4 Years on the road and started racing this year...oh and I rode a scooter for about 6 months when I was like 15...until I threw it down the road, literally
Sheesh, that's a tuff one. Been on & off for 30 years, more off than on. On as a kid with dirt/farm bikes etc then off for years. Back on commuting in Auckland for a few years then off till nearly 3 years ago, this time round road riding proper bikes, roughly 40,000km's in the last 3 years
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
5-6 years on the road
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
32 years on bikes for me.

Nearly 40 years for me.I had my first bike for 6 months - and ever since I've never had just one bike.Sometimes I had bikes only and they were used everyday,sometimes I only had off road bikes,sometimes my bikes were not going - but there has always been bikes to ride or work on non stop for 40 years.
I got my first bike so I could get to work at 16 - I would have preferred a MkI Zephyr,but Mum said I had to have a motorcycle.Thanks Mum......
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society
Rode my first motorcycle at 12, back in 1979.
Owned motorcycles from 1982 until 1992, then met my ex.
Gave up bikes for love *sigh* in 1992.
Split up in 2001. Got back into bikes in 2003.
So that's 15 years of nearly daily riding, and 30 years since I rode my first one.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
