my first ride, was the gateway to the start of a downward spiral in the addiction i call motorcycles. I began riding quads when I was young, my uncle raced motorcross, and my dad and I went every sunday to watch him race. My uncle and I rode trails over the years, and I finally decided to get a street bike. I came up with a cbr 600 f3. I had built a v8 s10 a few years prior, and I traded the s10 straight up for the cbr. My first ride was in the rain, with a loaner helmet( with no visor) and off I went. I didn't know it at the time but my speedometer was way off, due to being geared down one in the front, so I thought i was doing 55, but really i was doing about 40( and getting passed by cars) But from them on, I was hooked on riding motorcycles and I have ridden for 3 years now, and I ride as much as i can, and when im not riding, im dreaming about riding!
