I started in the dirt @ around age 9. Got on the street for the first time at age 28. My mom never wanted me on a street bike.

I was 14 and the neighbors got a mini bike that I helped repair. So we rode in the rocky wooded pasture behind the house. Then again I took the MSF class at 58 and finally got a license........
