Default Re: What made you want a motorbike ?

At 16 I was fed up of the bus. So bought a 'ped to use for a year until I could have a car at 17. But after a year on two wheels I just wanted more bike so stuck with two wheels for many years after.

I got in to bikes as I just wanted to go fast and couldn't afford a car to match the thrill of a bike. That's not why I keep riding though

Moto GP last year at silverstone, I had bikes off road since i was 4, the intention was to pass my test and go on the green lanes.. however i found road riding more fun and the rest as they say is history...

To wear tight leather and impress the ladies with my huge wheels and tricks

Really because the freedom, family thing, and there fun. Cars are boring so used for shopping in and carrying hard to shift items, like the lass from last night.

One of my earliest memories is of sitting on the tank of my dads BSA Bantam while he rode around the local streets. I guess it just grew from there although I haven't grown up much.

Shouldn't it be us females doing that for you?
Although... A man in leathers is quite irresistible.
