Re: how old were you?
First time I rode a streetbike I was about 20. It was my buddies 03 cbr600. I was so worried I wouldn't be able to turn, but of course it was pretty easy. Then I obsessed about getting a bike for a year or so until I finally could afford a 929. When I bought the 929 there was a storm and I was about an hour and a half away from home, I rode it in the rain the entire trip. At the time I'd only been on a bike twice.

Re: how old were you?
Friend picked up a 636 and every single day and second tried to convince me to pick up a bike also. I've been considering it for a while but didn't have anyone to ride with...once he got his bike and was constantly bothering me I decided to get one. Was 21 at the time and bought a 01 GSXR600 before even riding a motorcycle in my life. haha

Re: how old were you?
My first bike was a no name minibike with a lawn mower engine. I cant remember how old I was, like 6 or 7 I guess.
After that it was a camo Honda XR 75 with CR125 shocks. I had a few dirt bike here and there but my first street bike was a 78 Honda CB750Four. I got it for my 16th B day. I had my bike licence before my car licence:YEAH

Re: how old were you?
grew up ridin motocross & quads/sled's
Used to ride a old LTD 440 around the farms and backroads when i was real young
as far as the wheelie addiction goes it actually started on snowmobiles. Tryin to keep the ski's up across fields... transfered into dirtbikes/quads, then streetbikes.

Re: how old were you?
Rode moto x bikes since I was 6, had a 1976 Honda XR75. Moved up to a KX80 then to a CR125, then a CR250R. Street bike had to be when I was like 13 on a buddy's mom's room mate's bike. It was an old *** Honda CB750 or some ****. We took it out in a field and was killin it till we wrecked and broke a blinker off. Same buddy who's uncle had a YZ490, we had to prop it up against the wall to kick start the ****** thing! It was like trying to politely molest a Tasmanian devil! After that I got a street bike at like 17 been riding ever since! Discovered stunt riding in 99' and have been having fun with the people I meet along the way!
