I had a motorcycle for a few months, never had a lesson, license, or teacher but I put over 1000 miles on it in January/February (winter around here,) half of which was a 500 mile round trip from Virginia to New Jersey.
I then realized I much preferred cars and sold the motorcycle at a $500 profit.
It was a nice little thing though, 1985 Honda Shadow, 500cc with a shaft drive and 6 speed transmission.
