I started riding twice. First time in my twenties--saw a bike for sale, bought it and rode it home, just one city block. only had it a few months. A few years later got another shifter on right foot brake on left --had it about a year. Fast forward 40 years, got my current bike new. A whole different ball game. Was too confident ---crashed it after a few weeks-nothing serious but could have been Really the best thing that could happen. Maybe too many brain cells destroyed over the years--riding like a teenager--no offence. Should know better. Now I have fun but with more caution. Great to know that at 63 I can make up for lost time.
Ride Safe!

Started at the ripe old age of 19. Rode with my uncle-in-law in the desert on a DR-350 for 6 hours (about 100 miles total). Now I'm 20 (wow, it's like 4 months later

), and riding my REAL first bike, which is a '97 GS500e. I love my bike

Got my first minibike when I was 11. It was a Keystone minibike, 2-stroke, purchased from the Eatons catalog for $145.00!
