Been riding since 1982. Started out on a Honda 110. Been hooked eversince.

my first bike was a christmas present in 1981. it was an atc 90. then in 1984, i got a brand new 1985 atc 125m for christmas.

so i have been riding for 25 of the 33 years i have been alive...

[Iliketogofast]

15 years. I would go to my grandparent's house every day since I was around 4 and ride an ATC 90, then when I was 6 my parents got me a little Honda dirtbike. When I was 8 or 9 I started riding my grandpa's 200SX, and after that I got my own 250EX. Then I traded that (straight trade :D ) for a 400EX, and after that I traded the 400EX and a Suzuki LT160 for my R.

8 years, then about an 11 year hiatus (moved and sold everything) Just getting back into it again and I don't know why i ever stopped! :p

[54warrior]

Riding quads: just over 10 years
Riding in general: 16 years

Started out at age 14 with a brand new 96 Warrior. Then in 2002 I bought a 2003 C'dale which I sold in 2005.

My first set of wheels was a 1982 Honda XR80 dirtbike at age 8. Then I got a 1979 Honda XL100 bike. I bought a 1987 CR125 at age 13 that was a POS and I swore I'd never own another 2-stroke!!!! After losing my *** on the CR, I bought the Warrior.

For all you 'younguns out there, it is possible to get jobs and work and pay for this stuff yourself. Yes, my first two bikes were purchased by my parents. Everythng since then was paid for by me, including the Warrior when I was only 14 years old.

I have been racing since I was 3 or 4. I got a little suzuki 50 when I was a month old and my dad would take me around the yard on it. I have had many quads and dirtbikes over the years and now have a 2006 300ex and also a 2007 Crf 250x. I have been riding/racing for around 11 years. I am now 14 years old and have practically grown up on bikes and quads.
