Conclusion:

               Motorcycles are a wonderfully varied method of transportation. There have been many advancements, new uses, and even rivalries created from the invention of the motorcycle over the years. One would think a frame with two wheels and an engine wouldn't vary that much, but their are many different forms of motorcycle and many different purposes they serve. It has evolved a lot since it's creation and now holds a firm place in society today. A big part of that is due to riding a motorcycle being a passion rather than just a method to get from point "A" to point "B". Safety is something that can be accounted for and always should be. It is firmly engrained in the mind of a rider from day one. You have to be more aware of your surroundings when on a motorcycle, because one small mistake or detail you miss could be fatal. At the same time, riding a motorcycle is a source of joy for many riders around the world. All in all, riding a motorcycle is an experience that everyone should try at some point in their life; it is life-changing.
