I was 8 when my dad bought me my first dirt bike. Gotta love growing up on a farm with plenty of space to ride :D !

Was about 14 years old when I got my 1st Honda trail 90. $65.00, big money back then. That was 40 years ago and I truthfully do not even know how many bikes I have owned since. :oops: Senility may be kikin in but I can still remember the cool ones like my 49 pan head and old Triumph chopper made out of scavenged parts :lol: and last but not least my ol 78 Wing "Blue Blazes" Cheers, Max

I think around 7 or 8. My dad brought home an old Lambretta scooter and said I could try it in the field. Step one-run immediately into the fence. Think about this for a moment. OK. Let's try this again. I remember that I couldn't kick start it so I would always park it on a hill. I WILL RIDE THIS THING!!! Been downhill ever since.
I would be the old, slow guy. Just let me know where you are going and I'll try to get there before you leave.

Another vote for early 20's. I'm now ten years older and that was four bikes ago.
