[Mike] just loves [his] motorcycle and he would take it out too early [in Green Bay]. In Green Bay, you've got ice until June, and he'd take it out sooner than that. He can finish the rest of the story. Ask him about taking the bike out a little too early.
I was lucky. My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.
My buddy David Wells is a big motorcycle guy, so when I go visit him in San Diego, he takes me out on his bike. He's got some antique Indians. I never really rode during my career, because I was afraid I'd fall off and ruin my career.
My dad had a Vincent Black Shadow, which was a quite particular thing: it was the fastest cycle of its era... It sparked a world for me; when I was old enough, I got a motorcycle.
Eventually, I grew out of my interest in motorcycles because they're quite dangerous. I don't ride them anymore. But I have this history.
The first time I went to Sturgis, I remember thinking, 'This motorcycle thing, this is me.'
I was one of those late bloomers when it comes to motorcycles. I didn't get my motorcycle license until I was 25.
A lot of fans know that I love motorcycles. That's a big love of mine. I could spend days on the bike if I had the time.
