Pardon ^^

i think that it translates to "i like motorbikes, they are both practical convenient and exciting. does anybody know anyone from the Aquilla motorcycle club". hth mckaw ;)

grew up around bikes. had my first pair of lether gloves wen i was 2 sidi's aswell . used to go to track days and watch my dads mate race.

My dad was into bikes (not sure if he was sexy mind), him helping me get a car was never really an option so I started out on bikes with a 50 when I was 16 and been on 2 wheels ever since. Only started driving a car as well once I got to mid twenties.

Dry weather only weekend rider these days. Irritates me me when people think that your not a "real" biker unless you drive in all weathers all year around.

A good mate of mine took me out on the back of his GSXR (now mine) in summer 04, after doing a very fast pillion lap of Wellington I said I had ot have one. And here we are, with the bike and license wouldn't give it up for the world, no matter how cold or expensive it is. As its a hobbie/toy its sometimes hard to justify, until I get on it, then it makes sense.

Because my 3 brothers are Hells Angels in Bristol, didnt want to be the odd one out

I was shallow and saw motorcycling as a means to wider social acceptance. I am still shallow and the strategy completely failed.

only resone i got into bilking was becaues cars are so good dame boring working o them all day going home in one as well is not my idaer of fun

you didn't want to teach English then ^

both my mum and dad had motor bikes. when i was 17, beacuse i live out in the country i needed transport. got a 125 thinking it would be for about 6 month before i could get a car. 6 months came and was booked in for my test with the new in the drive way i dont see my self getting a car anytime soon, a bigger bike is the only way.

everyones a biker, they just havn't had the chance to realise it

Dunno really, I find cars pretty damn boring and fuggly, never had an interest in them tbh. Also I grew up in St Thomas in Exeter and as you all know the road house used to be a slaves pub so id always see loads of bikes around and who can fault that they look good and sound good. Just really like bikes I guess

Bikes are fast, exiting and its just another great way to break the law and have fun at the same time!!!!! Im hooked, couldnt ever give them up!!!

Wanted a bike since I was 17, House buying and families got in the way, So I thought if I don't do it now (about 10 years ago) I never will, so here I am. In direct answer to Andrews question though....I can blame Barry Sheene...used to work opposite Heron Suzuki in the 70's.
Used to see his truck regularly, started watching him on telly, wanted to do it..simple as that realy.

1st ride on bike was when I was 4yrs on my dads Matcheless, was well into bikes by age of 13yrs onwards to current day and foreseeable future!
