32 years on the road, had dirt bikes on the farm before that.
Havent been without a bike for more than a week or two since I was 16.

Stopped counting after the first 40+ bikes.

Arrived in Australia in 2004, no job, no car, no house or home, no possesions,
no Australian licence, no medi-care, didnt know a soul here, my life in a suitcase...
...so I bought a brand new Hayabusa with Yoshi pipes,
polished wheels, black screen, etc etc...

Got to have a bike...

tested on a BSA Bantam, comical performance with the tester cutting through a link road to pop up suddenly with a newspaper in his hand for an emergency stop.

Back to biking 4/5 yrs ago as needed to cheer myself up a bit with one thing and another, some people relax sitting out in all weathers fishing, with me it's a nice bike ride.

on and off for me,used to runaround on my brothers fizzy in the late 70's early 80's great fun,then a break till about the early 90's when i rode around on a honda cub 70 for a good few years then life got in the way family kids the usual stuff,then got a scooter around 2000 that was bloody useless then a yamaha ybr 125 about 2005 which i took my test on,then moved onto a bandit 6 and now got the thunderace which is a keeper and im still looking for a second(or third)bike to go with the Ace

Lads I don't think it matters how old we are, when it comes to biking the years roll back and we enjoy it now as much as when we took our first ride.
I personally will be riding, no matter how old I get till I can't physically ride anymore, it's in my blood
