my bike is my primary transportation unless there's snow on the ground. Been that way for almost a decade and I don't see it stopping anytime soon.

Been on or around motorcycles for most of my life. I took my first ride at 3 (as a passenger) got my first dirt bike at 11 , my first street bike at 16, my MC endorsement at 21, and with the exception of a 2 year break where I wrecked the bike and was not in the "right place in life" to be able to nor did I want to ride, I don't really see myself stopping anytime soon, although eventually I see myself on a goldwing.

Motorcycling has been a major part of my life, and hopefully will remain so. I started riding motorcycles when I was 16 (1969 Triumph Bonneville), and the end of this month that will be 40 years. I've been legally licensed to ride motorcycles in 13 states: NJ, NE, NY, CA, KY, KS, SC, GA, HI, NC, UT, WA, and now MD. I've also been licensed by US Army Europe (USAREUR) for riding a motorcycle throughout Europe. I've ridden motorcycles in: Panama, Honduras, Thailand, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria.

I've been riding as a passenger off and on since I was 3. I've only been riding my own ride the past few years....about 5 now. Motorcycles have always been a part of my life, even moreso that I ride my own. And my passion for riding has grown since then. I don't ever see a time in my future where motorcycles won't be.
I mainly commute and do some weekend riding. About once a year I get a weekend trip in. After the kids are grown and out of the house, I want to do some track days and see the country via motorcycle.

I've been riding for about 15 years now and don't really have any reason to stop. I enjoy the time to myself. I ride sportbikes, but really enjoy long solo rides. Group rides are starting to bore me, I guess I'm out of the scene.

That's a good way of putting it. I'd probably insert friends as #2, and bump motorcycles down to #3, however since most of our friends also ride, it goes hand in hand.
I definitely see us riding in 20 years; I think we'll graduate to sport tourers eventually, and I'd love to do some long distace and adventure riding. |

Motorcycling is a huge part of my life. I'll ride as long as I am physically able to. Fortunately for me, Carolina is into motorcycling as much as me, so I know she feels the same way. Might have something to do with why I proposed to her.
