Can anyone help me with these 3 questions regarding the below paragraphs?

1) what is the primary decision that the author needs / needed to make, and what did he ultimately decide?

2) how do three of the body paragraphs show you the writer's decision-making logic? What are the details analyzed, and how do the details lead the writer to decide for or against the particular item?

3) what do the transitions between the body paragraphs do to help you to understand the writer's overall decision-making?

Riding a motorcycle is such a freeing feeling, almost like that feeling of when I was a kid

on a dirt bike going down the steepest hill to gain speed and cut through the wind as fast as you

can. Once I grew up and became licensed, I was ready to buy my own motorcycle. I had ridden a

couple different styles, but had never owned my own. A big factor in my decision-making

process was to find a style that was supportive of my back. I had been in a car accident many

years ago, that left my back in less than par condition than prior to the accident. Finding the right

style for me required some experimenting with two different styles of motorcycle called the

cruiser style and the sport bike style. Ultimately choosing the cruiser style, I still wanted to do

some experimenting to make an informed decision.

Having been in an accident many years ago, I know my back becomes stiff after riding

for long periods of time. This factor made the cruiser style motorcycle more appealing, because

it was the first style I learned to ride on and thus far felt the most comfortable on. The cruiser

style is built exactly for what it is called, "cruising". It has more of an upright posture seating

with midlevel handle bars and foot pegs that allow for your legs to extend out a little simulating a

"semi reclined" position. This reclined position felt the best for the comfort of my back, as on

longer rides it relieves some of the pressure of sitting for longer periods. Having experience with

this style of bike, I immediately noticed the comfort level increased compared to the sport bike

style after a ride of longer than two hours.

The engine size of the cruiser is just as important to me as the style because it is directly

related to the overall weight of the motorcycle. With a back injury the heavier the weight the

more likely the bike is to cause stress on the back. The engine size is measured in cubic

centimeters or CC's. The higher the number of CC's the higher the overall weight of the bike is.

Weight was an important factor in choosing because turning, leaning, and potentially having to

pick up the bike if dropped can take a toll on my back. After having tested a few different bikes

with different engine sizes I decided that the 750cc engine was perfect for my back to handle.

Handling of the bike was equally important to research because it directly correlates to

the engine size or weight of the bike. Different weights or engine sizes can alter the force, speed,

and turning of a motorcycle. I enjoyed the cruiser style bike for this aspect because along with

the physical comfort style of the bike it made the handling experience very comfortable on my

back. The turning radius was not as sharp as the sport bike, but the fact that the foot pegs allow

for more of a reclined position made the various handling such as turning and leaning involved in

riding a motorcycle, made the cruiser style bike my overall preference.

I went with the cruiser style over the sport style because the style did not feel very good

on my back. This was not as supportive for my back as the forward lean did not allow for much

relaxing especially on the longer rides. The physical style of the sport bike was more of a

forward leaning style where the handle bars are somewhat shorter, as well as the foot pegs being

more behind the back. While short term it was not as bad I knew I needed something that would

allow comfort for the longer rides as well.

I also took engine size into consideration with the sport bike style because of the physical

shape of each bike is different. The 750 cc engine on the sport style did not do well with my back

comfort as it made handling more difficult in all areas to handle. It put too much strain on my

lower back when having to lift, or shift my weight while riding to achieve my desired riding

style. Making those turns on the sport bike made it difficult and straining for my back. Even

something simple such as pushing the bike manually into the garage was not as comfortable and

therefore was not an appealing option for myself.

Following the same process, I wanted to experience the handling of the sport bike as

well. I did enjoy the smoothness of the turning and overall handling of the bike through the city

during the short rides. However, the comfort of my back was still in favor of the cruiser style due

to the posture preference. While I enjoyed both for the handling aspect I still had to go with the

cruiser style in regard to back comfort.

After I had experienced both styles and considered how my back felt with each style of

bike, the cruiser style was the best choice for me. Style of the cruiser along with the proper

engine size that didn't cause too much pressure for my back, along with the comfortable

handling of the cruiser made it the clear option for me. As I prefer to ride for longer distances

whether straight or multiple turns, the seating position, weight and handling of the cruiser were

all I needed to experience before making my choice.
