the first time you swung your leg over a streetbike? and i want a story or somethin(even if it isn't true) not, just some"i started ridin at 15"


i'll start...
i used to ride on the back of my dads bike when i was like five, but i guess the first time i rode one was 12 yrs. old. i used to wait till my dad went to work and ride it in the yard. got goin...oh about 60(showin off for my girlfriend and her friend), did i mention we only had an acre of lawn then woods. to make a long story short..locked the rear up on wet grass..wasn't stoppin...grabbed a handfull of front brake and... yes...over the bars i went. never looked back..been riding ever since

 

my dad had a car dealership and I threw a leg over a 954 he had in the lot when I was about 14 I think. I then got my first street bike at 16.

 

18 kz400 fooooools

 

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.

 

You had 18 kz400's....damn....ballllller.

 

grew up racing moto-x then my cousin was a thief and always had street bikes,he gave me a cbr f2 w/o serial #'s back in 95,so I was 14 or 15 on my 1st bike...

 

21 GOT MY 2006 NINJA 636. I DIDN'T THINK I COULD LOVE BIKES ANY MORE.. but after i started to ride i loved bikes just that much more. so i bought another one when i was 22 my 2004 ninja 636 :YEAH . just like apfire said i was afraid i was going to have problems turning to the right, but now i drag knee to the right

 

First day I got my icon knee pads. I went out and drug both knees just to say I've done it. That was on my 929. :YEAH

 

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

 

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

 

I wish I could have had somthing like that when I was little. ^ haha

 

To turn it off I had to pull the plug wire. I got zapped every time.

 

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.

 

i had something like that too... ahh the good ol' days of no kill switch

 

i started dirtbiking at 12 and I had and still have a 99 honda xr 200 and I rode my buddys 02 (i think) gsxr 600. Oh ya and I kinda set it down once lol.

 

7-10: '77 trail 70. 10-12: '03 xr 100. 12-14: '05 klr250. 13-14: '93 f2. 14-now: '05 drz 400. 14-now: '01 f4i.

holly hell, i've never realized how many bikes i've had in a short amount of years!

 

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!

 

+3, it was a tl125. with one more twist..throttle would stick wide open

 

My first bike was a Honda Ex 5 when i was 12, and proceed to Cagiva Mito 125cc 2 stroke . Yamaha TTR and after that im broke... so im just riding my fiddy.

 

I had a little briggs and straton 5hp minibike when i was like 7 or 8.. it was ****** neon green and rocked ***! :YEAH

from then i didn't have ****, ever, until like 04 when i got my first zx6r. I went like 50 miles from home to pick it up, had a buddy ride it on the highway, and switched him halfway home... and never looked back.
