I've been riding bicycles from the age of 6 and motorcycles from the time I could get a motor driven cycle license at 14. My first motorcycle (sort of) was a Sears Allstate Moped. I rode it until I could get a real motorcycle at age 16. I've had just about of every sort of motorcycle imaginable, including one Harley. Everyone should have at least one Harley experience. It helps if you have two so you have one running allowing time to repair the other. I found a bad day of riding a Harley consisted of not being able to get it cranked and out the garage door. A good day of riding consisted of getting it cranked and riding far enough away from home that when it quit the "old lady" would drive the truck so you could get it home. my fastest motorcycle was a Honda VF750FR I purchased in Japan while in the Navy and brought it back to the US on a Destroyer. That bike would do an honest 195 MPH (personal testing. I rode it from San Diego, CA to my home in Anniston, AL. I went north to Las Vegas and then rode as much of old route 66 as was possible in 1985. It became too fast for my age and I sold it before it killed me. I've never stopped riding bicycles. Several years ago I rode back to San Diego on the same route as the motorcycle trip only on a touring bike. It took me a lot longer but enjoyed the ride much more. I consequently boxed the touring bike in SD and took a Grey Hound bus back home, one way was quite enough!
