; the bad news, three bikes in the garage. Riding a motorcycle is as close as we can come to flying like a bird. It’s all about mass and momentum. Velocity and friction. Acceleration and braking. Like a bird you fly around corners a foot off the ground. It’s a profound experience of the physics of the world in which we live.

I am a 46 year old man and just started riding a motorcycle last year! I have to say it is one of the most rewarding feelings in the world. I am so happy I finally started to ride and to be honestly it is also super healthy. Yes healthy, because when i lost 10 pounds! I did some research and i read that motorcycles give you a core workout unlike driving a car. You will also save on gas!!! I say if you ever wanted to ride a motorcycle, give it a chance, and do not be stupid! Do not speed, do not try and play chicken with a car, and always wear your gear.

You’re also exposed to the element on a motorcycle than in a car. I remember hearing in a Andrew Huberman podcast that it’s good to be exposed to cold early in the day as it releases more dopamine and increases testosterone if I remember right. So if you commute to work in the morning, you’re likely getting those benefits from a neuroscience perspective and the benefits of increased vitamin D😊

He did not give up and he was able to complete the class this year and is losing weight. He is getting out of the house for the first time in 20 years and he loves it! So yes riding might have added years to his life.

Being in my 40's I never even considered riding motorcycles until one day last summer it hit me that my life has been so safe and boring. We need adventure in our lives and getting my license and buying a new Yamaha MT 09 (such a good looking bike) has been the best life changing decision I've ever made. When the weather is good, you can just get on your bike and ride with no destination in mind, two three four days whatever just go find fun scenic roads and enjoy.

I live in Australia and ride a ZX10R as my daily commute. I have owned a bike as my daily since I was 18. I am now 50. I have a 15 min ride to work almost all of it on an expressway. Entering the Expressway at 40-50 kph over the limit to seamlessly merge into traffic and then slow down the the fast lanes speed is a rush. Then you get the days when another rider (on any kind of machine) is travelling with you. The two of you move as one through the traffic and I usually sit behind the other guy as it looks so cool as we weave in and out. Then he takes his exit and you both nod or wave as you part. You just shared a pretty intimate moment with a total stranger, and they loved you for it because you both have a love of motorbikes, and that makes you respect each other. No words are shared just the riding and a nod farewell.

I started riding because I felt like I was stuck at a job that I hate, my home life was almost as dull as work, and at 51, I needed to find something to do for my sanity. People talk shit about a midlife crisis being something washed-up has-beens go through as they pine for their lost youth. Not me. I felt incredibly depressed that I was only halfway through life and ready for it to be over. I still feel a tinge of disappointment when my alarm wakes me up and I realize that I made it through another night, but, at least now, I know there will be some portion of my day, even if it's only half an hour or so, that I will spend doing something I enjoy. F-off, world, I'm riding!

Now I have a motorcycle and it's fantastic!

I recently got into motorcycles around the middle of 2022. Before I could get one to ride, my father passed away in late July. I went and did the MSF course in late October. My father's bike was left to me. I finally got it up here to NC around the middle of January. So I go from the MSF course in October to getting my dad's 2016 ultra glide limited in January and lo' and behold that is my first bike. It has been quite interesting learning to ride the big bastard but at least I get to ride with my father in some capacity.

My first ride ever on a bike was over 40 years ago. As a pillion I travelled about 250 miles across northern Zambia (central Africa) on the dirt roads (then back again), on the back of my big brothers Kawasaki KH500 triple cylinder 2 stroke. One of the most insane experiences of my life. 2 year later I got my first bike. In my 50's now, and I still ride virtually every day. I can't imagine life without the wind (and rain) in my face.

Getting into it for the freedom of travel and the feeling you get from being so out in the elements and indeed the risk does trigger something primitive in my brain.

I started being a rider due to love; My daughter is 60 miles away from me, and I saved all I could to get me a bike, and now I can see her more often and not slay my finances while at it. Also, a nice ride clears the mind from the crap from work or just a bad day. You don't need to get to warp speed, I'm more in the line of just your engine purr, the road and the sound of the wind eroding your thoughts and silencing your inner demons. And don't get sleepy while so

Riding motorcycles was something that interested me from a young age. I've grown up riding and racing MTB and got my first taste of motorcycling when I was around 14 and rode some cheap crappy 125 four stroke. I rode random bikes very occasionally over the years. 9 years later (last summer) I took a beginners course and bought my first bike after a hard break up. It helped me. I've struggled with depression ever since I can remember and since I started riding, I rarely if ever have bouts of depression anymore. I love riding because of the raw experience. Not many vehicles accelerate like a motorcycle and I can't help but grin ear to ear every time I do a 2nd gear pull (even on my Husky Dual sport 610). You notice new things about routes that you have driven a thousand times. Where my bike can take me is almost limitless. It's decent for most riding, but excels at no type. It's not so much about the destination, as it is the journey. It's the sunset seen as you make your way down a windy mountain road. It's rolling through my quiet suburban neighborhood in the evening and seeing young kids grinning ear to ear as they stare at me roll past. It's the teenagers with their heads poked out the window yelling "Do a wheelie!" It's the unsolicited comments from older riders at the gas station that start with "I used to have a bike just like that years ago...." and the stories that come from these folks. It's being humiliated as some short, young kid gets my bike unstuck. It's remembering that there is something to be learned from every rider you come across.

