I'm still learning!
But had a mini bike at 11 or 12 years old (grew up in San Diego East County; very rural). Got a Yamaha RD200 when I was 14 or 15. Hit a car that pulled out in front of me on my XS400 and nearly got killed at age 17. So, a long, long break until I was 44. Took a proper MSF course and rode a 150cc scooter for a few years until I got the Savage at age 50.

Reply #18 - 07/10/17 at 10:49:50 I learned on a Honda CT70 during 7th grade which would have been either the fall of 1976 or spring of 1977. By the time I was in high school, there were 2 or 3 2-stroke Jap enduros and a collection of smaller UJMs in the neighborhood.

Reply #19 - 07/12/17 at 16:05:15 When I learned to ride, Fred Flintstone and I had to "whittle" out the wheels from a couple of rocks nearby! Engine was pretty weak, and not much lo-end torque! Certainly no speed!

Dirt bikes and off road at about 12, and up until about 17. Didn't have my endorsement and at 17 got cited on a friend's bike for him not having it insured and me not having a helmet on.

Didn't get another of my own until I was 34, at which time I got my endorsement with my 1 and only road bike I've ever had. Been riding that bike now for the last 8+ years Cool

(even if I've only put on less than 10k miles in those 8 years at least I'm still riding)
