The Motorcycle Mentor Podcast
Summary: Learn how to ride a motorcycle: How do I reduce my risks? How should I handle disapproving family and friends? What is counter steering? Is a Harley Davidson a good first motorcycle? Why do I have this fear when I ride? Am I too old to start riding? Do loud pipes save lives? Join the Motorcycle Mentor Podcast as we answer these questions and more. At 40, I found two motorcycle mentors that guided me. Now you don't have to learn how to ride a motorcycle alone.
