Thinking back to my early riding history, it’s probably similar to yours. Get a bike and ride with your buddies for fun. That’s how I started. Riding locally, then my range of rides started slowly growing longer. Riding to work, then rides after work. Weekend rides, then trips of a week, then 2 weeks, then longer trips, generally what my pocketbook could stand. My vacations centered around my 2 week work vacations. Motorcycle life became all consuming. Joined the MOA, started receiving the Owners News. Oh, the motorcycle riding addiction is much more common than I previously knew. Found the When and Where. I gotta go to these places and meet some of these people. Wow, more rides.
