Never ridden before - am I crazy?
Hey guys,
As the name suggests, I'll be spending the next year in South America traveling extensively. I now have the opportunity to buy a 250cc motorcycle here (in Peru), and the idea sounds amazing to me. I can't think of a more intimate way to connect with the people and the land. The thing is, I've never even ridden one before - am I way over my head?
In general, I'm a very defensive driver when I drive a car, but I understand that a motorcycle is totally different. I'm definitely willing to take things slowly at first, and I am also definitely aware of the risks involved. What do you guys think?
