So, I have to start by saying most of my life I have not understood riding and thought it was a dangerous way to spend your time and money. With that said as I have gotten older the idea has started to appeal more and more. The straw that broke the camels back is visiting my brother in Vegas and he let me through a leg over his Harley, it has been game over ever since.
I took my MSF course back in September at Polaris and had a great pair of instructors. I have since bought my first bike (2015 Triumph Thruxton) not into the whole cafe racer thing per se. The bike just felt right and I couldn't get the smile off my face during my test ride.
I have commuted to work a few times on my bike while the weather was good. Now that old man winter is letting up I am starting to get out for some short rides despite the cold.
Anyway, I am checking this out at the advice of my MSF instructor and hoping to possibly meet some people and get advice when needed.
