Traveling by motorcycle is one of the most dangerous activities. Dangerous because your body lacks protection and is more exposed to damage. There is a reason because neither the jumpsuit nor the helmet protects you from suffering some internal damage. However, it is an experience that few of us live in such a way that we can enjoy it.
It’s not just for men
In the past, it was thought that motorcycling was merely an activity for men, but it is not. Women can equally enjoy this passion in the company of a man or alone. The first time I got on a scooter I was accompanied. Also, it was very exciting to know that the wind could hit my face head-on. However, I preferred to wear a helmet for safety, but I still felt the air hitting my body and my hands.
Enjoy the moment
I must confess that I was a bit scared the first few times I got on the scooter. Fear not of my pilot, but of the cars or trucks that crossed our path. Over the months, I got used to it, and it was really fun to walk like this. After almost a year, he traded in the toy for a bigger motorcycle. The excitement was greater because the speed would increase. I completely trusted my rider, so I wasn’t scared every time I got on the bike. The best thing was every time we went out on the road, there was adrenaline and pure happiness.
Unforgettable experiences
One of the best things about traveling by motorcycle is that you spend less money. You can get to your destination faster and enjoy wonderful landscapes in a completely different way than driving. The only thing you must be very clear about is whether you really want to get on or enjoy or just do it out of commitment. By doing it for fun, you enjoy the company and the trip. You also meet a lot of people who also love this passion. It doesn’t even cross your mind that many of these people are lawyers, doctors, or teachers. Unfortunately, some get a bad name for everyone. But just as there are bad drivers, many others are incredible people on or off the bike.
It doesn’t matter that you are afraid, do it!
On many occasions, I must be honest, fear wanted to take over me. Something in my mind told me not to. I must clarify that I have a little daughter of no more than 5 years. The family would often get mad at me because they knew that riding a motorcycle is really risky. They did not agree with what I was doing because, in their words, “they literally put me in the hands of death.” A little absurd, although true, but I had to be a little selfish. Someone once told me that I did not have to deprive myself of living to have children. Children take their path, and you cannot stop doing things for them. That was why, even knowing that it might be the last time I saw my daughter, I did. I know maybe it was stupid, but it was worth every moment that I climbed on that metal horse. The last time I got on a motorcycle, it was already a racing one.
I haven’t been on a motorcycle for three months, but I hope to do it again very soon. Maybe it’s risky, and you wouldn’t do it with just anyone. But if there is something I am sure of, it is that, even if it is not with the same pilot, I will do it to give my life a little excitement. You do not feel that feeling of adrenaline and companionship with any activity. From my point of view, you should get on a motorcycle sometime in your life, always with adequate protection. Everything is more enjoyable when done wisely and carefully.
