1st Street Bike ~ Teenage Riders *

[RedBull]

I made my youngest son Orion start
with a Hyosung GTR FI when he was 15 .

When he had rode it a year he was
allowed to ride a Kawasaki Ninja 650R .

Then after another year
He stepped up to the
Ninja ZX-14 he
currently rides .

My oldest son Thor does not ride
because his GF is scared of
him riding a motorcycle .

Tried to bring them both up to do what they want
and not letting others dictate what they do in life ,
but on that issue I tell him to stop being pussy
whipped and start riding he will love it .

Enduro, so half a street bike. Got a Kawasaki G5 100 for my 13th birthday. First thing I did was buy a service manual studied and carried it everywhere. Learned to wrench on that bike and still have some of the tools I used. Only allowed to ride it on my dad's property. Got my permit and rode it to and from school until my Junior year and upgraded to a Yamaha DT 175. My first real street bike is my 09 Busa.

took a spill on a halfpipe recently - didn't break a hip but got a bruise 12 inches end to end, from my hip to halfway down my unshaven leg. thot I'd share since you vultures like pics so much! This is about the 3rd day of it. I'm taking pics as it changes colors! X-rays showed nothing...

I started riding in 2006 when I came back from my first deployment to Iraq. It was a 2004 suzuki katana 750.
Great bike and its funny a lot of the parts of the busa reminds me of the katana in terms of rear sets and handle bars.

Mine was a yamaha 400 twin, back in the 70's, I managed to ride it into the side of a car at about 50km/h, thankfully the rear quarter so no damage but a broken collar bone and gravel rash. The bike though was totaled, I'd only been riding for 4 months too. When my son began riding here in Oz there were new laws and new riders under the age of 45 had to go a probation period of one year on a 250. Pretty wise law I think.

OK guys, Some will say age does not matter, it is how big (No wait that is another subject) How many years of riding do you have on motorcycles of any kind. I have to admit I started riding my brothers chopped Harley when I was 12. I rode mini bikes with 14 hp engines (60 mph surprised I did not...
