I gave you 7 reasons NOT to own a motorcycle back in podcast #3, and I promised to give you the other side of the argument. Well, here it is. I\u2019m always reluctant to advise someone to purchase a motorcycle. I know this sounds strange considering that I run this site. But making the choice to own and ride a motorcycle is a personal decision that should not be taken lightly. I believe the risks are real, and that each individual should weigh the risks before deciding to ride. More specifically, in this session you\u2019ll find out about:  Why I think motorcycles create great stories. Why I think riding makes you a better driver. What goes on in my head when I\u2019m riding. How motorcycles make your car look cozy. Why on a motorcycle \u201cYou will see things you\u2019ve never noticed, smell things you\u2019ve never smelled, on the way to places you\u2019ve never been.\u201d  Resources and links mentioned in this session: Learn more about Adrian Blake by\u2026 Following Adrian on Twitter.
