when/how were you introduced to motorcycles, what was your first whip?

[tommydiablo]

i'm new so i would like to know yall on here. my father brought me into the sport. he drag raced bikes {top gas and super comp, for those who know} i've been riding around on tanks since i was in diapers. i learned to ride when i was 5 on a trail 70. my first bike was a honda xr 75 when i was 6. i grew up around drag racing allthough i still love it my heart is in stunting. i used to do mx until i was 16. i started riding street bikes on my brothers kawi kz 650 drag bike when i was 11. and my dads fj1100 when i was 12 {which i dropped the first time in like 5 minutes, and yeah it was mint} my first street bike was a 94 gsxr 750. bought it at 17, i bussed tables to get that bitch. that sucked. ive have had a 96 750, 98 r1. 97/99 900rr's {crunchy} and a 00 zx 12r {totalled last may} current whip is a borrowed mint 02 gix 1000, so i just cruise. takin some time away from stunts to work out and recover from some nagging old injuries i never let properly heal. i'm 22 ive been riding for about 16 years pretty much on a daily basis..

my worst crash: zx12r @80 mph. lady cut me off, 3rd gear wheelie, threw it away, allthough I destroyed my g-unit classics, a teknic jacket and some gloves, i walked away with very minor road rash to my calf and knee. {rolling}

worst injury: broken right collar bone, shoulder blade, and a big headache, motocross when i was 16.

worst ticket: I95 wheelie, well into triple digits - willfull wanton disregard, wreckless endangerment, unlawfull speed. {yep all in one shot} i got arrested allthough my passenger had an endorsement so the fph let him ride my bike home and didnt tow it.

ok people post up. :dance:

[*eMiWeE*]

um my dad races dirtbikes...been around them my whole life....
i hate harleys thats the way i was raised! :tongue:

[bigzell]

well mines is not as interesting as yours. but here you go.

well i always loved bikes was never really around them but when my boys was looking at cars with rims and systems i was was loooking at a bike. so i have looking at them for while. then when i was like 20 at school i roads my frat brothers dual sport bike around the parking lot for like two days. and then i got my license via the class. then april 29.2004 my first bike a 2004 gsxr 600.

only one ticket it was a speeding 76/55. went to court for it and got driving school so i was happy about that.

i have been fortunate not to drop my bike so far. thats its.

[JESS SEX]

well my dad had some sort of kawasaki touring bike back in the day and all i remember is getting burnt by the pipes on my leg after a ride :crazy:

first bike: 98 gsxr 600 :guilty:

current bike: 02 gsxr 750 :hyper:

worst crash was on the 600 when i was leaving my house going down the road around a downhill right turn and i hit it too hard and went into the other lane and seen a car coming and locked up the front brakes and slid right into the drivers side tire totaling the 600 and popping the car tire, its was a dominos delevery guy and he didnt even call the cops first, he called his job talking about he cant deliver the pizza now! :headache: :bitchsla:

no tickets yet cause i dont stop for police! :flipoff:

[tommydiablo]

jess: he totaled your bike, he should have gave you the fuckin pizza. lmao. as far as cops i run when i can but they take pics of your lic plate, sneek up at intersections after following you for 20 minutes and snatch your key out. cops are getting real clever out here. not to mention i have been chased above 140 mph by helicopters. so we cant always run. just like 99% :dance:

and bigzell, it doesnt matter when you started or how good or long you ride, as long as it's in your heart, you ride as safe as you can and within your capabilities, your a pimp in my book. :pimp:

[tray]

No one really, I always wanted a zx7r for the longest time. Parents told me if I had a bike I would have to move out. So I bought a banshee instead rode that for a while moved out and had a 96 F3, sold it and now have my current turd. I rode bmx and flatland as well so I guess its kinda the same thing.....

[bkrgurl]

I always wanted motorcycles but my parents wouldn't buy me one. They said I had to buy it myself. So I saved up my $ and bought my kx100, 3 years ago. The next year I decided I needed something more so I bought my Katana 600. Then a few months later I decided to buy my crf 50 to practice my stunts on. I don't know where my love for motorcycles came from. Think I was born with it.

I have never crashed my road bike but I have crashed the kx100 more then i like to remember. My worst one was when i was riding it down the road with a bunch of friends to a neighbors track. I just got it and wasn't use to the powerband yet. I nailed it then shifted and popped the clutch. Well, I did my very first wheelie. Scared the shit out me and I put a leg down and flipped over. Tumbled down the road a little. Got some road rash and a broken finger.

No tickets yet, thank god. have been pulled over a couple times but got let go. One cop even told me if i was a guy he would give me a ticket but he thought it was great that i was a girl riding. then told me to keep up the good work. Yup, it's great being a women.

[Obnoxious]

I am currently riding an 02' R6, I bought it in June of last year. I have only ridden my street bike for 4 1/2 months. I have ridden quads since I was 5 and I have a 95' 300ex, that I bought when I was 16.

I do not have any crashes on my streetbike, but I have crashed my quad numerous times.

