I was *counts on fingers* 16 the first time a now-ex convinced me to ride on his Honda Shadow, and 18 when I convinced a different ex to teach me to ride his CBR 600.

When Did You Get the Itch

I first started riding in my head. I think I was 12. The real world just progressed smoothly from there. (I think I was 19 or 20 when I actually hit a kickstart for the first time.)

14 years old on a 74 yamaha 350 2 stroke! It was registered as a moped and it looked like one to boot. I never got in trouble or even questioned about the moped tags on it and all emblems were long gone when I got it! I wish I still had that little bike! Then again I wish I still had every bike I ever had!
I blame the whole riding bug on Arthur "Fonzi" Fonzerelli

Hi
Started riding at 16 (moped)
Rode then until getting engaged (10 yrs)
took a break of 22 yrs before my collegue suggested I get a bike to avoid paying the toll bridge and use the funds to pay for the bike
Havn't looked back - thanks Lisa.

A friend offered to take me out for some "motorcycle therapy" after I had a bad break up about 5 years ago. I was only a passenger, but I fell in love.
I watched my older brother get his first bike and start riding. Then I met my boyfriend who rides and races, and I finally signed up for MSF and got my license a month ago, first bike 2 weeks ago. I'm 27.

I got the itch while hanging on to the gas tank of a Harley Davidson at the ripe ol' age of 5. My Godfather was best friends with a gentleman named Trev Deeley and received a loaner bike every summer from him. Them were the good ol' days...
