Hi everyone. I am a pretty new rider and used this website to help me make some decisions last summer. Mostly, the ones you must hear everyday. You know, which bike, how big, etc. Anyhow, I am a 'newbie' - 46 year-old rider. Just never had the chance or money before to ride. Me, the wife, and our two boys live up here in Rutland Vermont. I have so many questions that I can't seem to get answered from people around here. I hope to get some help from all of you and maybe someday, be able to help other new riders out.

I believe you'll find those are the correct answers to the most important questions you said you wanted to ask (at least to the best of my MC knowledge and psychic ability).

Kidding aside, congrats on joining the ranks of riders. What kind of bike did you get?

I'm a mid-40s rider as well and I think its a great pursuit for those of us who have the life experience, wisdom and perspective that allows us to avoid making a mess of ourselves out on the road. Plus, my wife thinks I look good in the leather jacket (she's both kind and generous).

.. and of course 42

I am a mid-40's newbie rider as well, so you definitely are not alone. I am not sure why I never did it earlier. I always wanted to learn to ride, I guess I just wasn't ready until now.

So yeah.. as SantaCruzRider suggests.. tell us about your bike.

If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be. ~Author Unknown
