I will be 23 on the 19 feb. I have been riding for about 7 months. I rode a Katana 600 for 2 months(3000 mi) and then I saw the busa for a good price so I bought it and I have had it for months and put 1800mi on it. Still riding the Katana for about 30min a week but other than that I ride the busa everyday. I caught alot of crap from people because I only rode something else for 2 months. But my outlook on it is that if I am careful I will be fine and I have been I just have to pay attention to everything around me and not be stupid. I can do that!!

from the time I was a baby my father rode a bike to work every day... need less to say I wanted one!!

1st bike honda Z-50 age 8
next bike I went up to a honda XR-80 age 10
from there I got in to the race bikes and started racing
when I was old enough to hit the road my first street bike was a EX-500. from there I worked my way up through 3 more sport bike's (never had a cruiser) the next bike I'll have to say will more than likely be a cruiser... but I'm not letting the busa go!!
they will have to just get along!
so total years riding 9 years dirt
15 years street

At 16 years of age, I was fortunate to be in the British Army, part of their training as I was in a transport unit was a motorcycle licence. Passed my test on a 500ccMilitary Armstrong. I have been riding big bikes ever since which has led me to this monster of a bike.

At this moment in time, I have been riding for 16 years. Only 3 points on my licence and would you believe it, it was for speeding(who me?) I can say with fingers crossed, touched wood, I haven't had any accidents......

Picked up my first bike at 20, couldn't afford a car, and needed a cheap way to get around at school. Picked up a Yamaha RD350. Put about 25K miles on it. Quit riding for a while and got the bug again about 7 years later. Picked up a concours, put 35K on it, sold it, bought a vfr, put about 30K miles on it, and still have it. Bought the 'busa this year, best bike I've ever had. Total, I've been riding about 18 years.
