*UPDATE* Finished the class. Jump to the post where I talk about it. https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...le_class_first_time_riding-3.html#post3177655
Earlier this year, I signed up to take a motorcycle class. Its coming up the first weekend in August.
I've never rode a motorcycle before, and just like owning a gun, I never thought I would want to ride a bike. But something changed in me this year, and now own 3 guns, want to learn how to ride a motorcycle. And another think I want, that I thought I never would want, is a tattoo.
I'm about this as a learning experience. To see if I want to buy a motorcycle, and start riding. But lets say I love it, and must own a motorcycle. What would you recommend starting to look at?
I don't know a whole lot about them. But love the bobber style. Growing up, I always thought that if I had a motorcycle, I'd get a crotch rocket. Not I don't think so.
Another consideration, and the reason I'm only doing the training right now, and not jumping on buying a bike, is that I want to make sure I can ride it first, without any problems. About 6 months ago I bad back surgery. So just need to make sure riding one, doesn't put me in an awkward slumped over position.
Am I crazy for wanting to start riding a bike now? Anything a starter should look into getting. I don't need the biggest, baddest, loudest one. And I'm only really thinking I would just make short local trips with it at most, starting out.
