I had no moment. I was destined to ride. My father rode Indians until they went out of business in 52, then he switched to Harleys. My mother rode (she passed in 1986 and we still have her motorcycle in my younger brothers basement). my older brother rode, my older sister rode. When I was 15 and got a job my dad took me down to the local Harley dealer and we bought my first street bike so I could get to school and work afterwards. When my younger brother got old enough he got his first bike and still rides. My sister 's 2 sons both ride, each of them had a son and they both ride. My wife rode. My son rides. He also married into a motorcycle family. His wife rode. Her mother rode and her father rides, 2 of her cousins ride. Then my son had 2 son's who both ride Yamaha mini bikes and will someday undoubtedly street ride.
My older sister, my younger brother and I all worked in motorcycle shops. You might say motorcycles are in our blood. You should have seen all the bikes at my son's wedding lol.
In our family it's perfectly normal and sort of expected to ride.