It's in my blood. Started with an 8 horsepower micro cycle. West end two stroke. Vicious thing with no suspension. Just waiting to highside you on a dirt road, knock the wind out of you, burn your leg, eat your jeans, throttle where the front brake lever should be. Just a beast. After that a Sears MoPed. Two speed, pull in the clutch and twist the whole mess to change from Hi to Lo. Pedaling was impossible in either gear. Also shifting was not an option. You had to decide what range you wanted to ride in, the manually adjust the clutch cable for that gear only. Compared to the micro cycle it was a relaxing new adventure. After that, a brand new blue Honda 50 Supersport with FOUR speeds!!!!! I was off to the world of adventure. Riding the neighborhood until I hallucinated.

I started riding just last November on an extreme impulse (started on a CG125, got my dads 2010 CBR125R later on) as I needed a pick up and go mode of transport. Now I basically ride to unwind. Riding a motorcycle is surprisingly cathartic.

It’s fun, it’s easier dealing with traffic, there’s no feeling like it, the community, being part of the scenery instead of looking through a “tv” aka windshield, another skill to add to life, events and more

I started riding in 1978 16 years old and still riding every year for 46 years. I moved to the Philippines a year ago bought a Yamaha 155 sniper. Smaller than my roadster I had but still lots of fun riding and commuting affordability.

I started riding for a lot of the reasons stated. I love riding my bike (the peddling variety), but there are no trails nearby that don't take up half my day to get to and execute. That's what started me thinking I should learn to ride a motorcycle. It's a lot to learn and adjust to, but I enjoy learning new skills that you don't acquire overnight. You can't get lost in your thoughts - riding a motorcycle is a full mind and body workout. I find myself more relaxed when I get home from a ride, and I'm grinning like an idiot when I find that "zone" on the road. You really are in a special community. Just this past weekend after pulling off the highway, I stalled after a weird stop, took a second to collect myself cause - like I mentioned, riding is tiring - a couple of big Harley guys pulled up and just asked if I was OK. Cool stuff.

I'am definitely convinced. Dont know any none riding Motorcycle and every one around me talked out of it when I mentioned it, so I stuck with cycling bikes cost as much as a Motorcycle. My bike is wearing out its time for a new one but I want longer trips and higher speeds I hold back no more! Love the look of the Vulcan S and looked up the best place to make my license. Time to collect mone for it and book a motorbike training!

I started riding for two reasons. First, working at a dealership at the time, I needed to be able to make use of all of the products. Secondly, I have this insatiable desire for the most engaging driving/riding experiences I can find, seriously, the weirder, the better. from all manner and vintages of cars, Ag and construction equipment, military vehicles, boats... you name it, I might have driven it. If I haven't yet, I want to.

I used to race cars a few years ago but since starting my full time job/getting my career going, I stopped since I didn't need to race anymore for money. I sort of regret stopping and while I enjoy driving, it's just boring and makes me sleepy now. Riding bikes is almost like that feeling before the light turns green to me and it's exhilarating and fun.

I ride cus I can filter through traffic very easily when it is crowded. A motorcycle adds a lot of mobility to the equation of power and speed. You can just park in front of your location without looking for a big parking space, etc. Besides it's just hella fun to ride.

Thank you yammienoob for teaching me the safety of riding while I was a beginner. You have taught me valuable lessons.

Living on a farm as a kid and to be able to se my friends i had to be able to get there myself and the first ride i was allowed to ride on open roads was a moped at 15. That got booring pretty fast so as soon i was able to get my licens i did. Started on a Suzuki GSX400E -82 and learned enough to not kill myself. I have ridden a couple of sportsbikes through the years but found a good middleground now in my early 40:s of fun and comfort in a Suzuki GSR750A -15 which i ride now. I still got my 400 (20 years later) which i plan to build a cafe racer of.

The point that driving a car is boring is why I drive a manual. Banging through gears makes any drive better. Even rush hour in Columbus OH! :) (just get behind a semi and roll as slow as you can in 1st, almost no braking and steady progress). I am getting into motorcycling this year though and can hardly wait to ride!

About to get my license at 39, glad to see people starting even later! On monday I'll have a practice session, the first of a few before taking the test. After all that it'll be just trying to get a bike, which will be a bit of a challenge... a decent bike costs like ten salaries 😢

I'm going to college this year and to never deal with public transportation again. Me and my family don't own a car, and its so costly to get a cab every time I wanna go to the mall and it's such a hassle to go anywhere with public transpo. I've only had it since January 9. I love it to death and I can't wait till I get my license and my license plate so I can start exploring. My bike is a Philippine exclusive Honda model called the TMX 125 alpha. It's the most popular bike here. The price is at $1000. It's a naked bike. Minimal maintenance, the parts are available everywhere, and its custom potential is endless
