What got you into the idea of getting a bike
I got into them just seeing my dads 1985 honda interceptor

I always liked bikes but never had the balls to actually learn to ride, until a friend called out of the blue...said he was taking the MSF course and wanted to know if I wanted to do it with him. So I finally took the plunge.

Ironically enough, he didnt really get into riding seriously and ended up selling his bike after a few months.

I've always liked bikes, but I was force fed the "OMG DANGER" speeches so many times I kinda gave up.

Then my lovely wife bought me the MSF course for my 31st birthday and two weeks later.. a biker is born

I have been riding two wheelers seens I learned to ride a bicycle at a late age of about 10. later on my mother bought us boys a minnie bike and from there I went a step at a time to bigger and bigger two wheelers.

steve mcqueen?

I have been into sport cars as long as I can remember, but I have watched many of the coolest, fastest cars getting passed and overtaken by almost any bike, whether through a curve or even on a straightaway.

Plus it looked like just plain fun. I need a lot of excitement to stay entertained with life.

My dad has been riding since before I was born. There was always a motorcycle in the garage as far as I can remember.

I don't think I had a chance.

Always loved bikes, never had the balls to learn, then girlfriend went and took the MSF course and bought her own bike. That was the last straw.

looking at my grandfathers trophies and pictures of him racing.
And a very nice uncle who always had a spare minibike or small street bike for us to play on as kids.

Grew up on cycles, mountain bikes, commuter to school, commuter to work, saw sport-bikes in London, UK. Wow. DAS course...
