OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!

When most people first meet me they think that I am this girly girl, who likes pink, shopping, shoes, and girly things. Well, they are partly right. I am that, however, I also have a little bit of a tom boy in me. I love football, baseball, cars, tattoos, four wheelers and just hanging out with guys in general. Growing up with men all my life it’s what I’m use to.
The one thing that I love to look at is motorcycles. But when it comes to getting on one and riding it—I am a complete wuss. I like four wheels better than two, and I want a little bit more protection between me and the asphalt because I know that if I hit the road (literally) it will kill me. My boyfriend recently got his motorcycle license and he loves it. So he said that he would take me around his neighborhood on the back of his motorcycle. I was hesitant at first, but I agreed to as long as he keeps it under 45mph. At first I was terrified, but as I got use to being on the motorcycle—I started to love it. Jonathan then asked me if I wanted him to teach me how to ride one by myself, with all the adrenaline pumping through my veins after riding I was absolutely ready.
The motorcycle was really heavy. I am only a 104lb. girl so of course I dropped the motorcycle a couple of times. After I dropped the bike the first time I didn’t want to get back on because it scared me. But Jonathan told me to quit acting like a girl and bulk up. That was it I got back on that bike and even though I didn’t go any faster than 25mph it felt like I was riding at the speed of light. It was such an exhilarating and spine-tingling experience it makes you feel free. My brothers and my cousins laughed when I told them that I rode a motorcycle, because they knew that I have always been scared. But they’ll see when I ride up to their houses on one.
I am still a little afraid of riding a motorcycle but I suppose the more I get use to riding one the less scared I’ll get! Now, I am not going out right away to buy a motorcycle but, I do want to get my motorcycle license just so if one day I do decide to get one I can. Just so Jonathan and I can both ride up to our mountain house. Him on his motorcycle and me on a pink Ninja 650R.

haha, Misty, it sounds like you had a good time riding this motorcycle! I love riding motorcycles! Do you plan on getting your motorcycle license? I want to at times, but am not entirely sure if I would really ever use it. What type of motorcycle did you ride? Just be careful! People tend to forget to look out for people on motorcycles when driving down the road in their cars or trucks!
