30 years ago, we had many brothers in the upper New York City area that had motorcycles, mainly off-road bikes. Not a problem. Probably a dozen in our congregation.
I really wanted a Harley but due to the expense and limited time of the year to ride, I told myself, "Self, when we go to a warmer climate, I will get my Harley."
Well, in retrospect, after having moved to the South Miami area, if you ride a motorcycle on the road you are living with a death-wish. I was really pissed.
I thought I could ride the bike year-round here ... but with the way people drive and disregard anything that relates to traffic, I saw within a few weeks that this is not the place to be on two wheels.
