I started riding dirt bikes at young age. 6 to be exact. Stopped riding dirt bikes when I was 29 due to a bad crash leaving me hospitalized for a month. (I had a little crazy in me still) Bought my first street bike when I was 18 and rode street bikes up until July last year when a dear fried of mine was killed minding his own business. It was my 3rd friend to die on a bike, that was enough for me to give it up. Sold the two bikes I had and didn't look back. Over the years I have owned and ridden over 30 dirt bikes, sometimes owning as many as 5 at once. I have also owned about 20 street bikes, ranging from my first bike, a 1991 CBR600F2 (bought new) to my last 2 bikes, 2012 Yamaha R6 and a 2010 Harley V-Rod Muscle. Which is probably what let me to the scooter, I love 2 wheels, absolutly LOVE 2 wheels, and I love modifying what I have on 2 wheels. Just don't want to die because people are idiots. I am also into 80's BMX/Freestyle big time bmxmuseum.com/user/26916

wow after reading everyone else s story i feel like i kinda did things ass backwards. my first gas powered bike was project hustler a taotao vip 50 way back when i first joined this forum, whats it been like 3,4 years now. im sure the date is around here somewheres, anyways i rode the dog piss outta that thing everywhere i went. eventually my boss at the time decided his bike a 2k zx9 had been sitting around for too long and told me to ride it back and forth to work for him. did that for about a month got caught (the sheer acceleration was just too addictive) spent some time in the slammer and came out hooked i mean HOOKED on motorcycles. from that point on every move i made was to get to my final goal of owning my own bike. circle around to a year or so later and a 97 vt1100 with 5k miles falls into my lap for a g. it wasnt really what i wanted but it was cheap and loud so fuck it right. nope! rode it around for a week..... maby less and put it on craigslist for trade for a sports bike and within a day or so i had a 97 zx11 instead of a 97 vt1100 turd mobile. rode that around for a month got caught went back to the slammer. decided i had to get a job where i didnt have access to a dealer plate cause lets face it jail sucks, i don't care how minimum the security is that shit sucks! so i find a new job at a body shop this time and my boss winds up being a coach for team promotion one of the bigger motorcycle track day organizations on the east coast. he sees me playing around on my scooter saw something that impressed him and decided he was gonna give me a shot on one of his race bikes. i wind up wrecking the bike my first time out lol but all that is already in my ama here i come thread 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/6597/ama-come-lol
