Motorcycle Viagra

I know the warning signs...

You turn 50, you find yourself Googling "skate boarding" and "Nepal hotels" and ... visiting motorcycle shops.

On impulse, Sheri and I made that unplanned stop last summer. We toured the showroom. Harmless enough. We sat on a few; talked "motorcycle" with the owner; and thought maybe someday we too could experience that free riding, wind in your hair feeling. 

Now that the kids are gone and we're looking for more ways to spend  "us" time, riding a bike together does have it's appeal. I envision riding with other couples, taking road trips together — think of the experiences!

Statistics show that most fatal crashes involve new motorcycle drivers. And the majority of those are guys my age. No doubt, guys like me, inflicted with mid-life motorcycle passion.  That scares me.

Why couldn't mid-life have hit me at 24? It would've been much easier.

Last week I got my learner's permit and I'm scheduled for riding classes this summer. Yes, classes.

Watch for Part Two: Jim and Sheri Shop For Leather.

Oh, I should mention: this was Sheri's idea.

Nearly half of motorcycle deaths are aged 40 and up. Baby boomers and younger men searching for the fountain of youth. Sadly, these poor guys have never ridden a motorcycle before in their life or have any idea of the physics of motorcycling, let alone the cars and their drivers.
If the title is the reason that your desiring a motorcycle, buy the viagra.
