Anyone interested in motorbikes?

I'm fairly new here and newly diagnosed with ASD. Anyway, motorbikes are one of my interests, and, well, it might be a long shot,  I was wondering if anyone else here is into them too. I don't know anyone else IRL who shares this enthusiasm. It'd be nice to hear from anyone else who is interested.

  • Another American tractor fan here :-) They are great, aren't they? I like them because they are solid and remind me of the bikes I rode in my teens, heavy things made out of proper chunks of metal. And they smell proper, of hot metal and oil.

    I also like 4 wheeled american tractors, the type with V8s in them!

  • hello :-) 'two wheeled tractors' - haha. Ah, yes, I have heard elsewhere that riding is great therapy - an escape - literally. I don't know much about enduro or motocross, tho motocross looks like lots of fun - is that dirt bikes? And I follow MotoGP obsessively.
    also - what does it feel like to be diagnosed fairly late, at 52?
