I suppose I'll be 19 when I actually get a bike. But 18 when I took the MSF/got licensed.

I wish my parents had gotten me into it when I was younger too. As of yet they still don't know I'm even licensed. But in due time they'll figure it out. They've already caught me several times with craigslist/cycle trader open on the computer so they've probably figured it out by now and just haven't said anything.
Have fun on the open /¦\

I think I was 19 o 20. A friend left a non running bike at my house( cant remember what it was,some type of UJM). I got it running, then took it down the driveway. I accidentally dropped it at the end of the driveway. I was hooked.

I'll be 30 is September. Not sure how many bikes Ive had since. Mostly beaters. I'll try to remember:

78 or 79 Honda cx500
81 Suzuki GS550
93 Honda CBR1000F
84 Honda NightHawk 650
85 Honda vt500
82 Kaw LTD 750
72 Honda CB750
76 Honda CB360
78 Suzuki 250 cc somethingerother

76 Vespa Rally 200

several mopeds, Puch, Sachs Motobecane, Moto Morini.

Im pretty into bicycles too. I basically like anything with two wheels.
2000 Suzuki Bandit 1200s
Vespa Rally 200 in pieces

thats better than what my parents used to catch me looking at on the computer.

i am taking the MSF @ 20 but wont get the licence till i turn 21 to avoid 2 trips to the DMV (within a month of each other)
