I was 18 and fresh out of basic training. picked it up real quick cause it was my only mode of transportation, and I rode with about a dozen squids all the time. i put 8000 on the bike the first 6 months.

I started riding dirt bikes at 12, my first bike was an xr80.
My first road bike was a 79mdl srx250 (mad little bike, quick for a 250 and great handling) I got it of a mate basically for free. He got it off a mate that worked at the tip (where it was dumped) neither of them could get it started so they gave it to me and all it was in the end was the carby and the battery. I didnt spend any money on carby and the battery was cheap. The bike was in good condition and never dropped as far as i could tell, that is until i got it. About 12months after i got it, a car pulled out in front of me and my mate (that was on the back)
I dropped it narrowly missing the car. We just took off skin, no broken bones. All the bike copped was a broken indicator and a small dint in the tank, 12 months later and after much thrashing, i sold it for $500. it was a good bike.
I had a yamaha xr550 road bike after that and a rt390 2 stroke road/trail
but sold them 2.
I now ride a 75 ninja 600, also a mad bike.

I want a duke 900ss or something like that next.

I was 8 when I got my first fat wheel honda-matic 50. That lasted me for 3 years when my father bought me a hudaka (spelling?) 100 cc Then it is one bike after another as I got into moto-cross. I wrecked more bikes and broke more bones than I can remember. At 16 I was furtunate enough to get my father's 69' BSA lighting. It was a custom that he rescued from the bone yard. At 18 my father gave me his 67 xlh sportster. My daily ride was a 84 Yamy fj1100.
Now in my mid thirtys with kids and a morgage the closest I get riding to 2 wheels is on a mountain bike with the kids at the park.

I voted 15 because my first vehicle was a Vespa scooter which I needed to get back and forth to my part-time job after school. Now I am 60, and getting to the point of not remembering how many motorcycles I have had over the decades. Currently, I ride either my '92 Harley FXRS-Convertible or my 03 FXDXT. My wife rides an '02 Harley FXDL. Our daughter rides a '98 Kawasaki Vulcan Classic Cruiser. I suspect my grandkids will ride when they are much younger than I started.

2 weeks before I turned 3 I rode my first bike solo. It was an automatic 50cc Indian.

I started on my dad's riding lawnmower and upgraded to his honda 500/4 when I was 14... licence when I was of age. Born in 1970 before a ton of bikes were on the road.
