How old is everyone?

21 here. riding since i turned 18, only owned one bike... my 82 XJ750 Maxim. been on quite a few bikes belonging to others though.

 

38 here rode all kinds of bikes and 3-wheelers,4-wheelers when i was growing up.The first bike that i owned was a 400 hondamatic,and the other is my xj700 maxim.well that about sums it up for me,talk to yall later.

 

30. My first bike was a 1972 Yamaha JT60 when I was 12, but I learned to ride on my cousin's 1971 Honda trail 70. My first street bike was my XJ650RJ, and was 17 when I bought it. Let it go a few years ago because of space. I bought an XV535 last summer, and wasn't too impressed with the V-twin. So, I went hunting for another XJ, and found a good deal on some boxes full of parts and a frame that used to be one this past winter. I've about got it all back together minus the grab bar, headlight, and doing the fine tuning. Looks like I'll have it just in time for the nice weather.

 

I am 62!
My first bike was a 1965 Yamaha two stroke twin which I bought in Nassau, Bahamas in 1968.
Now have a 1982 XJ750RK with 13,000 miles. So far, so good! It runs like new.
Been riding for more than 40 years. Both street and dirt, still do both!

 

turned 63 in december rode B S A and honda when i was younger last year traded an old pathfinder for a 750 maxim love it running great saving a ton of gas money been wrenching jap cars for 40 years

 

I will be 50 in July.

Been riding 38 years now. I reckon I got about another 30 or so ridin' years left in me.

Owned lots of bikes, mostly Yamahas. Had a couple Hondas and Harleys.

My whole family rides now. That's how you do it, Get your family hooked and they don't look at you funny when you pick up another bike. You don't even have to justify the purchase either. They already know your addicted to two wheels.

NICE!!!! Thats hows it supposed 2 be, when u've been riding as long as u... SWEET!!! :twisted:

 

Just turned 24 a week ago. I rode an '86 Honda VF500F Interceptor for two years and after riding a Yamaha R1 and a Honda 1800 VTX a few times each, I decided that a cruiser was for me. I sold the Honda and I'm going to pick up my 82 650 Maxim tomorrow and I'm driving 7 hours round trip to get it. Can't wait to get on it for the first time.

 

30 here, started at 5 yrs old on a brand new honda 50, then a older trail seventy, a 100(or was it a 125??), the first bike I bought with my own money was a honda 350 enduro which by todays standards was a friggen tank. THe a 550 super sport off a guy that had done a bunch of motor work to it man that thing was fast!! 147 was my fastest on it looking back what a stupid thing to do. I stopped riding for the last 4-5 yrs. Till I started helping a friend get his ready for the season then I found my Xj maxim X sitting along the road waiting for me and I am back on 2 wheels.

 

45 been riding since 10 years old,1980 1340 flht,83 900 seca bought new just out of h.s.

 

I turn 39 next month, WOW how'd that happen. I have had my motorcycle liscense for 12 years now but only been riding actively for 3 years. My first bike was a 1984 Suzuki 550RS. Thats the bike I learned on. Sure does seem like ages ago.

 

I will be 63 in another 3 months. Been riding since I was 21. That makes, what? 42 years! What happened? My first bike was a 1966 Yamaha YDS3 250 twin two stroke. Next, a 1968 AT1 125 Enduro, wasn't big enough! Next a 1969 CT1 Enduro. Kept that one for years until my teenage son got it stolen....... Then a 1977 XS750 Triple, Great bike! A 1983 XJ750 Maxim, then a 1987 Honda TLR 200 Enduro. Now own a 1984 Honda XR200R, the greatest for dirt and a 1982 XJ750RK Seca, great street bike and my Gas Saver, over 50 MPG average. Hope to continue riding for some time to come

 

I'm 38, and it makes me shudder to think that I got my first bike at 8 years of age (Honda XL75). It just dawned on me that my son is now that exact age that I was when I first started. I went for my motorcycle license within a month after I turned 16 (one week after I received my car license). I went on a 12 1/2 year hiatus as a rider... which ended last night !! First ride on my 750 Maxim since 1995 and man, was it sweet !

 

53 years old, rode in my 20's then had a 30 year break. Started again last year and just can't figure out why I stopped. I guess work and family.

 

Johndo, Used to live in Jupiter.

 

I'll be 26 on June 29th. I purchased an 83 XJ900 3 weeks ago. It's the first bike of any kind that I've ever ridden, let alone owned. I love it. I'm afraid I'm hooked for life.

 

I'll be 50 in November. Started riding dirt bikes in the streets and on the side of the parkways on Long Island - got chased alot by the cops, LOL. Rode yamahas and suzukis, then got my driver's license and bike license and rode a brand new 1981 Suzuki 450E (nice little bike) - jumped right to a brand new Suzuki 1100E (best bike i've ever riden-kick ass fast!) stopped riding in the late 80's (don't know why, maybe the DWI's had something to do with it) Started riding again 20 years later when i moved down here to Florida. A guy i worked with had "this bike" i could have for $10 bucks a week till i paid it off ($500) it needed EVERYTHING. It wasn't exactly what i wanted but it was cheep!! So now i have a 1983 Yamaha XJ750. I gave it new rubber and some rewiring, some paint, and a new tail light and started to ride. I was scared shitless, the bike was junk!. I rebuilt the front forks, and bought all new cables, got the carbs syncronized, and slowly but surely the bike started to ride better and gave me a safer feeling on the road. gets 48MPG, and i ride to work every day.

 

Well I am 34, and my 82 Maxim 400 is my first street bike, (also had dirt bikes when i was a kid) and i bought it last fall from a co-worker, his wife owned it for 12 yaers and hardly ever drove it. It has 8000 original kms on it, yes i did say 8,000!! and it just passed inspection today with flying colors, so come monday, i am officially on the road.........can't wait!!

 

I am 39. I just bought my first bike in 20 years, a xj750 Maxim.

 

I'm 19 and I just got my first bike, a non running XS400 Maxim
