20 yrs old, and i think it was Manfeild in 1991 (hazy time for me
) my first race bike was an UUUUUUUUUGLY Suzuki Impulse. Crashed that a few times, did some good laps, got hooked
I got better bikes after that

The first event was a road hill climb in about 1989 on an 81 GSX750 when I was 21. Three of us had just gone thirds in a CT125 Bucket racer which we entered in the same event - unfortunitley it lunched itself before I got to ride it
This was followed by an MB100 bucket which was raced irregularly for several years (used to ride it to work also). In about 2000 I got the chance to ride a mates CBR400. I really enjoyed it - so dragged the old GSX750 out for a couple of club days. This was followed by an FZR400 and now a CBR600.
I have also used the poor long suffering GSX for beach racing, mini TTs and gravel hill climbs
bet you $1 you read this
Started riding when I was 20, had a Kawasaki Balius 250, then had a k2 gsxr 600, then a couple of mud slingers ktm 125 and a kx250 went back to road bikes and got a '05 zx10r replaced it with a '06 zx10r.. and had my first race on that in 2007 age 27 wound up doing a few more club events and BOS then moved to Melbourne and raced an R1 for a while and did the motoGP superbike support races and some other club stuff.

Such a long time ago,,
about 1974 at around 16yrs old I raced enduro/motocross, but I dont remember what we called it. I was even used to make a Suzuki advert after winning in Raglan..the ad ended with rider removing helmet and shaking out long hair (female)...oh well!
In 1975 I went onto the road at New Lynn on a CR250m with CB125 wheels off my mates bike.
A couple of outings here n there, and then got married, joined the Army, raised kids.
Got back into bikes in 2000 and do the odd track day here n there. I had a VTR1000SP1 Trackbike for a while, but sold it due to change of circumstances.
Now I fly to NZ instead of doing trackdays.. Hoping that things will pick up and I can get back to doing both

Saving the goat....
15 yrs old on my Katana 750 at Baypark in 85 - used to try and keep up with sidecar bob on his 1100 Katana......
Then progressed to a GSX1135 at 16, bored it to 1229cc then I could kick Bobs arse!!!!
Turned 17, found out about a 3 wheeled contraption called a sidecar, Bob and I built one for $1600 and went out and raced it in the full nationals (7 rounds back then), and duly came 3rd in our first ever National series! (I had just turned 18).
Then progressed to better sidecars, and more titles.
Geezuz, I feel old now......................
