Poll: How long have you been riding for?
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.

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.

Re: Poll: How long have you been riding for?
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)

PS Did I just jinx myself?
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
