“I feel like riding my motorcycle is getting out and enjoying the scenery with your friends or going dirt biking and riding in the forest,” said Nicholas Larkin. Although riding a motorcycle, or even a dirt bike, is often considered a sport, Larkin does not compete.

Larkin has been riding dirt bikes and motorcycles as long as he can remember, and has ridden a street bike for the past three years. He said that he mostly likes to go riding in the mountains or on windy roads.

Even though he does it for fun, Larkin recognizes the dangers involved. “Motorcycles can be very dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing,” he said. “Also, it’s the other people out there that make motorcycles dangerous.”

Larking tries to find time to ride whenever he can and he takes precautions to minimize the dangers.
