How Many years of street riding experience do you have?

[FreedomRings]

I have been riding for 20 plus years, dirt bikes, ATV's and Harley's, bought my spyder last year and love it. Husband has been riding since he was about 3 on snowmachines, dirt bikes, atvs, sport bikes etc so about 25 plus years. He rides a Harley right now, but funny enough loves to take my spyder. I have not yet converted him over to getting a spyder, but give it time lol. He too shall be converted :doorag:

Dudley, that's Spooky 1968 on the same bike.......Mike...:yikes:

 

[Chazzman]

40 years, 35 bikes... Rode the Spyder in 2008 and thought if they ever come out with a touring model I would be interested. I purchased a 2012 RT Limited, only 1600 miles but I am enjoying it more every ride.

How long

You stopped sort of short in your poll. Where are the categories for 30, 40, or 50 years?

I've been riding on the street for over 50...and I have a long way to go to catch a few of our more seasoned members.

:agree: with Scotty. I got my first bike, a 1949 Indian Scout, in 1964. I needed some money and sold it for $125. I wonder what it would be worth today?

I began I think was 1945 or 1946.. As you all know I have senior moments to take into account.. My math is bad too.. soooo I'll just say it has been a long ryde.

However, my 1st ride.. Guess it's year and what it is and I'll buy you a cup of coffee when I see you... However, I want you to know the picture is not mine but I had one just like it.

Rode for 2 years. Stopped riding for 10 years, and then that darn Cam Am commercial started, and I was hooked. One year on my :spyder2:

 

[spyderspyke]

My first bike:yes::yes: I, too, had a motorcycle at the top of my bucket list. Couldn't have made a better choice. Bought a new Corvette in 2005. That

$55,000 car never brought me the joy this $16,000.00 bike has:bowdown: Purchased my bike last June(2011) and I have never regretted it hyea:hyea: Once I was

bitten by the :f_spider:, there has been no antidote:yes::yes:. She is about to roll over 5000 miles, and I am still .

When I was 14 I talked my Dad into buying me an old junk Barnett that was mostly in boxes.....two days later I had it together, running and tearing up and down the driveway. Still remember the 'discussion' my parents had....
Mom- "Phil, why did you buy Danny a motorcycle.....have you lost your mind?" :gaah:

Dad- "Jeez Rita, I never thought he'd get it running!" pps:

That was 53 years ago and I've been riding on 2 wheels ever since. Got the GS Nov. '11 and love it but still have a 2 wheeler....probly always will.

Well Im going to guess that you had an Indian 4 cylinder about 1938.Last one I saw was in sturgis in 1957
