What made you want a motorbike ?
What got me into bikes was definitley Kanedas bike out of Akira - you know the red one, as a kid I always wanted a bike like that when I could... still waiting
 Just the shape of it was perfect, still love it now. (tried adding a pic - not sure how).So what about you guys/gals what was the first thing that made you really want a motorbike ? |

Re: What made you want a motorbike ?
Me and my Dad started going to the TT about 7 years ago annd my interest sparked then.
Then my Dad got a motorbike again when I was 20 and that made me want to get a bike so I got my CBR125rr and then passed my DAS and got my SV. |

Re: What made you want a motorbike ?
At 16 I couldn't afford a car and driving a tractor to school wasn't cool.
