started rideing in the back 40 on a 50cc h.d. then a 125 bennili, a couple 90 hondas, and a 250 allstate from sears, started ice raceing on a 90 honda then a snortster and then a Triumph 250cub. got outa that, and after several yrs rideing the road i ended up getting a 125RM suzuki (really ENJOYED that bike) it was the first yr for the RM and it had the TM engine and lay down shocks. did a little competition rideing for a few yrs. i REALLY ENJOYED those yrs, but i attribute my passion for rideing to those early bikes and the time spent in the back 40.
