Begining Motorcyclists: Start Slow or Get Right In It?
#12
My experience was more like a Honda trampoline. I started riding in 2012 as a 53 year old with an '82 CM450E, came down to an '09 CRF230M and bounced up to the '14 CB1100 Deluxe. I put about two and a half years on each of the first two bikes. I've had the CB1100 since March. The only thing I really grapple with still is the weight of the bike, not the power.

As a Christian, I once heard it said (I think by Chuck Swindoll) that the last thing to get saved on your body was your right foot, alluding to everyone's general inkling to press past posted speed limits. In my five years of motorcycling, my sin nature has not had its way with my right hand as it did/does with my right foot. It's the weight, not the power or speed for me.
