I’ve loved motorcycles since I was a kid, but never bought one until I was in my 30s.  I feel like I’m playing catch up, skill-wise, with the guys who rode as kids.  I think there is something that is learned that has passed me by.  But the beautiful thing is that I’ve made a peace with that.  Oh, sure, I had moments when I fantasized that I would have such incredible natural skill that I would be able to make a living from racing MotoGP bikes.  But I came to my senses pretty early on.  And I think that I am able to enjoy it more than I otherwise would.