I have two tickets on my streetbike, 1 for no endorsement (couldn't wait to ride) and 1 for a 70 in a 55. Got them both at the same time.
:shoot: :cop:

[verticalfrank]

first bike: was an '88 GSXR 750 back in '96!!!!!! I was 19 at the time and always wanted on so I got it, a few friends from around town had bikes and once I got mine it seemed like everyone did. that's how I met most of my best friends. I've had many bikes since then.

worst crash / injury: was a few years ago I was doing a wheelie with my left foot on the right peg. when I cam down my foot slipped off the peg ( which left me kinda skitchin....more like getting drug by the bike ) that's the last thing I remember...next thing Iknow I wake up and all my friends were looking down at me. I caught a small tree between my neck and shoulder ( yes I was wearing a helmet ) the tree managed to catch me right under the helmet. As soon as I came to I stood up and walked it off. I went to the hospital later that night to get somethiing for the pain only to find out I broke my neck in three places!! I was riding 8 weeks later and have been fine since. Believe it or not that was one of the best thing that could have ever happend to me because it got me where i am now!!! crazy how things work out.

been riding for 8 or 9 years and have NEVER been pulled over and ticketed on my bike. Pulled over once when my g/f was on the back ( licence plate was mounted by my rear shock...just got a warning )

current bikes: see list under my avatar

[f4igIRlie]

I got into cars when i started working here at TurboXS (turboxs.com), for almost 3 yrs now. I got into bikes a long time ago, when a guy gave me a ride in downtown Tampa, FL, and i fell in love with it. Years later i met Gixxie and she taught me to ride, and here i am, a proud owner of my F4i.

[steve02]

A friend of mine got me into bikes .....1st bike was a 94 gsxr 750 in 99 rode that tank for a season then bought a 97 tls... loved it.. then had to upgrade and get the gsxr1k... still have it also a 01 zx6r, and a cruchy 00 F4....

Worst crash.... id have to say high sidin at the track nothing like gettin tossed from a bike @90mph some road rash on left leg and ass cheek...

[GosuPaintballer]

I'm in with the majority of ya'll about the parents not letting me get a bike deal. Finally turned 18 and saved enough money up and bought first dirtbike, Started riding street about the same time with dad on his Harley's. Begged and begged him to let me get a crotch rocket, and he always refused, so of course had to buy it myself too, i think i was 21 or 22 and got a used 97 gsxr 750. Then two years ago bought a new 03 954, wrecked it about 2 months ago for my first street accident ( hit an oil sleek in a turn about 1/2 a mile from my house on my way home at night ). Got a little road rash where it cut my jeans under my right knee, but had on my leather jacket, gloves, helmet. Just sold my 954 a few weeks ago and collected nicely on the insurance too, and now waiting on my 05 GSXR 1000 to come in. :D Never been caught by the police, there just too slow :tongue: Worse wreck i've ever had, was my friends that raced moto X talked me into tring it one time after i had been riding dirt for a few years. So of course i gave in and tried it, racing my CR 250 by the way. 15 of us on the line including three of my friends, come out of the hole shot, i'm 2nd right behind one of my friend's in my first race ! About the 3rd turn we go into, some dumbass comes up behind me and runs right into me, i go down he goes down etc etc. by the time i get up and get my bike cranked i go from 2nd to dead last. So of course this EXTREMELY pissed me off, because i'm very competitive, and i just start hauling ass hitting everything wide open. About turn 5 on the track on the last lap are 2 table tops back to back, and i had asked my friends if they could be doubled, there like "NO NO, the pro guys dont try it, cause there too far apart and cant get enough speed up coming out of the turn", Well needless to say my dumbass came out of the turn and i HAMMERED it. Well, i ALMOST made ROFL. Went into air, and right before i came down bike does a nose dive into the face of the 2nd table top. Mild concusion and blew out my acl in my knee. Put myself on crutches in a nice leg brace for about 5 months. It sucked

I'm curious, if you were on a track, how did u get road rash ? Because full leathers are a requirment to get onto any track to ride.

[JenGTZ]

Well lets see... my whole family rides but yes they all ride Harleys, Mom, Dad, brother and uncle. I do not like the way Harleys look and they just aren't my style so I went out and bought a 2000 CBR600 F4. First and only bike... My mom, best friend Heather and myself took the motorcycle safety course on Mothers Day in 2003 and all got our endorsements. Took me almost 2 years to find a bike I could afford and liked. I've had it since October of last year. I've been into cars and bikes my whole life, I've had a show car since I was 18 (still have it) so this is just another ones of my things.

Crashes - I dropped the bike in the driveway the first time I ever rode it. I got off work early one lovely day, decided to go home and take the bike out. I rode for about an hour all by myself with no problems, hadn't been on a bike for 1 1/2 years. Got home from riding, pulled it into the driveway on an angle and hit the front brake too hard which sent the bike to the ground...had to call my neighbor to help me pick it up...sooooo embarassed! hahahaha....

