Motorcycle rider baws of the ot

Recently i traveled to europe and noticed everyone and their brother rides a bike. It has me thinking about getting one. It looks like a lot of fun and with gas being and arm and a leg, the increased mpg over my silverado would be nice. Any tips you could provide a beginner would be appreciated.

It's not a question of if, but when you put your bike down.

This first. Then decide what type of bike you want, and what you want to do.
1. Sport bike (crotch rocket) if you wanna go fast
2. Standard if you like euro style and just want to ride around town
3. Harley. If you don’t mind spending money. And in this category you need to decide what kind of riding you wanna do, around town or some actual traveling. I have a Street Glide, to me it is good for traveling but also just riding for 2-3 hours on Saturday morning

I think a lot of it depends on where you plan to ride.
Operating the bike is done almost on a subconscious level. What you are actively doing is watching everything around you. As long as you are acutely aware of what's going on around you at all times you can be very safe.
Where I live there are plenty of places to ride to without much traffic. But I would never ride around in central Phoenix. Or Baton Rouge.

Better think long and hard whose bottom patch you're going to be rocking on the back of your jacket.

1. Take a motorcycle safety course.
2. Buy a $1500 dirt bike.
3. Ride it for the next 3 years on every dirt road and trail you can find.
4. If you still are having fun, buy a dual sport bike and start exploring some <50 mph highways. Do this for 5 years.
5. Consider buying a larger bike and have fun.

When it comes to city riding or commuting, we’ve always liked its compact package, combined with the parallel-Twin that’s loaded with character – especially with a pipe. It works great for getting to and from the office, and there’s a host of aftermarket accessories available if you want to take it further.

In a commuter role, it lacks only standard onboard storage, but there’s ample room to add a tail pack or other similar luggage. Its grunty Single provides instant power, even on freeways, and it’s challenging to get fuel economy to dip below the 50s. Standard ABS helps keep it shiny side up, rain or shine. Priced at $8999, it might be impossible to find a more amusing bike for you ride to work.

I have never asked a question to a downvoter but in this one case, I am going to make an exception.
What did you downvote? The part about not spending a ton of money before you decide if you enjoy motorcycling? Or the part about gaining skills before riding on the interstate?

How mush you looking to spend on a bike? Seems like you would have to ride for a long time to earn any gas savings

Just make sure you donate your organs.
