Yep, I own a few. Grew up riding and racing, still ride but stopped racing when I turned 50.

Been driving 1 all my life but I had three scares in a single month that made me sell my motorcycle.
I'll never again drive one. I understand the romance of it. Wind in your hair and all that jazz.
But I'm done with it for good. Too many idiots on the road for me to ride anymore.

Same. Sold mine a couple of years ago. Of course, instead of close calls, I actually had an accident, and my left leg (specifically the knee) has been screwed up since: no health insurance at the time. RIP to being able to do squats. Can still do leg press, just with reduced ROM.
Hung on to that stupid thing for nearly ten years before I sold it. I'd ride it once in a while, but never enjoyed it again after the accident.
You're a wise man.M/C was my only or primary transport for 30 years; had to sell my last bike when I moved cross country 8 years ago and can't afford one now.
I've ridden in all seasons, in snow, across the Canadian wilderness. Carrying groceries. Camping gear. Girlfriend. Pane of window glass. (Not all at once obviously)
And yeah I've wiped out, been in a head on with a car, and ridden very irresponsibly. Totaled two of my bikes.
I miss riding.

I don't own one and I've never rode one before since they do seem a bit scary and it's very easy to get injured or killed on one or so I've heard but they are somewhat common where I live as there are a few motorcycle clubs not the bad, scary or hateful ones but the ones who do stuff for the community like food drives and stuff
"Motorcycle ?! More like Donor cycle!"I got my first motorcycle a few months ago and already fell once, had to spend money repairing it

I used to have one - pearl white custom Yamaha 535...
When I got sick, I had to sell it.
I still dream about that bike...

Rode one for a living for many years. Can't afford insurance for one nowadays or I'd still be riding.

Just a word of caution dude. Motorcycles can cause life changing damage to us. And it's not even entirely up to us because there are a lot of people on the road who will just crash into you. Please be careful.
My eyes are too bad to drive, so I can't own one.
I have wanted to motorcycle my entire life though, and if I could see, I would definitely own one if not several.

Been on bikes since I was quite young. Started with a mini-bike and then graduated to various and several dirt bikes over the years. Eventually, bought a street bike, and then another, and another, and another. Still have a few, but haven't ridden in a good long while. Really have no desire anymore for riding, pretty much anything, really. Still have an old Honda 3-wheeler from when I used to restore them as a hobby. All that stuff, and more, has to go and I'm working on it. It's all part of my pre-death, estate cleanup plan.
