I used to ride and race motorcycles. In 2003 I broke my femur due to a highsider which took a year to recover from. The surgeon told me there was a chance I would not be able to walk normally again, so I started training for my first marathon to find out. This kickstarted my endurance sports career in 2005 which led to triathlons.
After my crash I have ridden road bikes, mainly to commute. Since it's pretty crowded on the roads in The Netherlands you will have some hair raising situations every now and after I got pushed of the road by an ignorant car driver (in 2010 I think) I decided to sell my motorcycle and leave it at that.
I do still miss it though, albeit more the racing than the riding.
Please ignore the fact I'm riding a Yamaha wearing a Honda suit in the picture below. This is on my favourite track Assen.
