G'day all
Been riding since I was 17, learned on my late mate's Suzuki A100 two stroke. As I am now approaching 53 that makes it (wait till I get the plastic brain out) 36 years with a break of 5 years. My first missus wouldn't let me ride.
Call it 30 years. ain't life grand.
Keep the black rim protectors on the black stuuf and stay upright.

About 17 years all up - 6 of those on the road....
Don't give up.
Not now, not soon, not after being continually knocked down.
If you never give up, you can never truly fail.

23 years, meself...
Oh crud... 23 years was a long time ago. When did I get old...
We're the first ones to starve
We're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky
But we're always the last
When the gravy's shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

4 months 5,000 miles and counting. I pass MSF course in December start riding ever since. I plan to take ERC course right after 6 months period due to stat about a big percentage of accident with 6 month to 2 years experience rider.

Well, I started 37 years ago on a 1960 something Honda Sport 50 (unless you count the Taco 22 mini-bike I rode when I was ten). Lots of bikes came after that 'till I hit my mid-30s, then I took eleven years off. I had been commuting by bike for years, when I finally decided that EVERYONE in a car was trying to kill me!
After the eleven years passed, I had calmed down and really wanted to ride again, and bought myself the Bonneville. So, that makes 26 years actually riding.

13 years here- boy they just fly by when you're having fun! When I started EVERYONE told me that all riders have an accident in the first 5 years. Still waiting! Anyone else hear that one?
PS Did I just jinx myself?

This question reminds me of another, that being: How long have you worked here.
The answer is: Ever since they threatened to fire me.
Ha ha.
32 years (on and off road)
Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

36 years this year, and I am only 42. Started on a Honda 50 Mini trail and been on two wheels ever since. Now riding an 07 Heritage Classic Softail. Best bike I ever had!
