A lot of people dream of riding a motorcycle, but never give it any indepth thought. They simply think “I couldn’t do that, it isn’t safe” or some version thereof. They never get far enough along the process to even know that MSF courses exist.
And then there are the plenty of people (squids) who jump onto a bike half-cocked and don’t bother with any of the prep or learning. Despite the fact that they are out there riding, they haven’t given it significantly deeper thought than the first group of people.
When you do go through the process and then talk to people about it, you guide them through that deeper thought. They’d never given any thought to the differences between different bikes beyond “big loud bike and little fast loud bike”, let alone thing like full faced vs shorty helmets, wearing gear, or taking courses.
Just by going out and getting a bike you are providing insipration to others who like teh dream of being on a bike. By going through the steps, and sharing those steps with people, you show them that it isn’t just a dream, but a surprisingly easily achieved goal.
By being a responsible conservative person you break down the “rebel” mental barriers.
Congratulations, you are now a Good Role-Model (TM).
