Started off with a 1982 Honda Odyssey (sp?). Was 10 at the time. Then had a 1984 200x 3-wheeler, 1985 200x 3-wheeler, 1989 250x quad (i think). 2000 xr400r dirtbike, 2001 400ex. So to answer the question, I have been riding 20 years. Next quad will be... probably not a Honda, unless they get their act together.

I started when I was 2 years 8 months. I got a JR 50 with training wheels for Christmas that year, dad shoveled the sidewalk, I rode to mom, she'd pick the bike and me up and turn me around, and I'd ride to dad......did that until that thing ran out of gas!!!!! Been hooked ever since..... Couldn't walk or talk....but I could drool and ride! Funny thing is....somethings never change!:D

I started riding just before I was 3 years old and I am 15 now. I started riding on a Yamaha Tri-Zinger 60 then the next year I got a Yamaha 4-Zinger 60, those are the 2 most reliable quads I have ever owned, went all those years with me jumping (no suspension), sliding, and hauling @ss everywhere, never once got a top end rebuild(they were 2-strokes) and never skipped a beat, when we finally traded them in (about 3 years ago) the tires were bald and the brakes didn't work, not to mention I looked like an elephant on a tri-cycle.

I was born on a bike....;)
nah seriously.

I was born and raised in NYC, manhattan (my hometown) . I use to ride bmx bikes ,jumping down 2 flights of stairs at 6 years old was the usual.
I was brought to nj to live with my aunt and uncle and rode a cr-80 when I was 8 :eek:

at 12 years old I had a moped and ended up putting a front tire from a cr-80 on the rear of the moped....(a dirtped)

I got a big bore kit for the moped and one day my dad saw me trying to put car shocks in place of the stock shocks so I could have more travel. He asked what I was doing and i told him, "When i hit the whoops at 30 mph it hurts and I fell off last time"

I think my dad came to his senses and realized my little hobby was gonna turn bad if i kept riding the dirt ped like a motorcycle..

So he agreed to pay for half.... in two weeks I had half the money to buy my very first dirt bike, a 1989 cr-80 (just when they changed the plastics to cherry red)

boy was it fun...

Shoot, 11 years ago when I was 3, I rode an LT-80. It wasn't mine but I rode it once a month. I got my own LT-160 when I was 7, then the 300EX when I was 10, and just bought my DS 650 a little over a month ago. No monetary help from parents on the DS, oh yeah :macho :p
Kinda wierd how I doubled the ccage on every purchase :huh
