Wondering what age were you when you first started riding and how old are you now ?

Do you ride and drive or just ride ?
 
Personally I am 43 yrs old, next Thursday the 12th......and I passed my DAS last February 2011, only been riding a little over one year so far. Have been driving a car since I was 17 yrs old.

Wish I had been riding since I was 17 tbh...all those wasted years .......
 
Started on a ped at 16 and am 17 now

Use a bike as sole transport (but have a car licence) two main reasons I ride over driving is 1. Riding is way more fun 2.car insurance is way over priced
 
Started riding around 27 years ago. Took a 20 year break and got back on a bike last year. Massive regret giving it up for 20 years but nothing I can do about that now.

Have a car licence as well but don't have a car, gave it up for riding again, and in all honestly can't see me having a car again unless I win the lottery and get an Aston.
 
I started riding when i was like 10, pit bikes ect so i guess they dont count. Been riding on the road since i was 16, 18 now and working on my car license to.
 
I'm 20, been riding since I got a 125 on my 17th birthday, full licence at 18 and bought a SV650S. Got car licence in September 2011 just whilst I was working and had some spare money, thought I may aswell get it over and done with.
 
25 now been riding since I was 17, had ridden a few times off road before though.

Can drive also, use bike to commute most of the time too.
 
started at 16, 48 next birthday, still haven't bothered learning how to drive a car.
 
Started riding at 17 on a Kawasaki KE100. Passed test in 1989 and progressed through countless bikes as diverse as GSXR750's to BMW K100RS'. Currently riding an Aprilia RSV Mille.

Age 41 this August. I also drive, we own a Peugeot 4007 4x4 and a Peugeot 107 Urban. Had a BMW X5 4.8is up until September last year when it had to go - it was either it or the bike as belts required to be tightened financially. 1 year old son isn't cheap to run!!.

I also drive as part of my work, EFAD qualified fire and rescue service driver.
 
41 now, passed my test just after my 17th birthday, on a TS125C that is still in my dads garage. Passed my car test at 22, about 6 months after smashing my wrist up (or rather a brain dead schoolgirl smashing my wrist up).

EDIT: Started riding on a field bike (Suzuki B100P) at grandparents place in Cornwall when I was about 9 or 10.

Had a TS-50X as first bike at 16, then put a 70cc bore kit on it (shhhh dont tell anyone) with 'big one' pipe and end can.
Moved up to a Kawasaki KH125 briefly when i hit 17 then in a few months got my license (restricted) and rode a CBR400RR (unrestricted but shhh don't tell anyone again ;) ) then as i was commuting 60-70 miles a day i got a Yamaha XJ600 (diversion).

Haven't ridden in a couple of years but plan to get back on with a Triumph Street Triple R very soon :)
 
54 now, started riding at the age of 16 and passed my test at 17. Have had bikes ever since, current one being a Ducati 1098s.
Passed my car test at 17 as well, have been driving ever since as well. Current cars are a Golf 1.9 TDI and an Aston Martin Vantage.
