Not everyone is capable of riding a motorcycle. I started riding dirt bikes in my early teens then progressed to street bikes. Started a family and exited the street bike scene. Thirty years later I decided to get back in. Because I had been away so long decided to take a motorcycle safety course. There was a guy in our class mid fifties never been on a bike before . We were riding Buell 250 cc bikes so very easy to ride. This guy just did NOT have the hand/foot coordination to ride a bike. He must have dumped the bike 6 times by lunch time. His jeans were torn up and he had abrasions on his hands and elbows. He quit and left the facility . We felt sorry for him but were glad he found out the hard way in a parking lot under controlled conditions vs. the cruel world of the highway .
As for me I got my license again but quickly learned I had lost my nerve to be riding on the street so I have exited the street bike scene . It is not for everyone.......stay safe out there guys !
