    Is Riding Bikes In Your DNA?

    Do other people in your family ride bikes?

    Only one other person in my family has ridin a bike, and he was my Great great grandfather. He had a indian chief.

    I have loved bikes since I was 2, so dad tells everyone

    Hmm in my immediate family i am the only one. One of my uncles used to own a trail bike (used onroad) and my other uncle had a few BMW's years and years ago but other than that i'm it :spudwave:
    Lump lingered last in line for brains,
    And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

    I reckon it must be. According to my mum and dad, I was able to read Car and Motorcycle brands as soon as I could talk.

    There were no bikes in my grandfathers day but he was a mean horseman.
    After him my father an all my uncles rode bikes.
    My three remaining brothers ride,my youngest brother Vaughn lost his life on a bike in 1988.
    I got my second name from my fathers best friend who also lost his life on a bike in 1955.
    So yeah it's in the blood.
    Keeping the faith.

    My Great Grandfather was a motorcycle whatsamajig in WWII, and my Grampy rides bikes, my Aunty rode bikes, and now I ride bikes, so I would say it is with me... Just like the Force.

    My father rode raced and crashed bikes up until the family came along,both of my brothers have owned and ridden quite a few bikes but they have none now,Ive ridden bikes on and off for 26 years.

    My father now in his 60s is just about to get back into it on a 1959 BSA 650,the bike he always wanted as a boy.

    My grandfather was a motorcyclist, my dad had bikes and taught me to ride, and I've been riding bikes since age 10 (nearly 28 years now!).

    What do you reckon my boy Tim's going to do?

    His dad rides, his uncle rides, both his grandfathers ride (maternal grandfather was a motorcycle traffic cop), his mother rides (but not while pregnant), his maternal grandmother pillions, and there's a motorcycle at home.

    Tomorrow he's learning how to take the carbies off an FZR750R, and adjust the steering head, and replace a brake rotor...

    No hope for the boy really is there?

    Don't know about DNA, but environment definitely has something to do with it.
    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.

    PS

    I wish my dad loved bikes as much as I do, I hassled my dad for 15 years to buy me a bike.. He caved in... weak, I tells yah. Weak!

    DNA has nothing to do with it - unless I am adopted
