Britishintown is on a distinguished road
Default Renting a motorcycle

Is there anywhere that rents motorcycles in Atlanta, I would like to use one for a day around town before deciding if one is a good idea for when I move there.

NOT a good idea.
Several things I noticed when I rode one:

1. Weather is not conducive - either much too hot, so you arrive sweaty and smelly, or pouring rain, or snow. This isn't sunny southern California.

2. People do not see motorcycles, they're too busy yakking on their cell phones, etc. You'll get squashed by an SUV or have one pull out into your path. The relative rarity of motorcycles just makes this more likely to happen.

3. Vandalism.

OTOH, it's nice to have one to ride in the N. Ga. mountains on pleasant days.
