I'm 29 years old and have been riding for just over a year now. Talk about a late bloomer.

From the time I was little I knew I would buy my own bike someday (dirt, street, it didn't matter). My Dad's been riding motorcycles for just about all of his life (50+ years), so riding (and racing?) was in my blood. I've yet to do any kind of racing, but as soon as I get a few TrackDays under my belt I would like to try my hand at CMRA racing.  

Click here & scroll 1/2 way down to find my complete list of bikes I've ridden. Ive straddled an occasional dirt bike when I was 15 and got my first taste of street riding on my Dad's Yamaha Virago 750 while in college (w/o driver's license :mrgreen: ), but it wasn't until August '03 that I purchased my first bike, a '96 GS500. I've been commuting on it every chance I get, that is whenever its not being repaired on :x

Other than some recreational roadracing

I would luv to try some

Supermoto (motorcycle version of Rally racing),

some desert racing out in Nevada or California,

or the ultimate Paris-Dakar Rally.

Well, I can always dream, right?

I'm a begginer by GSJack's standards, 59 in Feb, first bike in summer of '63 rode a few short years then a loooooooong break until suddenly inSeptember 2001 I fancied a bike and started over again with a new Honda GS125, changed to the GS in June 03 after getting full license back in December 02.
To this day I have no idea what triggered the impulse to get a bike again but I'm real glad I did, that had a trigger affect on co-workers and a couple of them have come back, born-again bikers plus one forty-something started afresh.
