HERE'S THE ANSWER I THINK YOU WANT. GO FOR IT. YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG
ONCE.

I still have my motorcycle endorsement on my license, but I think the
reaction time is not there anymore to ride.

I just stopped because this is not a motorcycle friendly place. Too
many people who can't seem to see one in the city and not enough roads
to make it interesting in the country. Southern Md used to be a great
place to ride with lots of little winding country roads criss crossing
the 3 or 4 southern counties. There is really nothing like that here.
Roads tend to be long straight 2 lane blacktops.

It's not safe riding in the country either. My old diesel mechanic
was riding his bike in the boondocks somewhere around here and hit a
turkey vulture with his head. Neither he or the vulture survived. His
widow is now married to the brother in law of my present diesel guy.
Small world.

The birds around here are not very car savvy it seems. I once had a
young eagle fly up right in front of my truck as I was driving on a
back road. It was a *very* close call for both of us.

A friend hit a bear in Shenandoah River State Park. The bear ran off, he busted
a collarbone, and his brand new Triumph was in bad shape.

I've had close calls with stupid auto drivers, but have been lucky as far as
animals go.

I believe our friend Tim hit a deer with his bike if I remember
correctly.

Yup. He was lucky also.
