Biking as a decision in life

[98tls]

So why do chicks ride Harleys...

Mr davidson has a lot to answer for.

[98tls]

Yeah - that and the fact you can't insert a bicycle... and I'm not going near the subject of rubber burn...

Jebbus i thought id gone to far

[Unit:Me]

I did it because I didnt want the nutbar (back in the day) in charge killing me first, and figured being a pillion with a nutbar rider was not a good idea. Then the riding thing sort of stuck with me for the next 22 years.

I'm just sitting back watching..

Been hanging out for a motorcycle since I first became aware they existed.

Age 13, I'd bugger off on a Saturday and walk an hour or two into town and wheedle bike catalogues from the shops, hide them from me mum (very anti-motorcycles, she is) at the bottom of my T-shirt drawer, then sit up late at night reading them.

Made the fuckwitted mistake of hitching myself to the first hot bird who'd 'ave me and forgetting to check first whether she liked bikes. More years of pain and suffering while I sorted that shit out.

Never mind, it's all OK now. Missed out on several years of riding, but at least I've cleared away the obstacles to it.

Of course, now I just have to work out the 'not losing my licence' part.

This motorcycling business can be a bit complicated.

Nice,had a chuckle at that.Came home from school at the age of 9 to find a SL125 in the driveway,thought to myself that we had visitors but all was quiet inside and the rest is just a blur.....yep it was all mine,living way out in the back of beyond was a bonus and off i went hell bent it seems looking back on destroying it as quickly as i couldvery lucky i was.

[jrandom]

very lucky i was.

Too right! You cunts who were actually encouraged to ride as young 'uns often end up failing to appreciate what a wonderful gift that was.

My boy's going to have his own MX bike in a few years time (he's 5 now) and his mother won't be able to do a goddamned thing about it.



I figure a few minor injuries in the sand and mud should save him from having to join his dad in the titanium screw club later on...

Actually we were encouraged because the bus system sucked and it was the only way to get around - OK I am old and we didnt have Japanese import cars back then. After I came off under a bus and my brother crashed in the Domain my Mum decided we should get cars.

Not till after she passed away we both got bikes again.

[Conquiztador]

My oldest is riding. His mum disapproves after his hospital experience.

The other 3 young uns all ride. Youngest has aspirations to become MX WC. And who am I to stop them?

I did what I wanted. And I tell my boys to do the same. Be that biking or ballet. (I do prefer biking...)

[Headbanger]

I was put on a bike at about age 7, always had at least one ever since, The old boy was and still is mad keen on motorcycles.

Never hooked up with a lady who would have thought to stop my riding, I would have laughed heartily and poked her in the eye.

Having said that, If anyone in my life had disapproved I would have been oblivious to it.

Not me,as i said very lucky i was.Amazing how things have moved on,ive a mate with 2 boys aged 7 and 9,i was round at his place the other day as he couldnt get there 2 smoker mx bike to go,whilst in the process of getting it working i thought back to my SL125 years and couldnt believe how tiny the 2 smoker was in comparison to my first set of 2 wheels not to mention the suspenders.

I got a motorcycle because my mother said I had to - cars were too expensive...and my cousin had a Bantam he wasn't using,so she bought it for me.I paid her back the $60 at $10 a week.Of course she dropped my board by $5 a week so I could afford to.I was earning $18 a week,giving her $15...and the Bantam cost 50 cents a week to run,so I was pretty flush for money.I didn't mind,as I had thought my cousins Bantam was pretty cool...and didn't have to ask Mum if I could have it.

All my 4 kids have a bike,supplied by me,and they can ride them anytime they like.Not too keen on them going on the road though

[gijoe1313]

'cause they won't let me have a tank to run around in Started getting interested in bikes at same time as me younger brother, mum started having conniptions when she found out her two sons were going to be riding death machines ...

So I backed right off and let younger bro have the run of two wheels, I was fairly put out, but stowed it.

Years later, coast is clear ... and I've made up lost time with a vengeance!
