So you started in your late fifties then?
Twenty six years, less a three year break. (and a four week break when I lost my licence

This isn't a question about age just how many years actually riding bikes you have. I know a bunch of you rode in your Yoof then took a break from it. Some have just found the joys of bikes some have never stopped riding.

Me I started riding at 8 on a truetest thingee (like a pitbike but cruder) Then road riding at er actually 14
so Ive been riding offroad,racing, commuting,travelling on a bike for 35 years

Im sure this has been done before but anyhooo.

and still slow as fook!

8 through to 13 on a Piwi 50, farm bikes and a mates KX80, then 15 as soon as I could get me license on through until I was 24, then again at 30 through till now.

so 5 + 9 + 10... 24 years give or take.

Pretty much been my sole mode of transport too for the last two periods of riding. All good fun!

Gawd you is a lot of ancient old coounts.

Y' do all realise that, based on these figures, most of us are dead and have been for decades. Statistically it is impossible for a motorcyclist to survive even for 10 years let alone the times indicated here.
