Wife started working near a Harley Davidson dealer. Year 2004. I used to find reasons to go into the shop by a shirt here and there.

 

my dads first bike was a honda 90. then he got a honda 150. Nowadays he rides a 1150r bmw. Kinda funny to see us ride together you can imagine.

My momment has got to be when we went out west on a family trip, grandparents and all. I was about 5 years old...my parents had forgotten all about sturgis... and it just so happened that we hit it right smack dab in the middle of bike week. Its all we saw the whole trip! I remember how i loved hearing the roar!

 

When one of my fathers best friends pulled into our yard on his new Knucklehead,From that day forward I became a Harley zealot.

 

i was four year's old when i had my first ride. been hooked from that day on i was 8 when i started rideing my own. a cushman scooter and have rode everything since i have done every kind of raceing you can on a bike.nothing else matter's to me life with out a bike . there is no life 52 wonderful year's and i would'nt trade it for nothing. i had to wait awhile for my first harley but since then i have had five. nothing like a harley the smell the sound the feel what more do you need.

 

I caught it around 1965 but I didn't get one until 2004 long wait but worth it

 

When I was 7 or 8 my uncle up in the White Mtn's had a little Honda 50 that me and my cousins would cruise around his place in Franconia on. I used to dream about driving back up there every summer to ride that thing.

Grew a bit older and never forgot that feeling. Worked my *** off from 14 to 17 to buy my first dirt bike and rode every day I could up along the power lines in CT.

Rode my first street bike at 18 a friend was living with me had an 1986 Honda Interceptor 500, as soon as he moved out, I went out and bought a 1991 Yamaha FZR.

Many years later still riding sport bikes, I met the current wife, who I took on a ride (98 ZX9R) and while she loved the feel of riding, she didn't like the seating options on the sport bike so she took it upon herself to get her license, and bought a Virago 750. I would occasionally drive that bike and finally decided to get a cruiser. As much as I told myself in my younger sport-bike influenced days I would "never own a HD" I'd have been dumb to rule them out. I walked into my first HD stealership and there was a 2005 Screamin Eagle VRod on display about 3 feet off the floor and I was sold.

Great bike, just not the best for a lot of 2 up riding when the wife decided she'd rather let me drive and just take in the scenery. Traded in the VRod for a FLHX and couldn't imagine being a better way to spend the day.

 

don't have even a guess but maybe from my mom and dad
bougt my first one in mid 60's pushed it home, chopped it and rode the heck out of it. been on bikes since the late 50's so have ridden lots of stuff but there are two kinds of people those that love harley and those that don't.. nuff said

 

When I was about 12, my cousin came down to visit. He pulled up on his Fat Boy and offered to take me for a ride, just up and down the street. But my worry wort of a Mom wouldn't let me. Ever since, I was determined to ride one my own. Now I do. Sorry, Mom!
