I’m not a fan of motorcycles, at least not again since thirty years ago. Unlike the time of adolescence, either while sitting in high school or in college. Although still using the existing matic motorcycle, but it is seldom and limited just for certain needs.
Unlike my brother-in-law who even had time to collect some Harley Davidson, although currently only two left. His age is already over sixty-five years, but still doing touring regularly and even for long distance with his club.
For years I had never been interested in trying to ride that big motorcycle, but yesterday, when some families and relatives tried to drive it, I finally tried to do it too. Not because I want it, but because they mock me that I can not afford to do it. They said let alone a big motorcycle, even just riding a bike I can not do it, especially with my thin body which like a sheet of a board.
Though I feel awkward driving it at first at least I can reply their jokes. The weight of the motor is about 300 kg it only feels when it stops and there is no problem when it is already running.
I’m not that good at driving it but at least I can do it nicely. Well, driving a two-wheeled vehicle, whatever it is, once we can do it, the ability will not disappear, even after a long while. In your opinion, in addition to riding a bike, what are another skill that will never go away once you’ve done it or even more, master it?

Oh Wow! That is one beautiful bike!
Thanks, Della… That’s cool indeed but not mine… hehehe…
I’m a big fan of looking as well. I won’t ride one again though, fish do not do wheels well and I still have scars from that one, or both.
As to your query, any mental discipline developed, is ours forever. Once learned, even left idle, is not forgotten. There is no “use it or lose it”, only degrees of acumen.
I’m sure this fish once rolled on wheels, though not anymore. Again, no one answers the question other than fish, and with a wise answer, my brother.
Ooh… to see it would not conjure the word “wise”. Slipping, sliding and sledding, I do well, my sage pavement rider. Driving? Well, we’ll just say, it’s a good thing I see no others….CrAsH!
Did the crash make you stop? or for some other reason you are away from the wheel?
Nice shot of the bike. Riding one is not for everyone but that does not keep anyone from appreciating such a motorcycle!
Yeah, you are right. Such a motorcycle is not for everyone. Thanks for your appreciation

You are right, I do have to be careful. Thank you, Ellie
Very cool motorcycle and story. I can tell where the saying comes from, “it’s like riding a bike, once you do it, you never forget”.
Yeah! That’s it! That’s how we are on a bike. Thanks Carol
