I first had the idea — more like an obsession — to develop MotorcycleMentor.com shortly after I ‘started back’ riding years ago.

Just like you, I searched for information online to the basic questions:

1. What type motorcycle should I purchase?
2. Should I take the MSF course… and when?
3. Are there ways to reduce my risks… or am I just a statistic?
4. What is the best riding gear for me?
5. What can I do to improve my riding skills?

…and the list went on and on

I found online resources to be hit-or-miss. While there was *some* good content sprinkled around, most sites focused on a particular motorcycle or brand. Instead of helping new riders become more proficient, users ranted about which motorcycle oil was better… or which motorcycle was .01 seconds faster.

At 40 something, I approached my new passion with maturity. I wanted to enjoy all the pleasures of riding, making friends, and exploring the unknown. But, I wanted to do it ‘the right way’… with the right gear, the right skills, and the right mind-set.

I was lucky. I didn’t have to learn everything by myself during my first years of riding. Now, you won’t have to either.
