This is my 6th season riding the street and 2nd season riding the track.

When I was growing up I rode mopeds and the occassional dirt bike, until I pursued my license in '98 through a private motorcycle school.

My first bike was a cruiser, a little Rebel 250, but I outgrew it really fast. I continued to ride it for another year and a half. Went to a dealership one day to look at a newer, bigger cruiser and saw a red Ninja ZX6E and had to have it

Since then I've never looked back. I have a Honda F4i for the street now and another from the track.

Yeah, I'm hooked.

I've been riding as passenger for a lot of my life. I finally was able to afford my own motorcycle in 2003.

Bought my first bike in '86. Learned to ride in '74, but until I got my own bike it was just bummed rides on friends' bikes now and then.
