I started to ride beacause, in England, you could get a motorcycle license at 16 (you have to be 17 for a car license).
I still ride because I love the feeling, the economy, and the mastery of a machine. I also love the intrinsic beauty of a well cared for, and loved, engine!
I have owned motorcycles almost continuously since I was 16. I REALLY like my KZ650, but I wish I still had my 1959 Triumph 5TA SpeedTwin!
