This Car Journalist Describes The Thrill And Challenge Of Riding Better Than Most Motorcyclists

We're huge fans of the car website The Drive because they're one of the few outlets looking at content and journalism a little differently. Despite his protests and pleas, they sent Max Prince, a man who's spent his life with the idea that motorcycles were for other people, to try it out.

But, instead of getting his first two-wheeled experience at a new motorcycle rider training program or even a track riding school, his editors put him on the back of a 205 horsepower, two-up superbike replica racer during the final round of the MotoAmerica race series at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

Max is one of my favorite writers, and his account of the experience and his feelings about it encapsulates why we ride better than I've maybe ever seen it described. If you read anything today, read this (and then everything else we posted).

He's right, wheelie hill at NJMP is no joke.
