Rode first Motorcycle at age 6....... Now am 49. I have never been without a motorcycle. Current ride is a 1993 VT1100. Have had it for almost 15 years. Got it, after years of crotch rockets, too slow down. Unfortunatley, I have found it's not the bike that causes me to ride fast. As I get told to slow down by my rocket friends just as much as ever.
