I don't know if anyone started a thread like this, but I think it's fun... Post your age, years riding (any thing off road counts, i.e., the first thing I rode was an old 79 ATC 110), What sort of jobby job you do (aka, Military, Student, McDonalds, etc) and then riding style (MX, woods / trails, time-trials, mix of mx and woods, etc.) I'll start (please follow the format so that others can just copy and paste it on their reply...
