I don't think I ever had more fun than with my first bike - a Honda CB 50.

Boy, was I in the big leagues when I got a Honda 450 and later a Yamaha 650 Special - all used bikes.

You can "think" you're in tall cotton when you don't know better. That friend should never have let me ride his Harley.

Yeah, my first ride on a Harley was packing bitch with my stepdad, when I was about 16. We went to the local watering hole, drank beers and shot pool. I think that's when I got hooked. 78 or 79, I can't remember.

But my first ride was behind my mom and I was about 7 or 8. Nice little Yamaha 100.

My first motorized ride was a DEMM Smiley Moped. It got stolen from our condo unit. I didn't get another bike until 99, but I kind of rented one from a guy in California in 86. AN ugly green Yamaha 850 triple. Nice riding in Cali. Loved everything about it, except the people. I don't think they could understand my accent or something. Being from Florida and all.

Never really rode when I was younger never had a dirt bike, but rode some Quads and stuff, First bike was my 82 FXR when I was 19, took the Motorcycle Safety Class, along with Practicing on my Harley..am 23 now and Have been riding for 4 yrs now, wow it seems like it goes pretty fast...Just got my 07 Street Bob in September and cant wait till the spring hits or as soon as it gets warmer to keep on riding..I know 4 yrs isnt as long as some but either way I dont think ill ever stop riding

started to ride in '77 on a brand new 77FXE. I have had a total of 4 HD"s in 31 years of riding. Never have quite understood the longing to trade in every 2 or three years...but that's just me...each to their own. Had some great times riding and some bad but damn glad i have been riding
