Honestly I love riding but I just had to give it up because I'm too scared of getting maimed or dying. Maybe I'll get a cruiser or something down the line, who knows. I'm also naturally a risk taker and I can't stop myself from dragging knee on public roads.
I'll say this - if you wanna do it, go for it, but just watch safety videos and stuff and obviously take a class. Start slow. I recommend getting a 500cc bike to start - they're a bit heavier and more stable than the standard 250cc bikes people recommend, but not much faster. Also wear all your gear all the time. No joke, you will fall eventually. Luckily when I did it was just at 20 mph.
Edit: check out Dan Dan the fireman on YouTube. He does a bunch of safety videos and analysis on motorcycle crashes where people go wrong
