I used to ride pillion on my Dad’s DT250 and GT550 and also went pillion on my brothers CBR 600 and I was hooked. Then when I was able to afford it I took my CBT with my friend and bought a TZR 125 then when I could really afford it (plus the financial assistance of the same friend who put me through my full license) I bought myself a 92 'blade.
Oh I loved that bike.
Living on a farm on the yorkshire moors we had a farm hand who had a dirt bike for tearing across the fields digging out sheep lost in the snow, Soon convinced my adoptive daddy to let me have a kmx200 and it all started from there many fzr’s and cbr’s later i found my real dad and discovered he owned a bike shop:D guess its in the blood!
Pretty much 'coz my parents forbad me from getting on a bike. Did at 13 (pillion), a year later rode my first bike. Was hooked. Nagged till just gone 16 when I bought my first bike with holiday work money. Parents gave in thinking it was a passing phase, 33 years later and it still hasn’t worn off. Only been without a bike for 3 years in that time.
Truly in my blood.
When my brother was old enough, folks bought the bike off me and gave it to him, he never took to it.

it was all the fissies, ss50, garrelli’s etc whizzing about just had to have one, to go to school on…oh how badass we thought we were 
always luv’d bikes but previous gf’s (been a few) :Whistling: wouldn’t let me so when i turn’t single last time went out n got one
My Dad always had motorcycles…big Kawasaki street bikes…and dirt bikes. Some of my earliest memories are of riding with him…he got me a 50cc dirt bike not long after I got the training wheels off my bike…and it’s been a never ending progression of dirt bikes/atvs/street bikes ever since.
got a job in canary wharf, hated the commute so got a 125 scooter thinking i’d never want anything more. used to park next to a newbie guy on a fazer and decided yep, i want something bigger. Within 6 months i had done my test and was on my first 600 
Four bikes later…
Haha whoops… of course i meant two-stroke Motorcycles…
My big bro Beemerman’s Norton Dominator. One of these…
i got fed up with cars being sterile and simply boring after some time. used to cycle in full gear down to das training place…
cracking thread this:D keep’em coming!
My mum and dad ride bikes and when i was 10 i was given my 1st bike a Puch 50 scrambeler.
I hope it was restricted young man:cool:
We would hate to offend Mr.Thompson;)
got a puch maxi 50cc when i was 6. then raced crossers for years and always pi$$ed around in the fields on em too. Then at 21 i decided it was time to have a bash at road bikes and did DAS…a year later i decided to have a bash at trackdays…1 month later i bought a race bike…one month later i won my first race. the rest is painful :hehe:
haha that made me chuckle:D good on ya fella, you must LUUURVE bikes;)
Forgot to say, I started with one of these

KOOOOOOOOLLLL!:w00t:
I grew up in Italy so bikes were alwasy around, when i was about 3 or 4 I actually remember pointing to a green monster of a bike (must have been a suzuki probably) and begging someone to put me on it - maybe i thought it was one of those electric thingys you get outside supermarkets where you put 50p in the slot.
Anyway, years later i was going through some old photos and what do i find? a photo of me on that very bike!
I’m 33 now and i’ve been riding off and on since I was 15.
I started with a malaguti fifty top!
well i got into biking from going on the back of my mates 50cc scooter in 2000, that was it, i was hooked!, i bought a few peds first, then decided to get a 125 motorbike, then when i moved to London i did me bike test and that was it!, woot.
I love my bikes.:D:w00t:
Got fooked off with the cost of public transport into work, rushed out and bought a scooter, did my CBT on a geared bike and realised I preferred bikes to scoots, so sold the scoot with 600 miles on the clock. By this time I was comletely bitten by the bike bug
Was gonna practice for nearly 2 years and then take the test, but being the impatient bstd that I am took it 3 months after the CBT. Fkn love it !
My old man used to go down the Ace years ago, when they used to race up to hanger lane and back.
