How old are you?? What was your first bike?

[WarBaby]

You're a bunch of pups (except flrider)!  

Started at 13 on a Sears 50cc moped.
Evolved through these bikes: Some of my bikes
Been riding 47 years.
That would make my age...

44; first bike was a home-made minibike at age 8. Many other MCs since then.  Been riding off and on since age 8.  Drag raced bikes (amature status) for a short stint while living in the St. Louis area (1980 - 81). That was too risky.

Happy now being an older fart with the neatest bike on the planet.  

I guess you could call me a Poser.

32 years old, First street bike in 1992 while in College, Katana 750, must have been a 1991 or 92.

Grew up on Dirt bikes since I was just a pup.

 

[†WÃ￾§†ëD]

my first bike was a birthday gift given to me by my father, a schwinn "sting ray", 3sp automatic with console shifter, matallic green, chrome rims with whitewall tires, chrome ape hanger bars(sting ray bars), front/real caliper brakes, and a pearl white bannana seat with a 20" chrome sissy bar... a bike pee wee himself would be envious of!

I wish I had that beauty today, prolly worth a mint! that was the first bike I ever rode a wheelie on, think I was in the 4th grade? so that was um, uh, a long time ago, dont have a calculater, over 30 yrs I beleive...

39... for another month~ First bike was a Suzuki TM75 dirt bike~ I was 12 at the time and tore the hell outta the lettuce fields in Cali~ Then I rode a 400 Bultaco for a bit in my early teens~ First street bike was an old Kawi, couldn't even tell ya what year it was~ It was the KZ model though~ Grew up around the Hogs.. my Pop was a 1%er since I could remember~ He disowned me when I got my first "crotch rocket"! Now I've got my Kat and workin towards a Busa~ Gonna keep the Kat for my wife, though~
