If you are new to riding or know someone who wants to start, the AMA has a good article about where to begin and some basic info everyone needs to know or “re-know”. I made that word up, but you get the picture. Lots of good links and resources.
People come to motorcycling in a lot of different ways.
There’s the guy who suddenly realizes that all his friends are going on a weekend motorcycle trip and he’s the one missing out because he doesn’t ride. There’s the woman who has been a passenger for years and wants to ride her own ride.
There’s the middle-aged guy who sees a kid on a dirtbike, remembers the happy riding days of his own youth, and suddenly can’t recall why he ever stopped riding. Or the young woman who spots the sleek new sportbike in the display window and suddenly decides, with absolute certainty but with no warning, that she simply must have it and learn to ride it.
These are both general examples and actual true stories. All of the above are people I’ve met in my years of mingling with other riders.
But for as many different ways as there are to get into motorcycling, there are a few common experiences everyone has.
