Asking what got me interested is tricky, because I don’t specifically remember becoming enamored with two wheeled vehicles, I always have been. I remember straining my little 5-year-old neck when I heard a motorcycle approaching, jumping to see over a window ledge as one drove by.
It was always approached as a sort of “pipe dream” that no one took seriously. My dad has always been a big automobile buff- either selling cars, driving cars, or riding motorcycles. Part of this came along with being raised on a farm- they used motorbikes to go check on the land as much as they used horses.
Which brings me to my next point. I love horseback, and over the years I’ve discovered many lady motorcyclists do as well. I’m not sure if the same goes for men- that cowboys also love motorcycles- but I sure know this cowgirl does.
The simple answer to your question: Motorcycles are beautiful machines that I’ve always coveted. So the moment I could buy one, I did.
