I'm not sure the bits where you were off can be considered as riding Ron! More like, umm, tree ploughing.

Started riding at the age of 6 or 7 so that makes 32 years, mostly dirt bikes a few roadies, had gone 5 years without a bike until last year which was the sadest period in my life .

Lost count of the number of bikes I had owned, let alone riden

15 years for me..........and over 250 000 road k's

been falling off dirtbikes for the last 12 or so too but only got my own about 4-5 years ago.

Um..., about 10-11 Months I guess. Nearly a year now!!! Had my license for a bit over 6 months, and I guess I have done around 3,000 - 4,000 kms.

what about Phantim.....???

2 years, 5 months, and about 8,500kms.

oh dear, suddenly I feel like Methuselah........

I have been riding motorcycles for 35 years on an almost continuous basis. Started at age 8 (1970), on a Honday monkeybike at a local show. Moved onto more Honda's by 10, ATC90 and ATC110 trikes (at Port Stephens), by 12 it was a TS185 trailbike at Maitland abbatouir (spellcheck??). Got a Yammie dirt bike ( MX80 ) at about 14 I think - it was a heap of crap.

First road bike at age 16, another damn Honda.....

First REAL roadbike at 18 - RD350B Yamaha. This bike taught me how to ride, and how to fix things

First Kawasaki at 19 - H2750, and never looked back from that point

cheers

Started on dirt bikes at 12 (1985), Got road licence in '96 and a 750 the week after that. Have hardly ever been without a bike, and commuted to work on one since '96. Have done over 30,000k in the last 15 months and continue to rack up 500k+ per week.

It's only been about 10 months for me.

I bought a H**** VTR250 which sat in my garage for a month before I got my L's. Seeing it sit there each day and not being able to ride it was torture.

When I got my licence (even before then actually), I saw the light and bought myself a new baby. It's still torture though, seeing my bike every day when I'm in the garage and not being able to go for a run. Believe it or not, I suffer from bike withdrawals!

I just wish I had got my licence and a bike years ago when I first wanted to.

Cheers,