Tickets - None so far, I'm hoping I'll have luck like bkrgurl and they'll let me go since I'm a chick! :shy: :D

[SickF*ck6969]

i got my first bike at 4 years old.....

it was a honda atc 70...... i would love to find one again and redo it.....that would be sick.... :pimp:

[f4igIRlie]

[Mafia]

[tommydiablo]

CBO - man wow thats fucked up, haha.
and you know what, now that i think of it, i have never been ticketed with a chick on the back. not that i would compain but it's bullshit.

my first run in with the police was on my bros kawi kz pos. he used to wheelie and do donuts and shit so cops knew we were the assholes with the bikes and checked on us here and there. any way i was tryig to lean rolling burnouts one day and he came around the corner, i was busted red handed. 12 years old, no lic, no tag/registration, destruction of public property. can you beleive the fucker wanted to take me to juvi.....he ended up yelling at my bro for a good 5 minutes for letting me ride it...hahaha. :fiddy:

[WaynesNside]

I always loved bikes since they all were Ninjas..(Joke) Me and my boys always talked about getting some till one day we just got some dough and bought one...my cousins and his friends had bikes so that got me around them a lil bit too.

After me and my boy bought the bikes he got a girl, sold his I sold my 91 ZX7 to get a 98 F3, flipped it after 3 months...wasnt hurt though...waited a year or so and bought my 01 600.

Crashed on the highway when someone knocked a construction barrel N front of me, crashed going to fast around a turn N Milwaukee (a lot of guys crashed there) and then flipped that F3...not so far so good after a lot of stupid stuff.

[dHERZ]

i always admired street bikes from afar when i was younger but my parents hated them they thought they were dangerous and shit...dirt bikes to! when i was 16 my neighbor told me his cousin was trying to sell his bike that he had...i checked it out and it seemed like a good bike to learn on. i bought it off him for $400 that i had saved up, bike had no tags or insurance i had no license or anything bike didnt even look close to legal haha, it was a 1987 honda cbr 600 hurrincane....i loved it so much i rode every all over town at night, my parnets had no idea though when they found out they kicked me out of the house for a good long while haha, they soon realized my passion for bikes wasnt going anywhere and i agreed to get my license and take a class and shit, i did all that and saved up for my next bike which i just sold, a 97 gsxr 750, and my current bike is a 98 900 rr

worst crash...loooped the hurricane in a parking lot learning slow wheelies, no injuries just scrapes


worst ticket...2 weeks ago i took the 9 hundo up my road cause it was killer nice out...i havent registerd it yet or anything, anyways i lifted in first and wheelied for what seemed like forever when i put it down there was a cop behind me with his lights on he was like an inch from me and i was only oging like 25 probably the whole time he said he was behind me in my wheelie for a while lol, anyways i got reckless driving, unregisterd, and uninsured....i have court tommorow :Noooo:

[bikerboy]

young kid maybe 8yrs old. We found a broke down crank scooter in the canyon. Someone ghost rode it off of a cliff. We got it running, put a bicylke tire on the front and mobbed that bitch around...

The bike was trashed. The way to crank it up was to put a vice grip on the crank and get that thing running.

IUt swas fun to say the least...


No one in my family rides. My grandfather did back in the day but hasn't in 40yrs before he died.

I am the only one besides my cousin and my uncle who raced for many yrs on the circuit.

I have al;ways wanted to ride and have been wanting deeply to do it since I could remember riding a bicyuclke. My parents just didn't condone motorcycles. So it took great determination to keep the dream alive on my own since I was 7 or 8. No one has EVER paid for any bike or helped pay. I worked cutting lawns and picking up leave at which time I bought my first "legal" bike. Registered in my name and everything. It was an 83 Honda Aero 50 scooter. UNtill the police took it away...

I'll stop there since I have bought myself over 20 motorcycles during my time.

[Judge]

i'm new so i would like to know yall on here. my father brought me into the sport. he drag raced bikes {top gas and super comp, for those who know} i've been riding around on tanks since i was in diapers. i learned to ride when i was 5 on a trail 70. :



lol.....1969 Honda Trail 70...bought with the same build date as my b-day....I learned on it at around 4-5yrs old....had to stand on a milk crate to get on it....and had to stop next to the crate as well....learned real quick how to pick a motorcycle up.....lol

[LadyCrysis]

my aunt was/is a biker chick. so she always hung out w/ the harley crowd. other than that, i only know em from CBO. :hyper:

[warbuk]

let's see. got my first bike when i was 5 (xr-50). then i got a xr-80 when i was 10. after that parents split and didn't get another bike untill i was 30. i bought me and my two boys some new yamahas pw80, ttr-125, ttr-225. a year later i bought my first street bike, a 04'fz6 rode that shit for four months and traded it in for a 04' zx6-rr. oohhh yeah.

as far as wrecks. i've wrecked the 225 a few times showing out. i even put a 12 bar on it lol. couple of freinds wrecked trying that shit. lol.
I hit a deer on the fz6 doing about 55 with a girl on the back and did not wreck, just locked my arms and slid that shit all over the road. never laid down neither street bike.

[tommydiablo]

when i was a kid there used to be a race called superbikes of miami...{i grew up in miami beach} they used to cone off the city streets and haul ass. that did it for me. i was hooked on street bikes since they were all "ninja's" too....lmao. even though i grew up around the strip, i wanted to road race..or ride street bikes....then i saw gary rothwell's showtime....it was all downhill from there. haha.
