Why You Should Buy a Motorcycle

Here at North County Indian Motorcycle®, we’re all about our two- or three-wheeled rides. Our favorite pastime has become our professional passion, which is why we’re always excited to see new faces at our San Marcos, California, dealership, serving San Diego and Oceanside. We also know that making that leap can be a bit daunting. If you’ve never owned or ridden a motorcycle, there’s no dodging the fact that it’s a big commitment, and sometimes this can be a bit intimidating. But it’s not a reason to turn back altogether. 

Buying a motorcycle can change your life, and to give you that little extra nudge in the right direction, we’ve provided some of our top reasons to buy a motorcycle. That way, you can visit your local Indian Motorcycle® dealer confidently and enthusiastically. 

Builds Confidence Around Learning New Skills

Speaking of building confidence, learning how to ride and master a motorcycle takes time, patience, and work. It’ll be seriously challenging, but once you’ve got it under your belt, you’ll love taking your bike out for a weekend ride. Not only that, but you’ll have accomplished something new. No matter what age we are, it’s nice to know we’re still capable of learning new tricks, and might just encourage you to try something else new as well. 

Improve Navigational Skills

Whether you’re riding around your city or your region, a good ride requires some navigational skills. If you’re stuck listening to your phone for directions, it might draw your attention away from being in the moment and enjoying the ride. You’ll probably find that, after a while, your navigational skills will improve naturally. Maybe cardinal directions become easier to identify, maps are easier to read, and the layout of your local cities might become second-nature.

Improve Health

This isn’t just about getting some fresh air. Riding a motorcycle is a full-body workout, as you’ll soon discover. You’ll definitely get your strength training in for the day, but you’ll also improve your mental health. When you’re doing something you enjoy, your brain releases dopamine, the so-called “pleasure hormone,” which boosts your mood and keeps you healthy. Plus, if it’s sunny out, you’ll get your daily dose of vitamin D.

Gain Community

You’ll also quickly learn that owning a motorcycle gives you an instant connection to a bigger community. Some people might approach you on the street, wanting to know more about your bike, and you might find you want to do the same to others with great-looking rides. There are even lots of motorcycle groups and clubs around the nation that you can join to find some riding buddies and lifelong friends. 

Keeps You in the Moment

At the end of the day, buying a motorcycle can simply be fulfilling as a way to stay in the moment. With the fast-paced lifestyle of the modern era, it can be difficult to train your brain to slow down and relax. Motorcycle riding can give you something to focus on, while also giving you a way to unwind and enjoy life’s little pleasures. Whether you love the vistas of the open road or prefer to use your ride to visit local shops, your motorcycle will be the perfect vehicle to a better lifestyle.
