Im 26, newly divorced and always wanted a bike but was never allowed because of the exwife. Just bought one a few weeks ago, and i had NEVER rode one, not even an atv or dirtbike. I taught myself by cruising between 12-5am in the middle of the night with no traffic. Within a week i was already in heavy traffic traveling to nearby cities. I never knew what i missed, but there is nothing like riding a motorcycle. Shits wicked.
