started ridding when I was 5 30 now and dont remember ever not having some kind of 2 wheel machine..
first bike was a honda 50 dont remember how long I had that, but when I was 8 dad got me a yamaha 100 4 stroke but still rode the 50 ( new bike was to tall in the saddle) for my 12th b-day got a kawi KX125 raced it for 3 races and broke the frame same day the castcame off my arm dad took me to the Honda shop to getme a CR 125 but I fell inlove with a KTM 250 that was used, raced that for a year befor I blew the tranny. It was then that the local Honda shop offerd me a good deal ( little did I know my dad had bought 50% of the business a week eariler) but I was to get free bikes (125's) free ridding gear that had the Honda shop name in it, and free service. But I had ot keep good grades and all that Jazz..So I took it and raced 125's in the AMA for 4 years till stepping up to 250's when I was 17.. Went through countless bike I remember 4 in one year( dad was not happy, but I won 99% of the races I didnot break stuff in). Thenthe big show bug got me, I started racing all over the country running with McGrath and so on.. I had a full backing and my bikes were preped just like the factory bikes.. Was racing the GA dome in July 7 years ago, I was doing very well in the race even tho my bike was acting up real bad.. It was landing real hard on any kind of jump with more then 5ft of air.. So I was taking the long side of the track to stay out of faster ridders way.. Seems i was going better then most anyhow, had one guy following me the whole track.. 2 turns from the end I was sik of him so I went short on the turn and stayed low, he was expecting me to go high. long story short he hit me square in my back at 35+ mph with his front tire. I was inthe hospital for 3 months and spent a year learning to walk again.. Dad was very upset and took the blame, all of it, he sold the bike shop ( by now he owned it 100% free and clear) all my bikes the truck and traier. I told him he was a idiot he told me I worked EMS and not in the bike shop so it did not matter lol.. Well I have yet to be on a dirt bike but have a 6 year old nephew who races motocross and isfreaking awesome..
Once able to ride again dad gave me his old pan head hd I rode it for about a hour till I said this sucks loud and slow andrides like a tater wagon. called my buddy who was selling his triumph legend, then got me a FXR, sold it got a soft tail deluxe, sold it got a chopper, kept it got a CBR f2 then a CBR 929 then a CB1,, about then one of my buddies died and hos wife gave me his old BMW their VTX1800, then i got my first BA (all back of course) then my second BA (all back as of 4pm) and now I am in the market for a goldwing or a ultra classic HD for my alaska trip..Oh and the SporsterI just got last week, but it is a gift for my brother,(all 4 of my sisters and parents chipped in)
crib notes est 20+ dirt bikes Soft tail and a FXR
Have still CBR F2 CBR 929 triumph legend BigDog chopper BMW VTX 1800 2004 BA 2004 BA 2006 Sporster
My insurance company loves me when I pay the bill every year, but it is still cheaper then my truck.
