My name is Harry Humphries and I am a 65 year old grandfather. And yes, I ride a motorcycle. I bought the first edition of this book 3 years ago. I purchased "Learn to Ride a Motorcycle" at a time when I was just retired from my position as a school administrator and I honestly didn't know what I was going to do with my time. I had secretly wanted to try riding a motorcycle all my life, but had never actually taken the plunge. And before I knew it, I was a grandfather, and I thought now too old. But this book convinced me that it wasn't too late to try!
When I went to the training session, I thought I would be the oldest new student by far...surprise! I was actually only the second oldest, and there were numerous other students in their 40s and 50s, as well as many women. I purchased my first bike, the Vulcan 500, 3 years ago, which I have since sold (but am still very fond of in my heart). Now, I am a big fan of "touring" bikes because they are so comfortable for an "old fogey" such as myself.
At the beginning, my wife was against the idea of me riding motorcycles, but when she realized that I was firmly convinced in what I wanted, she was won over, and now rides along with me as my loyal passenger. And the grandkids think it is so "cool" that "grandpa rides a Harley." (It's actually a Honda Goldwing, but the bike itself doesn't really matter, just the ride!). Now, I can't even imagine retirement without riding!

I've received my e-book, have printed it out and it's exactly what I needed and wanted. The contents fit the bill for me as I am a woman, 62, slightly built, very fit and nervous about the whole thing. I've always wanted to do this and it's now or never. I am about to sign up for the driver's training.
I have researched several sites and found this book to cover everything that a beginner would need to know, unlike most of them. I would also like to add that I liked the constant emphasis on the danger and the safety aspects. At times I wondered if it were a good thing for me to do but the writer also encourages you to "follow your dream." And that's very good indeed.
