Niels MeersschaertHostYou thought you'd seen all the beauty in the world, but you'd never been on a motorcycle.
So the truth is that motorcycling can change your life and it can do so in a number of different ways.
And this is actually what most people actually do recognize as the continue to advance in their motorcycling journey.
And a few of those ways we'll kind of go over in this episode, but one of them is moving out of your comfort zone.

Motorcycling pushes you out of your comfort zone, anyone that you may have, not just physically, but also even mentally.
And this is one of the things that really does push you out and force you to change.
If you've been a person who has never really gotten outside of your comfort zone before, but now you take up motorcycling, you may find yourself suddenly pushing yourself way, way out from what you were used to doing before.
And related into that, you're going to achieve something that has not commonly been done before.
Next time you go out for a drive, see how many motorcycles that you notice.
We are a tiny portion of those on mechanical transit in many parts of the world.
Maybe only Asia will flip the script a little bit with more riders than drivers simply due to the economical nature of riding.
But the reality is, is that by you becoming a motorcyclist, you are doing something that is unusual.
It's not something that everybody has ever tried out or even has the skills to continue to do.
You are a part of a unique brotherhood of riders who have achieved the ability to control a motorcycle in ways that others have not.
