What got you started?

[Juicy]

I never cared for bikes, at all. Figured them to be impracticle and dangerous. One night a mechanically dumbassed friend asked me to help install pipes on his Honda Shadow. Free beer, why not.

After we got everything tightened up we fired up the thing. I mean, it was just an old 600 twin, but it sounded so nice. So from that day on I got addicted to vtwins. I love that 5th gear, 30mph, twist the throttle, insta-torque. I love how my slow 800 vtwin (by motorcycle standards) is still faster than most cars on the street. I love how parking is never a problem. I love 40 mpg despite on 87 octane.

Hope to upgrade to a SV1000 before this riding season is over. Just can't decide between the naked or the sport. Kind of like the poor man's Duc Monster.

cars, racing, bikes....its all in my blood...My father was a gunghoe mofo .....he died before he got a chance to get me intrested in this stuff(I was 3)....so, therefore, I must get it all from him.

i don't really remember, i've just always been into bikes, and cars. don't really know how exactly i got into them...i'm sure my dad had a little to do with it, he's been riding for over 40 years now. but he's no where close to being into cars.

my neighbor had a honda 70 scooter then my dad got a little bike when i was 6 or 7. I learned to ride on it and I always wanted a bike after that.

All my friends have bikes. They taught me how to ride and I fell in love with them. :)

Had some extra money laying around one day and decided to buy one. Now I'm hooked.
