The age you started biking and why...

[FROSTY:Me]

from before I was born basicly- mum and dad diddn't own a car so mum was on the bike . then dad put a sidecar on his bike to carry us.
Dads a bit of a tinkerer so there were always lawnmower powered two wheelers around.
Then when I was 7 or 8 a drunk left his C50 honda burried in the hedge out front of our place. I waited a couple of weeks -- it was MINE.
I ripped all the scooter stuff around it and ripped around our place and the local wasteland on the darn thing
No seat no fairings no fenders -eventually no brakes and totally bald tyres. Darn that little bike was fun

My mate was a lacky at welly motorcycles and brought home a CBR 250. We painted it up after hours of sanding then he said you are learning to ride it. After getting the hang of it ive always got to have one. Im addicted. Got learners at 18. Nothing like hooning down the back roads leaving all that stress from work (and the missus hehe shhhh) and enjoy the open air.

16. My dad caught me passing tourist coaches on the descent from work on my push bike, wearing shorts and t-shirt no helmet, doing over 50mph...

He figured that a moped meant I had to wear a helmet and couldn't do more than 30mph. He was right - Damn, his Puch Maxi would whip my Yamaha DT50.

I was into bmx freestyle\jumps etc in 1990,friend says we should get some motorbikes & go to woodhill,cause we can't bmx all our lives,so i did & they didnt

I started legally road riding at 15.. had gotten my bike about year before hand and was well keen to get my license as soon as possible. I've always loved motorcycles since I was real young, no clue why.. and to top it off i've always loved cruisers too!

My first bike was a suzuki FX125C which i've still got in the garage which doesn't get much use, but it was a great learning bike. It took a fair few hard knocks but that's what it's there for innit?

age 2 and a half, Dad owned a bike shop, 4 wheelers were not evented so he built training wheels for a JR50, then put a picture in the paper with me riding it so he could sell some more,

near 30 years later, and we still go riding together,

didn;t get my road liceince until i was 20, and my full when i was 27

It was all Dafe's fault - he moved in when his Mum kicked him out of home because he bought a KR1.

I was jealous. BASTARRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDD!!!

He's cost me thousands of $$$$ since

My parents bought me a Honda 50 in 1967. Since then i've never lost the bug.
Lost my balance a few times , but definitely not the bug :-)

I started liking bikes when dad was talking about his glory days riding around on his cb900 bol de or (mums another story she hates it). got onto this site and got a bucket racer kind regards to the cudbys, raced that WOOO!!!!!, Now i'm hooked and want a road bike and a dirt bike. can't wait for the countless years of comradeship and spending all my money on my bikes, and helping out all my mates on theres.

A little voice in the in the back of my head told me to, when I turned 15 but my dad said get your car licence. The voice went away, but came back because my parents are too nervy to take me driving. After I turned 16, it was my goal to get a job and money, and buy my own bike before I turn 17. I'm getting my bike (fxr150) in 2 weeks!

[Insanity_rules]

My first word was motorcycle! First dirtbike at 8, first roadbike at 15. Always loved anything with a motor and two wheels.

16. Got a Kr150. Not sure what made me get one in the first place but I always liked bikes.

When I was 18 years old my parents moved way out into the middle of nowhere (50KM from Rotorua and 35KM from Tauranga). At the time I only had my learners car license, and needed the instant independence that my motorcycle license would give me. So, a few weeks later, I sat my class 6 learners test. The rest is history... I still have my car learners though

[DUCATI*HARD]
