7 Things People GET WRONG about Motorcycles

I am definitely a rebel. I rebelliously pay my registration and insurance every month, and I rebelliously ride my motorcycle to and from my job at the hospital every day. I'm essentially a 1%er

"wearing gear is cumbersome". You get used to it. The real issue is getting overly confident in it and riding more recklessly cause you think you can't be hurt

You're right about bicycle skills vs motorcycle skills being different. However, in my experience there are some mountain bike skills that are very helpful to have when doing low speed maneuvers on a bike.

I got myself a RE Meteor 350 as my first bike. I'v always liked cruisers and while yes, it's pretty heavy for its size and power output, it's the perfect beginner cruiser.

Thanks for being an advocate, Yammie Noob. The truth is, doing fun things is probably always going to be more dangerous than NOT doing fun things. This doesn't mean that no one should do fun things. Rather, the risk should be mitigated, and managed. I've been riding since I was a teen, and now I'm in my 60's. I can't imagine giving up the freedom of riding, even if that means I'll occasionally get rained on, or have to watch out for oblivious cagers on their cell phones who don't even realize i'm there. You just plan for those inconveniences, and act accordingly. Besides, life itself is 100% fatal. You better do stuff while you are alive that makes you happy, because it's really short number of years, even in the best of circumstances.

68 year old rider here lots of touring miles. I Hate Rain !! Its always that rain storm 200 miles from home on your way back from a great tour hum bug. Visibility to drivers is a big concern find shelter to hide. Perfect content always relevant. 😊

"An I.T. Professional making $90K+/year and has money to blow on a toy." You got me. 😆

Fact check: I am in IT and ride to relax.

Downhill riding a MTB technique kind of apply to riding a motorcycle you have to apply all of the mentioned above (Counter steering, progressive braking, maintaining traction, speed adjustments for cornering). Of course the MTB is way lighter than a motorcycle but it does help.

Nothing like arriving at work in the winter on a rainy or even snowy day with your motorcycle helmet and your waterproof suite, feels like everything they will throw you at work after will be a piece of cake.

I've decided to start a pogo stick channel called Nammie Yoob. Pure coincidence. Don't sue me. "Dress for the drop, not for the pop!" Not bad huh!?
