I have been riding since I was a kid. I have owned at least 90 bikes. I have ridden cross country for several months with my brother and our best friend. My wife and I did one of our honeymoons riding all over New England and the Adirondacks on our own bikes. Last year we rode to PEI and the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia.
Motorcycling will give you an appreciation of freedom that you will never get in a car.
If you do this don’t just buy a bike and ride to the closest bar. That’s pathetic. Learn to ride and take a tour. Ride through some big mountains, along the coast, take a ferry, camp. Everyone you meet will know you are on an experiential adventure.
The rides that try you (rain,snow,tickets,crashes,breakdowns,etc)will provide excellent stories, the rides that are uneventfull blissfull cruising…(twisty deserted mountain roads,etc.) those are just for you and your well lived life. They will help provide you with that envy enducing last sigh.
