I learned to ride when I was 15. My friend's father used to buy bikes and cars and fix them up and sell them. He had a couple of 125's and my friend knew how to ride (presumably he taught her, I never asked), so she taught me in the new housing development across from ours that wasn't developed yet, so lots of empty roads, no traffic. From the first time I was able to move that bike along, I was HOOKED! I couldn't wait until I could own a bike some day. It took me quite a few years - I bought my first bike at age 31 - a brand new Suzuki Savage 650. I absolutely loved that bike, and had it for 12 years, but finally decided to sell it before I moved to AZ 2 years ago. I've wanted to buy a new bike for many years, and still hope to someday!
