Since 1982. First bike was a 3hp mini bike that I started cruising around when I was 9. After that about 12 dirt bikes. First street bike was a Kawasaki gpz750. I've been drag racing bikes for quite a few years now. Just sold an 89 gsxr 1100 with ALL the fixins and nitrous. Bike ran 9.00 like a swiss watch. I pretty much just bracket race my max now. I'd like to find another max one day just to do a full blown drag bike with. Gotta go water the money tree outside :biglaugh:

I forget!!

First license in "64 and then two wheels as much as I could. So 47 years or so. The ZX-11 was the fastest I've owned but the Max has more soul.

Not counting the Puch moped I acquired and lost in a shady deal involving a shop lifted video game console for Montgomery Ward, my first bike I bought was 1964 Norton I bought with student loan money in 1994 ( And, yes, I did eventually graduate, LOL )

 

[DMAN999]

I've been riding every since I got a Honda 50 at age 6.
So, that makes almost 40 years now.
I've been riding on the Road since age 14.
My older Brother let me ride his Honda 350 and I just carried his license with me, they didn't have pictures on them back them.
The local Police know I wasn't legal but since I only rode to work and school they looked the other way.
I became Officially legal 2 years later with a Yamaha 400 Maxim.

I forget!!

You know the memory is the 2nd thing to go...

 

[jester 42]

I bought my first bike in 1972; a brand new Honda 450.
Learned how to ride it in the dealership parking lot.

Quickly learned 3 things:
Don't try to keep up with more experienced riders, don't do wheel stands, and if you drop the bike; let go of the damn handle bars!

1958. I was 14.

Bike was a 1948 Harley Hummer 125cc 2-stroke. Formerly a DKW from Germany. Part of the War Reparations Act. BSA got the same bike and called it a Bantam. Both companies needed a starter bike at the time.

Traded even for an almost new Schwinn "English Racer" 3-speed bike that I got the previous Christmas. One of the first bicycles with the skinny tires and down turned handlebars. Really pissed my Mom off. That bike cost $50 in 1957. Over $400 in todays money. We were fairly poor and my parents scraped up the money for that bike...

First Japanese bike was a new 1966 Yamaha 250 cc Big Bear in 1966.

10 years for me. Bought a 2000 Sprint RS brand new in 2002. It was an awesome deal. Walked in to look at a 600TT, left with a 955 Sprint RS. Sold the RS in 2007 to clear up some bill and buy a house. Found my 07 Vmax in early 08.
