Ah ok so I did that too. The motorcycle safety course thing....sure sure, I did that so I could get my permit at 16. It was required in Maine at the time to get your permit at 16......

The english equivelent of the msf course i took, so i voted msf. always had bikes though, just took that prior to doing the test to get my license.

i had never ridden before and the msf course was great, plus all i had to do was take my completion certificate to the driver's license office and they gave me my license with no test. it cost $185

I had none. I did the friction zone in the drive way a few times to get use it, then out I went. Took to it like a fish to water. Then a few months later I did the MSF course, but the course was great. I learned a lot!

i learned the basics on my dads cb750 when i was 14, come to think of it, thats also how i learned how to drive a standard. oww the shins! before that there wasnt really anything, never been on a dirt bike.

I rode the hell out of a JR 80 for a couple of years, then I rode a pocketbike for 2 years, then up to my 600RR. Im nowhere near to pushing the limits of the bike, nor myself for that matter, but it is still SOOOO much fun. Glad I decided to take the jump.


good poll by the way

I started out riding an old Honda 220 trail bike, then went to MXing, and now this... Derned if this isn't waaaaaaay better!!!!

My first bike was a rupp mini bike with a 7 1/2 horse tecumseh and no front brake then on to an AT125,DT250,360,400,XT550 and first new bike an 85 VF700F and on from there.

same as Anubis did the mrf equivalent in the U.K which i think if i remember was
called CBT. i was on bikes before but needed that to gain a license, then it was sports all the way!!!

dirt bikes, my first dirt bike i rode was some old ass suzuki dirt bike and it was like 98cc or something like that when i was 13. been riding off and on ever since, only recently got into it when i got my first street bike about a little more than a year and a half ago. been hooked ever since.
